The Drivers
Becoming a Hummingbird driver isn’t just about steering a vehicle around a track—it’s about mastering the art of racing with nerves of steel and razor-sharp focus. It takes a special kind of discipline and determination to be selected as a Hummingbird driver, and only the best are up for the challenge.
A great Hummingbird driver needs complete trust in their teammates—from the mechanics who fine-tune the vehicle to the safety crew and the performance team crunching numbers behind the scenes.
But once they’re out on the track, ultimately, it’s the driver who must rely on their exceptional skills in alertness and quick decision-making, they have to be ready to react in a split second to anything that happens on the track.
With speeds pushing 30mph, every move matters. Drivers must expertly handle the Hummingbird, balancing speed and efficiency, while staying fully focused.
At the same time, they’re in constant communication with the team over the radio, receiving real-time updates and instructions.
It’s a team effort, but it’s the driver who must maintain discipline and keep their cool under pressure, following every instruction with precision.
Being a Hummingbird driver isn’t just about having great reflexes—it’s about having the mental toughness to push through the pressure, a hunger to perform at your very best, and the confidence to trust yourself and your team. On race day, all eyes are on the Hummingbird driver as they push the vehicle—and themselves—to the limit, racing for victory.
