Aiden Neate Review
" The Perfect Home Set Up "
Coming from Karting to Cars, it was a big change in how to drive. I learned all the key techniques along with my driver coach on the simulator. I am constantly on the simulator to try and improve my driving and feel the software Cool Performance provide super accurate. It helped me get ahead of the rest when it came down to the finer aspects of driving in races.

Aiden Neate x Cool Performance
Aiden Neate trained on his Formula Pro through the big step from karting to cars, learning the key techniques with his driver coach on the simulator. He made his car racing debut in French F4 in 2021 before switching to the F4 British Championship with Phinsys by Argenti, scoring three podiums. In 2022 he finished third in the Formula 4 UAE Championship with Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema, then took his first F4 win at Thruxton and a second at Croft in British F4. He joined the Alpine Academy at the start of 2023 and raced in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Prema, taking a podium in the opening round at Dubai Autodrome. Aiden is the son of former British Touring Car Championship driver Andy Neate, who also trains on a Cool Performance simulator.
