## What informed this capture

1. Ross Bentley, *Speed Secrets* series - primary coaching framework; acquire licensed excerpts rather than relying on summaries.
2. Speed Secrets Weekly and Ross Bentley coaching articles - practical terminology and recurring drills; verify canonical URLs and dates.
3. Ross Bentley podcast, webinar, and driver-coaching appearances - spoken delivery and modern application; retain transcripts with speaker attribution.
4. Professional racing biographies and race reports - background context, secondary to his own coaching corpus.

## What the pipeline should ingest later

1. Official Speed Secrets site articles and newsletter archive - preferred text corpus; record rights and author byline.
2. Licensed excerpts from *Speed Secrets* books - prioritize diagnosis, data, mental-performance, and practice chapters.
3. Official Ross Bentley YouTube/podcast appearances - transcribe clear single-speaker portions for spoken register.
4. Driver-development course material only where access and rights allow - useful but must not be scraped from gated products.
