Let's have a closer look at your lap in the Super Formula at Red Bull Ring.
At Red Bull Ring, the Super Formula car becomes all about commitment, aero stability, and carrying speed through a layout that looks simple but punishes hesitation. Turn 1 sets the tone â a firm brake hit, clean release, and early rotation so the front stays loaded as you fire uphill. The climb to Turn 3 is where the aero really matters; keep the car straight, avoid midâbraking corrections, and let the downforce lock the platform in place. Any slide or steering jab costs momentum all the way to Turn 4, which rewards a âcarry speedâ mindset rather than aggression.
Across the lap, the Super Formula thrives on smooth inputs and rhythm. The fast sweepers in the middle sector demand calm hands â the car stays planted if you trust the aero and avoid overâdriving the light rear. The final corners are all about precision: a clean brake release into Turn 9, then early commitment into Turn 10, unwinding the wheel so the aero pulls you through. When you stay disciplined on entry, keep the platform stable, and let the downforce do the work, Red Bull Ring becomes a fast, flowing lap where the Super Formula feels razorâsharp and deeply rewarding.
You are braking too late, causing you to run deep into the corner and compromising your exit and costing you time. Try braking at an earlier point to avoid overshooting the corner, so you can maintain a higher minimum speed and gain more time overall. - Example

Let's have a closer look at your lap in the Super Formula at Suzuka.
Extra -
At Suzuka, the Super Formula car becomes all about commitment, aero discipline, and carrying speed through some of the most demanding highâspeed sequences in the world. The lap starts with precision: Turn 1 needs a clean brake release and early rotation so the front stays loaded as you drop into the SâCurves. This is where the car comes alive â the chassis wants smooth, deliberate inputs, letting the downforce build as you link each direction change without hesitation. Any extra steering or midâcorner correction scrubs speed instantly and breaks the rhythm that defines the entire first sector.
From Dunlop through Degner, Suzuka rewards trust. The car stays planted if you commit early and keep the platform stable, especially over the bumps and compressions. The run to the Spoon Curve is all about patience; the first apex needs restraint so you can open the wheel and drive hard out of the second. The final challenge is 130R and the braking into the chicane â highâspeed commitment followed by maximum stability. When you stay disciplined on entry, let the aero work, and build speed cleanly off each corner, Suzuka becomes a fast, flowing lap where Super Formula feels razorâsharp, intuitive, and incredibly rewarding.
You are lifting off the throttle too much compared to the reference lap, causing your speed to drop significantly more than optimal through the esses, costing you a lot of time as a result. Try releasing the throttle a bit less, so you can maintain a higher minimum speed through these fast corners, gaining you more time overall. - Example
----------------------
13/05/2026
Let's have a closer look at your lap in the Formula Vee at Tsukuba Circuit.
Extra -
At Tsukuba Circuit, the lap in a Formula Vee is all about momentum, rhythm, and precision. The short layout means every corner directly affects the next, so maintaining flow is far more important than attacking aggressively. With limited power, the key is carrying speed through the apex and minimising any scrub from unnecessary steering or braking input.
Consistency is what makes Tsukuba challenging. The lap is short, technical, and easy to overdrive, which means small mistakes cost a surprising amount of time. When you focus on clean lines, smooth transitions, and preserving momentum through every phase of the corner, the circuit flows together into a fast and rewarding lap.
Have a look at your steering inputs. Often, you are turning the wheel too much. Try to reduce your inputs by 20-30 degrees to avoid understeer. Understeer is when the front tyres lose grip before the rear tyres, which results in the car steering less than optimal. This can cause the tyres to wear faster and increase tyre temps (making the tyre too hot), you'll also have to go slower through corners to make it around. - example
----------------------
30/04/2026
Let's have a look at your lap at Winton Motor Raceway - National Circuit in the Formula Vee.
Extra -
At Winton â National Circuit, a Formula Vee lap is all about momentum, precision, and keeping every kilometre of speed alive. With low power and short straights, any hesitation or extra steering input costs time you canât win back. The flowing first sector and tighter infield reward drivers who stay smooth, commit early, and carry maximum minimum speed through each corner.
Winton in a Vee rewards patience, rhythm, and clean lines. When you protect momentum, avoid scrubbing the tyres, and link the corners together with calm, efficient inputs, the lap feels simple â but getting it right demands real discipline and consistency.
You are getting back on throttle too slowly, costing you time on the exit of the corner as you are not able to get up to speed as quick as you could. Try getting onto the throttle quicker so you can carry a higher exit speed and gain more time with the extra momentum for the straight. - Example
----------------------
16/04/2026
Let's have a look at your lap at Navarra in the Formula Vee.
Extra -
At Circuito de Navarra, the lap in a Formula Vee is all about momentum, precision, and making every bit of speed count. With limited power, the focus is on carrying as much minimum speed as possible through each corner, because any loss is hard to recover on the short straights. The trackâs mix of flowing sections and tighter corners rewards drivers who can stay smooth and avoid unnecessary inputs.
Navarra in a Formula Vee rewards patience, flow, and consistency. When you stay smooth, protect momentum, and focus on clean, efficient lines, the lap comes together in a way that feels simple but demands real discipline to perfect.
Have a look at your steering inputs. Sometimes, you are turning the wheel too much. Try to reduce your inputs by 20-30 degrees to avoid understeer. Understeer is when the front tyres lose grip before the rear tyres, which results in the car steering less than optimal. This can cause the tyres to wear faster and increase tyre temps (making the tyre too hot), you'll also have to go slower through corners to make it around. - example
----------------------
02/04/2026
It looks like you have really progressed with the throttle over the last few months. This plan encompasses all the aspects of the go faster pedal. It is key to treat this pedal with respect and precision regardless of the power of the car and you now understand the power the throttle has on tuning the car too. Keep at it as there are still times where you are rushing to 100% and others where you are too patient. Practice makes perfect.
Extra -
In the final corner at Oschersleben, you braked too late, which compromised your exit due to the extra speed carried into the corner. Try adjusting to an earlier braking point and take a wider line into the corner, so you can maintain get on the throttle earlier and gain more time. - Example
----------------------
18/03/2026
You have exhibited mastery of the racing line, consistently choosing the optimal path through corners to maximise speed and efficiency. Your precision in hitting the apex and maintaining the ideal trajectory from entry to exit ensures minimal distance travelled and maximum momentum. Your ability to adapt to varying track conditions while maintaining the perfect line demonstrates a deep understanding of car dynamics and track geometry. Smooth, controlled steering inputs and flawless execution of line choice significantly contribute to your competitive lap times, showcasing a high level of skill and situational awareness essential for peak performance.
Extra -
Here you turn in too late. This means your entry is compromised because you have to use a tighter radius. For corners where exits onto the straight are critical you want to be apexing later like this but not here where there is a corner following. Example
â
â
----------------------
04/03/2026
Some more work is needed here before we pass. Currently, you are lifting off the throttle too early and too slowly and getting back on power too late. Don't worry though, this is a really hard to get right as the standard to pass is very high. Give it another go and see how you get on. Good luck and have fun!
Extra -
Occasionaly, you are braking too late which causes you to run a bit wide on exit. this costs you time through the corner and the straight following. - example
----------------------
19/02/2026
The attempt here was commendable. But, considering this challenge aims to integrate all skills, the bar for passing is set significantly higher. Mastery in every aspectâentry, apex, and exitâis crucial for advancement. Focus especially on utilizing the track more effectively during entries and exits.
Extra -
Once you see that the car is not responding to your inputs, you've found the tyres' grip limit. Now you only need to stay under that limit. It looks like here you unwind the wheel in a step once you realise this instead of smoothly fixing your mistake. Example
â
----------------------
04/02/2026
This was a pretty good effort. However since this is a bringing it all together challenge the pass threshold is much higher than before. You really need to nail all areas of entry, apex and exit to move on. Particularly try to use more track on the entries and exits.
Extra -
Sometimes you're turning your steering wheel a bit too much, mainly in the tighter corners. This can cause a lot of understeer since you're essentially making the tyres slide on the track. Try to reduce your steering input and then slightly turn a little more each lap. Once you see that the car is not responding to your inputs, you've found the tyres' grip limit. Now you only need to stay under that limit. Example
â
----------------------
21/01/2026
Nice stuff. With all you have learnt in the last few months you are beginning to master the braking game. We looked at timing, pressure, speed and trailbraking and you have really progressed in all these areas. As always there is no such thing as perfect so keep working at it because you can always improve. Keep looking at the telemetry to get clues.
Extra -
Holding the brakes at full pressure for too long is slowing your car down too much. Try to be more nimble with the foot action and trust the cars gripping ability. Example
â
----------------------
07/01/2026
You are most of the way there with braking but I am seeing a few areas we could improve. Since this is about bringing all the areas into one assessment I would like to see you try this again. Focus particularly on your braking point and the way you trailbrake. Try to also hit the brakes only once in key braking zones. You are almost there, lets just get this right before moving on.
Extra -
Even though your apexes were really good, it is important also to get the width on entry and exit from the corners, work on this as you look at the second aspect of your braking. Example
â
----------------------
24/12/2025
Your steering looks very smooth and you unwind the wheel quickly but in control. This enables you to get on the power faster as the car can straighten up under traction. The car is also more stable and predictable, giving you better control as you power out of the corner. Try to use the reference to compare your steering on turn-in as well to further improve your times. Braking up next
Extra -
Here you go too wide in the first part of the complex. This makes the final right much tighter and means you cannot accelerate out early enough. You lose time from this mistake. Compromise in corner complexes is key to the best overall time. Example
â
----------------------
11/12/2025
Your braking technique is decent; you've got the timing down pretty well. However, there's still work to be done on how you apply the brakes for smoother control. Your understanding of brake bias is adequate, but there's potential to improve how you use it for better cornering. Keep working on these details.
Extra - Your biggest hurdle at present is lifting off the gas prematurely rather than flooring it to complete throttle. Try refining your trajectory slightly by taking a tighter line into the apexâthat'll be a game-changer. Example
â
----------------------
26/11/2025
Youâve got some braking issues here. The trick is really to lean on that brake pedalâpush it right to the edge. As you get sharper, this is one of the easiest places to shave off a tenth or two. Brakingâs a mix of muscle and finesse: hit the marker hard, then bleed off smoothly into the apex. Right now youâre a bit inconsistent on the pedal. Keep at it, youâll tighten it up.
Extra - You are giving up mid-corner speed by not taking a tight enough apex. Make sure to use every inch of track available on corner entry, apex and exit where the car is stable. Example
â
â
----------------------
12/11/2025
There are general braking errors here. It is very important to push the boundaries of brake pedal, as you improve it is this one of the best ways to find a tenth or two on track. The brakes need force and finesse at the same time. It is all about nailing that braking point and then smoothly transitioning into the apex. You are a little bit too inconsistent on the pedal. Keep trying.
â
Extra - Currently, the main challenge is your tendency to back off the throttle instead of committing to full 100% acceleration. A small adjustment to your line, hugging the apex more closely, will greatly improve this. Example
â
----------------------
31/10/2025
This is a bit of a close pass, but it's still a pass, well done!
Your turn-in points are looking quite good, although you're often turning-in later than the reference driver, but that comes down to car setup and driving style. You're still within the vicinity of a good turn-in point, so that's good.
You do need to work on trail braking and using the car's weight shifts to rotate it into the corner and carrying more speed through it. There were segments where you were either going too fast into a corner, or lost speed due to a lack of trail braking. Remember to work on these things to further improve your performance.
Still, well done, this is a good pass. Keep up the good work!
Extra -
In this segment, you're crossing to the opposite side of the track to open up the entry into that full throttle chicane, which is understandable. However, as strange as it must look, it's better to choose a tighter entry here. In a low powered car like the Formula Vee, conserving momentum is everything. To do that, you want to turn the wheel as little as possible to avoid scrubbing off speed.
Taking that into account for this chicane, a tighter entry means that you can use the kerbs to find a much straighter racing line, using less steering angle and scrubbing off less speed.
Try different entry lines here and see how each one affects your delta. Good luck!
----------------------
15/10/2025
Impressive driving. Your consistency, knowledge of the track and overall racing technique is looking strong. Obviously this is reflected in the lap times. Congratulations. All good drivers will take the time to examine their telemetry. When you are drive so well, sometimes it is hard to see exactly the mistakes that are taking place on track. Just the knowledge that sometime wasn't perfect is keeping you grinding out the laps. This is great and instils needed muscle memory however, we'd advise getting dirty in the telemetry a bit more. Find common issues, or weak corners so when you are next on track you can hone in on needed areas. Train smart and train hard! Good luck.
Extra - Here you go too wide in the first part of the complex. This makes the final right much tighter and means you cannot accelerate out early enough. You lose time from this mistake. Compromise in corner complexes is key to the best overall time. Example
â
----------------------
26/09/2025
The key to improvement lies in consistency and control. Rather than focusing on a single perfect lap, aim for a series of fast, reliable laps that build adaptability and confidence. Avoid overdrivingâpushing too hard leads to mistakes and invalid laps. Instead, prioritize smooth, deliberate adjustments to your racing line and braking points to better understand your car's behaviour. Smart, focused practice will not only lower lap times but also prepare you for the challenges of a full race.
Extra - Use the width of the track. Every opportunity to test the limits of the track should be used. There is room both on entry and exit to the corner to go wider. Example
â
----------------------
10/09/2025
Well done, you have successfully completed your setup work. Your dedication, hard work, and hopefully new understanding of setups have allowed you to pass this milestone. Your grasp of testing different setups in sim racing demonstrates your commitment to improving your skills. Congratulations on your achievement and good luck for your next Combination Assessment.
Extra - Here you turn in too late. This means your entry is compromised because you have to use a tighter radius. For corners where exits onto the straight are critical you want to be apexing later like this but not here where there is a corner following. Example
â
----------------------
28/08/2025
Your consistency of reaching 100% throttle as quickly as the reference lap was very good. You have mastered a technique here that many drivers find hard. Keep working through the items on the Previous Plans list that you struggle with most and you'll be knocking even more time off your laps.
Extra - Looks like you are slow on the straights. Improving straight-line speed starts with optimising your vehicle's setup: ensure your aero downforce is not too much, look as suspension alignment, and consider gear ratios that favour acceleration and peaks at the top of top gear. Remember, smooth inputs and maintaining momentum are key to shaving off those crucial tenths of a second. Example
â
----------------------
13/08/2025
AÂ nice improvement here. You show a smoother movement on the majority of segments. Just be aware that it is very easy to slip on this area. That smoothness of steering (as well as braking and throttle) will help you maintain a balance / weighted car. This combined with ensuring your use the full width of the track might help shave another few tenths off your time.
Extra - You're sacrificing potential speed in the middle of turns by not cutting the apex as sharply as possible. Maximise the track's width on entry, at the apex, and on exit when the car is under control and stable. Example
â
----------------------
30/07/2025
Great use of trail braking, by releasing the brake slowly to help rotate the car around sharper hairpins and get back on the throttle smoothly. This will help shave tenths off your time as you are setting yourself up well for the corner exit. Try also to be a little flexible about the power of your braking, remember of faster corners you can avoid braking all the way to 100%.
Extra - You're often turning too early into the corners, this means your exit is compromised because you have to delay the throttle to get around the tightening radius. For corners like this where exits onto the straight are critical you want to be apexing later and getting on the throttle early by straightening the wheel sooner. Also, turning-in later will allow you to have maximum grip for a longer time, which helps with being more effective on the brakes, allowing you to brake later and also trail brake a bit later. Example.
----------------------
17/07/2025
This is a hard skill to develop but it is very useful for understanding the weight distribution of your car. Also, as the plan states it gives a slightly extended time at top speed on the straights. Practice hard and try to feel how the car reacts as you slowly release the brake. Remember, as a guide to gauge finishing releasing the brake as you reach near the apex.
Extra - You've made good progress, but it's important to address your tendency to brake early. While being cautious is understandable, braking too early can lead to a loss of momentum, affecting your overall lap time. To optimise your performance, try to identify braking points that allow you to carry more speed into the corners. Gradually delay your braking to find the sweet spot where you're slowing down just enough without sacrificing speed. With practice, you'll find the right balance and see noticeable improvements in your lap times. Keep refining your techniqueâyou've got this! Example
â
----------------------
02/07/2025
As more skills are added to the combination assessments they naturally become harder. Essentially there are more areas where errors can be seen. You did an extremely good job last week and managed to pass. If you look back at your telemetry you'll be able to spot small improvements that are needed. For example, sometimes just a slight hesitation on the throttle as you accelerate or missing a tight apex.
Extra - Holding the brakes at full pressure for too long is slowing your car down too much. Try to be more nimble with the foot action and trust the cars gripping ability. Example
â
----------------------
20/06/2025
Keep at it, there is more work to do at the moment to get these 8 traits nailed. Your biggest issue tends to be your acceleration phase. There are a number of times that you hesitate on exit. As this is approximately 50%Â of corner you are digging into your lap times significantly. You need to push through, all the way to 100%Â and avoid the lifts. You also have the tendency to slightly over braking i.e. slow the car down a little too much entering the corner. Drive 5 laps, jump out of the telemetry and look at all those laps to see where you as repeating these errors on each corner.
Extra - Work on using a little less steering angle, this is a fine balance of speed of cornering and simply turning the wheel too much. Developing the skills of understand this limit or perfect amount is tricky. You can hear the tires, feel the car through the wheel and judge against the telemetry. Work on this balance to avoid losing time where the tires are scrubbing and resisting the forward motion of the car too much - example
----------------------
04/06/2025
We are ready to assess your practice from last week. Please provide us some laps and we'll check again on your next turnover day. To really learn a track in Sim racing, from our analysis of users data between 30-50 laps in a week are required to improve significantly (depending on track length).
The next Instructor notes will be provided when we have sessions to review. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing your improvements. đ
----------------------
21/05/2025
There were a number of errors that need addressing. With this second combination assessment we are now looking at eight different factors that make up your driving prowess. Firstly look closely at your gear choices, has there were times that you drop into too low a gear. This will be impacting your lap times significantly. Braking points were generally good, a few mistakes but your need to keep an eye on how hard you are braking. Look at your exit out of the corners as well as you have track to spare. Without this analysis you'll always be second guessing how you are performing on track. The top drivers will be looking for small errors and keep on testing changes to the lines and braking technique to see if they can save time on a corner.
Extra - Take a look at this session of yours. Try to give yourself more time hotlapping and practice so that you are hone your skills. The race environment isn't usually the best method to cement your skills - example
----------------------
07/05/2025
This is a good pass, well done! Sometimes you really hit the throttle perfectly. There are a few places where you're a bit early and have to lift off, but in general you are on the right track. As always, it is about the consistency of this. It is common for throttle work to be a more evolved process, trickier to master and stay focused. When you achieve a good acceleration point then you'll be half way to achieving the desired smooth acceleration with no lifting off.
You'll have another Combination Assessment up ahead. Good luck!
Extra - The path to a good acceleration begins still on the approach to a corner. You're already often using all of the track's width, that's great! After that, you'll need to trail brake into the corner. You should apply the brakes sharply at first, but then release them gradually. Begin easing off the brakes right as you start turning into the corner, and continue this slow release as you increase the steering angle until you hit the apex.
There are two ways that for technique can help you. In segments where your minimum speed is too low (example), or the opposite where it is too high (example). Trail braking will help you carry more speed at the corner entry while also slowing down enough to hit the apex and accelerate smoothly out of the corner.
On another note, the MX-5 that you're driving relies a lot on weight transfer to go around a corner quickly. Approaching a corner with the car unbalanced can lead to understeer or a spin. Trail braking becomes essential here because it'll allow you to control the car's weight balance and rotate it properly during the corner. You can see in this example how little steering input the driver on the reference lap is using and is basically "steering" the car with their feet. They even overdid it a bit and had to counter steer at the corner entry.
The MX-5 is actually a great car to practice trail braking and see how brake bias and different timings on the brake pedal will affect the car's balance and behaviour. It's not an easy skill to learn and we also have an assignment further ahead on it, but it's still important to practice and learn about it early on in order to be quick.
Keep up the good work!
----------------------
24/04/2025
Impressively consistent race times, showcasing your dedication and skill. This consistent performance is a crucial asset as you prepare for your upcoming Combination Assessment. Keep up the great work, it's evident that you're on the right track towards achieving your goals.
Extra - The biggest thing you could work on is carrying minimum speed, mostly through braking later and not lifting off as much through corners. This is giving you a big delta in corner exits. Example
----------------------
09/04/2025
Your racing lines are starting to look like you know what you are doing. In most situations we want to open up the entry and exit of the corner so that when we clip the apex the path we travel has the largest possible radius. This allows you to carry the most possible speed through the corner. There are exceptions, for example in corner complexes, where sometimes a compromise is required. There are a few corners where you are still entering too tight, which costs you minimum speed. Lets keep working on this as you go into the next challenge - Consistency.
Extra - Let's address your throttle timing. If you're hitting that gas pedal too late, you're missing out on optimal acceleration and forcing yourself to play catch-up. Aim to apply throttle promptly after braking to maintain a smooth and consistent pace. Don't leave it too late; find that balance for a smoother ride. Example
----------------------
26/03/2025
Sorry for the delay on the update.
Very good technique through the chicanes, well done! Good job using the track's width to get a wider entry and a straighter line through the chicanes. There was just this instance at Misano where you're going a bit too deep between the two corners. For some this is not considered a chicane, but it can still fall into that category, so try to brake a bit earlier, widen the entry a bit too (turning-in early is often a sign that you're braking too late) and try to keep that racing line straighter to widen the entry into the second corner.
Good job and let's get on to the next assignment!
Extra - The Honda NSX can be a tricky car to drive, but being a mid-engined car it can rotate very well into a corner. To maximize that potential, you'll need to improve your trail braking. We can see that you're already making efforts in some segments, but you're still releasing the pedal too quickly in most corners, almost like a switch. One consequence of that is often needing to delay the acceleration on the exit due to lack of grip or too much speed on the corner entry (example).
Really try to spend less time at 100% brakes and invest more on gradually releasing the pedal as you turn into a corner. It can feel particularly sketchy in a car like the NSX but when you master trail braking, you can use the car's engine placement and weight distribution to your advantage.
If you need to, also adjust the brake bias to help you carry the brakes into the corner. If you feel that you're getting too much understeer on the turn-in, increase the brake bias, otherwise you can lower it to help with rotation. As a reference, the brake bias on the NSX should be around 54%, sometimes it can be lower or higher depending on the track and setup.
----------------------
12/03/2025
You're doing a good job of combining all the skills you've learnt so far, well done! Try to work a bit more on your braking points and on your brake pressure. The speed on the brake pedal is looking very good, but you're sometimes missing the 100% brake pressure mark by a little and that's fundamental on the heavy braking zones. You also need to take into account the reverse situation where you're sometimes braking too hard for the faster corners and end up slowing down too much.
Other than that, very good job overall and keep on practising!
Extra - One thing that can help with improving your braking points is working on your trail braking. You're often releasing the brakes quite abruptly (example) and that can have a series of negative effects like instability on the corner entry, slowing down too much for a corner or carrying too much speed at the apex which will cost you time on the exit.
Maintaining braking smoothness is key in racing to keeping the car balanced and maximising grip. You should apply the brakes sharply at first, but then release them gradually. Begin easing off the brakes right as you start turning into the corner, and continue this slow release until you hit the apex.
This will surely help you brake later, be more consistent with the braking points and carry some more speed into corners.
---------------------
27/02/2025
It is a hard task to bring all these skills together at the same time. Keep up the work, it is worth persevering. By concentrating on the important of the braking point and power will make it possible to turn your attention more to the throttle. It is at this point that you'll see the biggest improvements in your times. The braking points and apex work suffered in this combination assessment. Concentrate on these two areas to move onto the next training plan.
Extra - You are giving up mid-corner speed by not taking a tight enough apex. Make sure to use every inch of track available on corner entry, apex and exit where the car is stable. Example
----------------------
13/02/2025
Good corner gear choices. It is often the case that people change down too far in a belief that it will be faster however, you nailed this. So you've reached a milestone - well done! Your next weeks training, will be assessed on how well you perform with all the plans that you have driven so far. You are currently doing really well and should find this straight forward, just strive to increase your consistency and push for slightly quicker lap times. Good luck!
Extra - Let's address your throttle timing. If you're hitting that gas pedal too late, you're missing out on optimal acceleration and forcing yourself to play catch-up. Aim to apply throttle promptly after braking to maintain a smooth and consistent pace. Don't leave it too late; find that balance for a smoother ride. Example

Your braking is looking good. There are places you could improve but in general you follow the power and speed of the reference driver well. Try to be a bit smoother on the pedal and avoid pumping the brake which can unsettle the car. Keep it up and look forward to reviewing your gearing next.
Extra - One key area to focus on is maintaining higher minimum speeds, which largely comes down to braking later and staying on the throttle longer through corners. This approach will help you reduce the gap in your corner exit performance. For example, a slight delay in braking can make a noticeable difference in carrying momentum through turns. Example

Okay, you are hitting most of your apex's. The smoother you can be with your racing line the more you can distribute grip to all four tyres. There are a few areas you can tweak over time on your entry and exit lines but you are starting to learn the clipping points mid-corner. Keep it up! You just need to apply this on every corner.
Extra - We've noticed that your trail braking can improve. In racing, being smooth is important to keep the car balanced and the grip levels high. While the first attack on the brakes is supposed to be very quick, releasing the brakes is a slow and smooth process. Try to start releasing the brakes at around the turn-in point and do it in a gradual motion until you reach the apex. Example

Very nice, your braking points are decent. If anything you do brake slightly early, but that is suited to your level of experience. As you develop we can push those further. There are a few areas we can work on over the coming weeks but you are already making progress. Â Braking is critical to set up the whole dynamic of a corner. If you don't get this right it is impossible to make up for it with other areas of driving. Next up is your first racing line technique, good luck and keep knocking out those laps! đȘ
Extra - The biggest thing you could work on is carrying minimum speed, mostly through braking later and not lifting off as much through corners. This is giving you a big delta in corner exits. Example

Great to have you onboard and hope you are ready to do some training! The process is super simple. Every two weeks you'll have an assigned task which your instructor will set based on our training schedule. Each task will be an important driving technique that you'll need to master in order to progress to the next discipline.
Having assessed and written hundreds of training plans, Track Titan instructors have analysed our drivers achievements and pitfalls and the results show that a consistent application of the driving techniques is crucial to progressing as a good, fast and safe driver. Therefore, every two weeks you'll be tested for consistency and quality of the chosen technique. If the instructor feels that more time on track is required to progress then no problem, hone your skills, dig deep and you'll soon pass to the next discipline.
We have assigned you a turnover day, the instructors will then assess your driving and provide your score for the assigned task and your progress. This will be vary, but is normally available within one to three days.
Please follow the advice in the assigned task and practice this race technique as much as you can in the next fortnight. Remember, referring back to the reference lap and in particular the telemetry data to see how you need to perform to perfect a skill will aid your progress and competence.
The Instructors will look through the sessions and laps you have completed over the last fourteen days. Priority will be given to hot lapping and time trial laps if available. We understand that with changing conditions (tyre wear, weather, fuel load etc.) the ability to perform consistently and with quality similar to the reference lap alters. This is taken into account with all our assessments. Needless to say, the more laps driven the better your training and practice will be and the better the understanding of your current abilities.
If you have a different motivational goal, please let us know and we'll change it from "Improve driving technique"
Enjoy the training, enjoy the journey.

Yours sincerely,
The Instructors
