Conclusion

Good to see you back on track1  Your times are looking good. A couple of new mistakes are coming up which need to be looked at.

‍

Assigned Task

Getting your gearing right is technically easy so is a good one to concentrate on to bring your lap times down. Follow the 'Lear to improve' section and just like the braking points, remember the corner gear that is needed to maximise control and most importantly allowing you to maintain as quick as possible speed throughout the corner. Take this still and combine with beginning to trail braking will really help.

1st key mistake: Gear too low

Why it matters

There are many situations on track where it is better to run the car in a higher gear to gain full potential from the engine.

‍

How much of a problem it is for you

Gearing errors in general accounted for over 21% of your total errors.

‍

See an example in your own sessions

An example can be found in segment 2. If you check the gear number (inside the wheel graphic), you drop to first gear whilst the reference lap stays in 3rd.

‍

Learn to improve

Write down the corner names (or use T1 etc) and the lowest gear, found from the reference map.  Try to memorise and repeat on track. This will help to force out your bad habits.

2nd key mistake: Too late to full throttle

Why it matters

Remember that 100% throttle is were the speed comes from. The straights are so important, especially on a high speed circuit like Monza.

‍

How much of a problem it is for you

22% of all of your mistakes are due to getting to 100% too slowly. Similar to last week

‍

See an example in your own sessions

An example in segment 3, getting to full throttle will be quicker and can shave up to three tenths off your time.

‍

Learn to improve

There is no easy solutions here, controlled aggression and nailing your racing line will all help to push you to 100% throttle quicker. Try to get out the habit of on/off with the throttle, always look for a smooth motion. It is better to build this up and than to learn bad habits.

‍

‍

3rd key mistake: On the brakes for too long

Why it matters

When you start braking earlier and finishing braking later, there is a mistake to be looked at. Even though you didn't brake as hard, it still cost you time.

‍

How much of a problem it is for you

Also around 15% of your mistakes focused on braking for too long.

‍

See an example in your own sessions

Segment 2 is a good example which shows that you are at 100% braking for longer than the reference lap.  This results in slowing the car too much when not necessary

‍

Learn to improve

Trail braking is a great skill to start learning early on, it often is the optimal method for taking a corner and allowing you to reduce the amount of time that you are full throttle.  Check out this video to make sure you are doing it right.
