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 -

You are braking too late, causing you to carry too much speed and overshoot the corner, significantly compromising your exit and costing you a considerable amount of time as a result. Try and adjust to an earlier braking point to allow you to make the corner without overshooting it, which will let you maintain a higher minimum speed through the corner and gain you more time overall. - Example

----------------------

27/07/2026
There's some work to do here. There were a few corners where you were on the throttle very early compared to the reference lap. This indicates that you are over-slowing the car on the way into the corner, so try experimenting with your braking again to ensure you are carrying enough speed into the corner. This should allow you to get on the throttle at the correct time.

Extra -

You are too slow getting back on full throttle on corner exits, causing your exit speed to be significantly slower than optimal and costing you a considerable amount of time. Try and get back on full throttle quicker so you can carry a higher exit speed out of the corner, gaining you more time overall with a quicker acceleration. - Example

There's some work to do here. There were a few corners where you were on the throttle very early compared to the reference lap. This indicates that you are over-slowing the car on the way into the corner, so try experimenting with your braking again to ensure you are carrying enough speed into the corner. This should allow you to get on the throttle at the correct time.

Extra -

There are too many times where you are accelerating and braking at the same time as you approach corners, which is costing you time rather than gaining you time. Make sure you are only using one pedal at a time to extract the most out of the car. Have a look at the previous accelerating plans to work on this, and try giving it another go, remembering what you learnt and the previous feedback! Best of luck. - Example

----------------------

25/06/2026
Unfortunately your throttle behaviour just isn't up to scratch. Try to put all the plans together into one learning. You seem to have forgotten some of the core basics of smooth but fast application and holding throttle though the high speed. Re-review each of these subsections in the training and isolate all the key parts for next time.

Extra -

In the two Lesmos, you are accelerating all the way through the corner, and it significantly compromises your exit and costs you a considerable amount of time, as you are too fast in the apex and you have to delay getting back on full throttle to avoid going off track (example). However, in heavy braking zones, you do not get back on the throttle at all quickly enough, compromising your exit speed, which also affects your speed for the whole straight (example). For the lesmos, be more patient before getting onto the throttle, so you can get onto full throttle rather than 25% throttle throughout the whole corner, giving you a higher exit speed. For the exit of the chicanes, try applying the throttle quicker, so you can carry a higher exit speed out of them and for the long straights, gaining you more time overall as a result.

----------------------

11/06/2026
There's some work to do here. There were a few corners where you were on the throttle very late compared to the reference lap. This indicates that you are entering too fast and running too deep, so try experimenting with your braking again to ensure you are the right speed into the corner. This should allow you to get on the throttle at the correct time.

Extra -

You are braking too late, causing you to run deep into the corner and compromise the second part of the chicane, giving you a slower exit speed and costing you time as a result of you not being able to get back on throttle quickly. Try braking earlier to avoid overshooting the corner, which will allow you to open the second part of the chicane better, which will let you get back on throttle earlier, gaining you more time overall. - Example

----------------------

Your last assessment was meant to be Racing Line - Bringing it All Together

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 -

You are applying the brake several times on corner exit, costing you a significant amount of time as a result as you are compromising both your exit speed and your speed down the straight as you are hindering your car's acceleration. Try make sure your foot is fully off the brake, and try lift off the throttle slightly if you are going too fast, rather than braking, that way you can maintain a higher minimum speed and gain more time overall. - Example

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 -

You are releasing the brakes too early, causing you to carry too much speed into the corner and run deep. You then apply full throttle despite a shallower line, causing you to have to brake again multiple times mid chicane, costing you time as a result. Try hold onto the brakes longer initially to avoid having to release and apply the brakes in the middle of the chicane, which will then gain you more time overall. - Example

----------------------

30/04/2026
You're almost there, but let's make a few adjustments before moving on. I’d like you to focus on your braking points and how you're applying the trailbrake. Make sure to hit the brakes only once in the key braking zones. Since we're bringing everything together in one assessment, give it another try and fine-tune these areas. You're very close – let's get this right before moving forward.

Extra -

You are still braking at full brake pressure in every corner, even into corners when you do not need full brake pressure, causing your speed to be significantly lower than optimal and costing you time. Trailbraking helps you slow the car down and rotate into the corner, but it also helps you maintain a higher minimum speed through a corner, which can gain you more time. Try have a look at the reference lap and practice trailbraking, and then we can move onto the next task. - Example

----------------------

16/04/2026
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 -

You are very nearly there. The only issue right now is that you are braking at full brake pressure in every corner, even into corners when you do not need full brake pressure, causing your speed to be significantly lower than optimal and costing you time. Trailbraking helps you slow the car down and rotate into the corner, but it also helps you maintain a higher minimum speed through a corner, which can gain you more time. Try have a look at the reference lap and practice trailbraking, and then we can move onto the next task. - Example

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 -

You are releasing the brakes and getting back on throttle too quickly, which causes you to carry too much speed through the corner, resulting in a secondary braking input required to avoid going off track, however, doing this costs you time. Have a look at the reference lap brake pattern compared to yours, and try work on trailing the brake for longer, so you can continue slowing the car down as you approach the apex, which will help avoid needed a secondary brake on the exit of the corner. - Example

----------------------

20/03/2026
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 -

Your next step is to focus on increasing cornering momentum, particularly by pushing your braking points closer to the turn and maintaining throttle input longer. This will directly improve your exit speeds and reduce lap time deficits. For example, a smoother transition from braking to throttle can help you maintain flow through the corner. Example

‍

----------------------

07/03/2026
A nice improvement on your braking technique, well done! Your telemetry shows better stability under braking, showing a better understanding of brake bias. There are still some things you can improve. Your braking points will affect the timing when trail braking and they go hand in hand, so try to make small adjustments to both during your practise sessions to see if you manage to improve your lap time.

Extra -

This is quite a long hairpin where the driver's patience is rewarded. You'll have to brake hard initially, but your braking point can be quite late if you manage to trail brake well while keeping the car stable and under control. To do that, try to avoid being on and off the brakes. The track is quite bumpy there, so being smooth and modulating the brake is essential to avoid losing traction!
Experiment a bit here and see how each change affects your delta. Your corner entry is quite good, but you can get on the power more efficiently and your trajectory at the entry and apex really affect how well you can accelerate on the exit.

----------------------

19/02/2026
Your telemetry shows that you might still need to adjust your brake bias a bit more. Often times you're holding the brakes at full pressure for longer than the reference lap without a lot of trail braking. Setting the brake bias a bit more towards the rear might feel unstable at the beginning, but it'll push you to trail brake more. Give it another try and tinker with it some more to see how it affects the car's handling.
Good luck!

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

----------------------

05/02/2026
Your turn in point was decent there was no drifting towards the corner apex before you fully commit to the turn in.  This turn in point determines the speed at which you enter a corner. Turning in too early or too late can result in either scrubbing off too much speed or carrying too much speed into the corner, making it difficult to maintain control of the vehicle. You handle this well and not surprisingly your corner segment times are generally good.

Extra -

You're carrying less speed through the turn by missing the optimal apex. Make a habit of exploiting every inch of tarmac on the way in, at the clipping point, and on the way out when traction and stability allow it. Example

‍

----------------------

22/01/2026
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 -

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

‍

----------------------

08/01/2026
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 overdriving—pushing 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 -

By running slightly wide of the ideal apex, you're giving up cornering speed. Commit to the classic outside-inside-outside line, using the entire track width on entry, apex, and exit in the stable portions of the corner. Example

‍

----------------------

25/12/2025
It is not uncommon for the third combination assessment to take a while. The main issues are that each segment has a couple of problems that need addressing. Racing line choice was often out and thus setting yourself up for a good exit was at times extremely hard. A lot of invalid laps as well is a sign that you are trying to push yourself just that little bit too much. It is better to drop your pace just a little to get yourself race ready. One exceptional hotlap is great but 20 laps of fast consistent lapping will win you more races. You'll also find that when you have that consistency you'll be able to adapt better from one segment to the next or even within a corner. You'll understand your car better and be able to make micro adjustments with a confidence that brings down your lap times. Train smart and good things will come.

Extra -

To gain an edge, work on holding higher speeds through corners by delaying braking and keeping the throttle engaged longer. This approach will minimize the delta on corner exits, giving you a stronger drive onto the straights. As an example, maintaining steady throttle pressure through the apex can lead to a noticeable boost in exit momentum. Example

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 - By not aiming for the sharpest possible apex, you're losing precious speed mid-corner. It's crucial to make use of every bit of track space available at the entry, apex, and exit points where your vehicle maintains stability. Example

‍

----------------------

27/11/2025
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 - Your next step is to focus on increasing cornering momentum, particularly by pushing your braking points closer to the turn and maintaining throttle input longer. This will directly improve your exit speeds and reduce lap time deficits. For example, a smoother transition from braking to throttle can help you maintain flow through the corner. Example

----------------------

06/11/2025
Your consistency of reaching 100% throttle as quickly as the reference lap was just about accepatble. You are getting the hang of a technique here that many drivers find hard. There is still room for a faster application so keep working on it. Go 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 - A key area for improvement is your trail braking approach. Ensuring smooth brake modulation helps maintain car balance and maximizes tire grip. Apply strong braking at first, then slowly reduce pressure as you steer into the corner, completing the release at the apex. As an example, start easing off the brakes right at turn-in to carry more controlled speed through the corner. Example

----------------------

24/10/2025
Delay getting on the throttle too early, this is causing you to understeer and in turn forcing you to lift off the throttle. Wait a little, then be quicker and smoother with the throttle pedal. Example

Extra - By not aiming for the sharpest possible apex, you're losing precious speed mid-corner. It's crucial to make use of every bit of track space available at the entry, apex, and exit points where your vehicle maintains stability. Example

----------------------

09/10/2025
You’ve got a noticeable pause when you crack the throttle—trim that delay. Once it’s past the lull the car pulls nicely, but that first hiccup needs sorting. Re-check your line through every corner to squeeze more rotation, and watch for any steering over-corrections. Drill these in your practice runs and review the lap data each time to sharpen your cornering.

Extra - The key issue we're seeing is that you're throttling down too soon instead of ramping up to full power. Adjust your racing line just a touch, getting closer to the apex, and you'll notice a real boost in performance. Example

----------------------

26/09/2025
There's a noticeable delay when you engage the accelerator; aim to reduce this lag time. Your acceleration post-delay is effective, yet the initial hesitation needs work. Critically assess your driving line for each turn, ensure the car's rotation is optimal, and check if your steering corrections are overly dramatic. Focus on these aspects intensely, and after every run, analyse the telemetry to pinpoint exactly where you can enhance your cornering technique.

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

----------------------

12/09/2025
When you hit the throttle, there's a clear lag that you should work on reducing. Once you get past that initial delay, your car accelerates well, but that first hesitation is something to address. Take a hard look at your racing line through each corner, making sure you're getting the best rotation from the car, and see if you're overcorrecting with the steering. Concentrate on these areas during practice, and after each lap, dive into the data to see where you can refine your cornering skills.

Extra - You get back on the throttle before you have properly apexed this turn. You can see the result of this is that you get pushed wide and understeer on exit. Try your best to wait until the car is rotated around the apex and you are starting to unwind the wheel before getting back on power. Example

----------------------

28/08/2025
Another hard assignment but use the information and the practice that you have been doing for the last few months and apply this on track. Be patient and then accelerate quickly. You need to be questioning whether your line was correct, if you rotated the car enough, is your wheel movement not too exaggerated. Work hard on these areas and refer back to the telemetry data after each session to find the flaws in your corners. You are often trying to get on the gas just that little bit too early.

Extra - Your throttle application is delaying your acceleration phase, impacting your straight-line speed. Maximise throttle input earlier to optimise top speed for the next straight. Focus on swift and seamless throttle control, utilising track space efficiently to maintain straight alignment for maximal power transfer and acceleration efficiency. Example

----------------------

14/08/2025
A 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 often accelerating too early in the corner, i.e. before the apex. You'll then need more time to reach full throttle on the exit to avoid going wide, costing you time. Be patient, try to avoid pressing the throttle too early in the corner (before the apex) and try to trail brake deeper into the corner to help you carry some speed on the entry while also slowing down for the apex. Example

----------------------

31/07/2025
Steering control requires a fine touch, as even the smallest changes to the wheel angle can influence your car’s performance in terms of speed and acceleration. Analyzing your telemetry data has clearly been a strength of yours, so build on that by tweaking your racing line to create smoother, more fluid movements. With time and dedication, you'll likely see significant progress. Keep pushing forward, we will try this one again!

Extra - By not aiming for the sharpest possible apex, you're losing precious speed mid-corner. It's crucial to make use of every bit of track space available at the entry, apex, and exit points where your vehicle maintains stability. Example

----------------------

17/07/2025
Decent 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%. I would like to see you be a bit smoother with this technique as you are still a bit inconsistent.
‍

Extra - Even though your apexes can be 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
