Let's take a look at your laps at Paul Ricard - 1a in the Ferrari 296 GT3 (ELMS)

Bonus Focus Point

At Paul Ricard – Layout 1A, the Ferrari 296 GT3 (ELMS) is all about braking discipline, hybrid‑assisted traction, and keeping the platform settled through the circuit’s long, flowing arcs. T1–T2 needs a clean brake release and early rotation so the front bites without dragging the rear. Through Beausset, the 296 rewards one committed steering input and progressive throttle — let the aero and hybrid torque work together rather than forcing rotation. The car stays happiest when you keep your hands calm and let the chassis breathe through the long‑radius corners.

The final sector is precision. Double Droite du Bosset demands patience on entry and a tidy exit to keep the rear planted. Into Lac, brake straight, rotate early, and use the hybrid punch to fire out cleanly. When you stay smooth on entry and blend aero grip with hybrid traction, Paul Ricard 1A becomes a fast, repeatable lap where the 296 GT3 feels planted, sharp, and incredibly stable.

You are releasing the brakes slightly in the middle of the braking zone, causing you to carry a bit more speed in the end and slightly overshoot the corner, costing you a considerable amount of time as a result. Try and hold onto the same brake pressure until you are turning into the corner, instead of releasing it during the peak of the braking zone, allowing you to avoid running wide and gaining you more time overall due to maintaining a higher minimum speed. - Example

Let's take a look at your laps at Daytona Road Course in the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo

Extra -

At Daytona Road Course, the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO is all about stable braking, front‑end precision, and keeping the platform calm through the infield‑to‑oval transitions. Turn 1 needs a firm, straight‑line brake hit and a smooth release so the front bites cleanly, and the International Horseshoe rewards early rotation and patient throttle to keep the rear planted. Through the Kink and West Horseshoe, stay tidy and progressive — the R8 responds best when you avoid loading the rear too abruptly.

The run onto the NASCAR banking is all exit discipline: get the car pointed early, build throttle smoothly, and let the aero settle the platform. On the banking, keep your hands calm, then brake straight for the final chicane, rotate early, and fire the car out cleanly. When you stay smooth on entry and trust the Audi’s front‑end grip, Daytona becomes a fast, flowing lap where the R8 GT3 EVO feels planted, predictable, and repeatable.

You are too slow getting back on 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 the throttle quicker so you can carry a higher exit speed out of the corner, gaining you more time overall with a quicker acceleration. - Example

Let's take a look at your laps at Spa in the Ferrari 296 GT3

Extra - At Spa‑Francorchamps, the Ferrari 296 GT3 becomes all about braking discipline, hybrid‑assisted traction, and keeping the platform settled through Spa’s long, high‑load corners. La Source needs a firm brake hit and a smooth release so the front bites before you lean on the hybrid torque for the downhill drive. Through Eau Rouge–Raidillon, the 296 rewards calm, committed inputs — one clean turn‑in, no mid‑corner corrections, and let the aero keep the car planted.

The middle sector is rhythm. Les Combes and Malmedy need tidy entries and patient throttle so the rear stays calm. Bruxelles and No Name reward early rotation without forcing the front. Pouhon is where the Ferrari shines: one smooth steering input, progressive load, and let the hybrid torque help you carry speed on exit.

You are getting back on throttle a bit late, causing your exit speed to be lower than optimal and costing you a lot of time as a result of this. The slower exit speed is also carried for the entire straight. By getting back on throttle a bit quicker, you can accelerate quicker out of the corner, and carry a higher top speed by the end of the straight, gaining you more time overall. - Example

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

25/06/2026
Let's take a look at your laps at Monza in the Ginetta G61-LT-P325 EVO

Extra - At Monza, the Ginetta G61‑LT‑P325 EVO becomes all about braking discipline, straight‑line efficiency, and carrying momentum through the few corners that actually matter. Into Turn 1, the car rewards a firm, stable brake hit and an early, tidy rotation — over‑attack here ruins the entire run to Curva Grande. Through Turn 3, keep your hands calm and let the car breathe; the Ginetta’s lightweight chassis loves a smooth arc rather than forced rotation.

The Lesmos are where the lap is made. Lesmo 1 needs patience on entry and a clean exit, while Lesmo 2 is all about committing early and driving the car out without sliding the rear. The run to Ascari demands precision: brake straight, rotate early, and keep the platform settled so you can fire out onto the long straight. Parabolica is pure discipline — one smooth turn‑in, progressive throttle, and trust the downforce to carry you. When you stay tidy on entry and maximise every exit, Monza becomes a fast, efficient lap where the G61‑LT‑P325 EVO feels sharp, stable, and consistently repeatable.

You are too slow coming back on throttle when exiting the corner, costing you a lot of time as a result of your exit speed is significantly lower than optimal as you leave the corner. Try get on the throttle quicker so you can accelerate out of the corner faster, letting you carry a higher exit speed and gain more time overall. - Example

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

Let's take a look at your lap at Interlagos in the BMW M4 LMGT3

Extra - At Interlagos, the BMW M4 LMGT3 is all about braking stability, early rotation, and managing weight transfer through the circuit’s constant elevation changes. Into Turn 1 (Senna S), the M4 rewards a firm, confident brake hit followed by a clean release so the front can bite as the track drops away. The transition into Turn 2 is all patience — keep the platform settled, avoid early throttle, and let the car rotate naturally before driving it down the hill. Through Curva do Sol, smooth hands and a progressive throttle build keep the rear planted for the long run to Reta Oposta.

Across the lap, Interlagos rewards calm inputs and exit‑focused driving. Ferradura and Laranjinha demand trust in the front end; any abrupt steering unsettles the M4’s weight and costs momentum. The slower Pinheirinho and Bico de Pato lean more on mechanical grip — rotate early, stay tidy, and avoid over‑driving the rear. The final climb from Juncão to the line is everything: get the car pointed early, build throttle smoothly, and let the BMW’s stability carry speed up the hill. When you keep the weight settled, manage rotation with discipline, and stay patient on exits, Interlagos becomes a flowing, efficient lap where the M4 LMGT3 feels planted and repeatable.

You are braking too early, causing you to release and reapply the brakes several times mid-braking zone to try carry more speed, which ends up costing you a considerable amount of time rather than gaining you time. Try braking at a later point so you can carry more speed under braking, which will prevent you needing to release the brakes until you need to when turning into the apex, which will gain you more time overall as a result. - Example

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

28/05/2026
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. You are basically through all the key training plans. Next week instead of a specific plan we will look back in detail and focus on key driving areas with a specific car and track.

Extra - You are carrying too much speed exiting turn 1, causing you to be on a more shallow entry for the next corner, costing you time as your line is compromised and you are unable to carry the same speed, and you have to delay getting back on full throttle. Try carry less speed on the exit of turn 1, so you can position more towards the middle of the track, in order to get a better run into the next corner, maintaining a higher minimum speed, and gaining more time overall. - Example

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

13/05/2026
Some more work is needed here before we pass this assignment. There are some mistakes during throttle application that need to be fixed. Have a look at the advice bellow and give this assignment another go. Good luck and have fun!

Extra - You aren't aggressive enough when getting back on power. Have a look at this linked segment (example) and see how the reference lap quickly applies the throttle, while you apply slowly and carefully. This costs you time under acceleration and down the straights. A bit of work here and you'll see several tenths come off your lap times 💪 - example

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

30/04/2026
There’s some fine-tuning to do here. In a few corners, you’re dropping off the throttle too early on exit, which hints that you might be over-braking or not carrying enough momentum through the turn. Work on maintaining a smoother flow by adjusting your braking points and ensuring you're rolling more speed into the corner. This will help you stay on the throttle consistently and make the most of your exit without backing off prematurely.

Extra - You are releasing the throttle completely on the exit, causing your speed to drop significantly and cost you a considerable amount of time. In the final corner, you are coming on throttle too quickly, causing you to have to release it again before applying it again. Have a look at this segment, avoid coming completely off throttle on corner exits, and for the final corner, try be more patient before getting on throttle to avoid having to get off and on it again mid corner. - Example

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

16/04/2026
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 - You sometimes exi the corner towards the middle of the inside of the track, instead of using the full track width on the outside, costing you significant time. Try get on throttle earlier to carry more speed on the exit, so the car can naturally run towards the edge of the track, gaining you more time with the extra speed. - Example

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

02/04/2026
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 - Be careful with applying too much brake pressure in some of the fast speed corners. In the final corner at Circuit De Barcelona, you applied too much pressure on the brakes, which hurt your exit speed not only for the final corner, but the whole straight until you get to Turn 1 again, costing you significant time. Try and apply less brake pressure to maintain a higher minimum speed and gain more time. - Example

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

18/03/2026
Hi, apologies for the delay. Some more work is needed here before we move on. There are a few areas that need improvement, have a look at the advice bellow and give this assignment another go.

Extra - Your brake shape is quite square at the moment, from 0 to 100% super quickly (this is good), holding peak preassure, but then it's in instant lift from 100% back to 0% braking. This can upset the cars balance and isn't optimal for weight distrubustion. Work on trail braking more into corners to keep the weight on the front wheels of the car. - example

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

04/03/2026
Hi, apologies for the delay. Your lift off the accelerator is really good, there is no overlap with the brake and there isn't a big gap between the lift of the throttle and application of the brake. Well done. We'll move onto the next skill now. Good luck and have fun!

Extra - Currently, there is no trail braking into corners. This is really important to finding time as it allows you to take more speed into corners. Trail braking helps to keep the weight on the front of the car through corners which gives the tyres a little more grip. Have a go a trail braking into corners and see how you get on. - example

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

19/02/2026
The steering is coming off too quickly in several corners, which means you're straightening the car before you've fully exited the turn. Hold a bit more patience.

Extra - Try not to lift off way before you brake, this lag time is time you could still be accelerating, instead you are coasting. Unless you are saving fuel for a race stint there is no real benefit to this strategy - certainly not in lap time. Example

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

04/02/2026
To refine your vehicle control, focus on smooth steering transitions when exiting a turn. Instead of forcing the wheel back into position, allow it to naturally return to neutral. This process, known as unwinding, involves gently easing your grip and letting the wheel slip through your hands in a controlled way. To perfect this, practice with your hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, ensuring that the wheel self-corrects with minimal effort as the car straightens. By doing so, you'll not only improve handling but also promote even tire wear. Precision in your steering inputs is key to mastering this skill, which is essential for acing both this and future assessments.

Extra - Brake harder and faster even on the fast corners, try a quick dab instead of your currently longer ease on and off, test these two styles. Example

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

21/01/2026
When exiting a turn, it's crucial to allow the steering wheel to return to its neutral position naturally, rather than forcing it. This technique, known as unwinding, should be done by easing your grip and letting the wheel slide through your hands in a controlled manner. You are still not quite there. To correct this, practice smooth hand movements at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, ensuring that as the car straightens, the wheel corrects itself with minimal resistance. This will enhance vehicle control and promote even tire wear. Remember, precision in steering inputs leads to better overall vehicle handling. Mastery of this skill will be essential for passing this and future assessments.

Extra - Avoid hitting the brake pedal multiple times in one braking zone. Ideally you want to hit it firmly to begin with and then ease off as things slow down. Hitting it more than once suggests you broke too early. Example

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

07/01/2026
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. 😁

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

24/12/2025
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 - 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

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

11/12/2025
Your turn in point was extremely good, 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 very well and not surprisingly your corner segment times are generally very good.

Extra - Avoid hitting the brake pedal multiple times in one braking zone. Ideally you want to hit it firmly to begin with and then ease off as things slow down. Hitting it more than once suggests you broke too early. Example

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

26/11/2025
Decent 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 - One area to target is improving your minimum speed in corners, which relies heavily on braking later and staying committed to the throttle through the turn. This will tighten the gap in your corner exit performance. For instance, experimenting with a slightly later braking zone can unlock more consistent speed retention. Example
