Let's take a look at your laps at Okayama International Circuit in the BMW M2 CS Racing

Extra -

At Okayama International Circuit, the BMW M2 CS Racing is all about braking discipline, early rotation, and keeping the car balanced through the tight, technical flow. Turn 1 needs a firm brake hit and a smooth release so the front bites without pushing wide. Through Williams, keep your hands calm and let the car arc naturally — the M2 rewards momentum, not aggression.

The middle sector is rhythm. Atwood demands patience on entry and a clean exit to maximise the long straight. Piper and Redman punish over‑driving; rotate early, stay tidy, and avoid loading the rear too abruptly. The final sector is stability — commit through Hobbs, stay neat into Mike Knight, and drive cleanly out of the last corner. When you stay smooth and manage weight transfer, Okayama becomes a flowing, repeatable lap where the M2 CS feels planted and predictable.

You are steering too late into the first corner, costing you about a tenth in comparison to the optimal lap. By turning in a bit earlier, you can save more time by taking a slightly tighter line into the corner, and due to how wide the track is on the exit, you will be able to naturally drift out wide, carrying more speed, and gain more time overall. - Example

You are too slow getting back on the throttle on exits, costing you a bit of time as your exit speed was lower than optimal, which also affects your run onto the straight. Try and get back on the throttle earlier so you can carry a higher exit speed, gaining you more time overall as a result, and giving you a better approach into the following straight. - Example

Lets look at some laps in the BMW M2 CS Racing at Suzuka GP

‍

‍

Extra -

To be fast in the BMW M2 CS Racing at Suzuka GP, focus on carrying smooth, consistent speed through the high-speed corners rather than attacking every braking zone. Prioritize a clean exit from Turn 2, the Hairpin, and Spoon Curve to maximize speed onto the long straights. Be patient through the Esses with minimal steering inputs, brake in a straight line, and avoid aggressive throttle application that can unsettle the rear. Maintaining momentum and hitting the correct racing line is worth more than late braking, especially through Suzuka's flowing first sector.

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

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

‍

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

16/06/2026
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 -

You had a small delay with getting back on full throttle, which causes your exit speed to be slightly lower than the reference lap, costing you a bit of time as a result, not only on the exit, but for the remainder of the straight. Try get back to full throttle a bit quicker to carry more speed as you exit the corner, gaining you more time overall. - Example

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

03/06/2026
You have exhibited exceptional 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 are putting in a lot of steering lock, which is inducing understeer and costing you time. Try applying less steering lock so you can avoid scrubbing the tyres against the track, and allow the car to respond better into the corner, gaining you more time overall. - Example

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

20/05/2026
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 -

You are not braking hard enough, which is causing you to have to brake a bit earlier and hold the brakes a bit longer to slow the car down for the corner. Try apply more brake pressure so you can slow the car more efficiently, allowing you to brake a bit later to carry more speed under braking, but also to slow down the speed for the corner with a harsher brake pressure. - Example

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

07/05/2026
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 -

You are braking too late, causing you to carry too much speed and overshoot the corner, and miss the apex, costing you time as a result. Try braking at an earlier point to avoid overshooting the corner, allowing you to make the apex and maintain a higher minimum speed, gaining you time overall. - Example

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

20/04/2026
You're really nailing your braking technique! It's great to see how well you're using the brakes, not just in terms of when to brake but also how you're applying them. This kind of skill helps a lot with keeping the car stable and hitting the perfect lines through corners. Your understanding and use of brake bias is spot on, enhancing your control and performance on the track. Keep it up! Your attention to detail with braking is making a big difference.

Extra -

When there are two corners close together, you are prioritising the exit on the first part instead of the second part. You end up taking a much shallower line on the inside of the next corner as a result. Try and position towards the middle of the track to open the corner up better, so you can brake a bit later and carry a higher minimum speed through the corner, as your line is not as compromised. - Example

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

06/04/2026
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 -

In the second Degner turn at Suzuka, you braked slightly too late, causing you to carry too much speed into the corner, and compromising your exit as your speed was lower than optimal. Try adjusting to a slightly earlier braking point to avoid overshooting the corner, which will allow you to maintain a higher minimum speed through the corner and gain more time overall. - Example

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

25/03/2026
Really well done with this assignment. You've shown a good understanding of the skills you learnt over the past couple weeks. We'll move onto the next skill now. Good luck and have fun!

Extra -

You aren't using enough brake pressure right now which means you have to brake earlier. This is costing you 0.3-0.4s a lap. If you use more brake pressure you can brake later. When braking you want to press the brake quickly, then hold at peak pressure (pressure changes depending on the corner), then release quickly. Don't forget to compare with the reference lap to see what you're doing differently. - example

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

10/03/2026
Really sorry for the delay on the update.
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 -

You can gain time in this segment with a simple change on your racing line. You have to take the long straight after the segment into account. By choosing a wider line after the long left-hand corner, you'll momentarily gain time, but will end up having a worse entry into the following right hander. Because of that, you have to lift off the throttle more, reducing corner speed, exit speed and eventually top speed on the straight.
Be a bit more patient on the left-hand corner and get the widest possible entry into the right-hander for an overall better lap time.

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

23/02/2026
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 -

To elevate your lap times, prioritize sustaining higher speeds through corners. This means braking later and easing off the throttle less during turns. These adjustments will shrink the time lost on corner exits. As an example, a more aggressive throttle application mid-corner can help you carry more speed onto the straights. Example

‍

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

10/02/2026
Good job with your steering inputs they're looking good; Maximising the tyres grip without pushing too far. We'll move onto the next assignment now. Remember to check back with the reference lap. Good luck and have fun!

Extra -

Make sure you're not shifting up too early. Sometimes you would shift up a gear before the revs were high enough and lose time. - example

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

26/01/2026
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 -

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

‍

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

12/01/2026
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 -

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

‍

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

29/12/2025
This is a pass and quite a good one. Sometimes you really hit the throttle perfectly. 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.

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

‍

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

15/12/2025
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.

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

01/12/2025
There are some good times, however also too many invalid laps. I appreciate that this is inevitable when training but it is worth really focusing on this technique as nailing lap after lap without invalid laps is critical in a race situation. It can be the difference between a drive through or not. Slow you driving down a little and really concentrate on the consistency with valid laps. A racing drivers main skill has to be able to achieve similar lap times lap after lap. Drop your speed 10% and achieve these valid laps to move on with your training.
We're aiming for at least 10 consecutive valid laps with lap times within 1 to 1.5 seconds of each other. Good luck!

Extra -

You're trail braking well into the corners, but you can still improve your technique a bit more (example). Try to carry just a little more brake pressure to the apex, that'll allow you to slow down more effectively, accelerate earlier and be faster out of the corner. This is really some fine tuning, but it can make a large difference.

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

20/11/2025
Your racing lines are looking really good now. On most corners, you're doing a great job of using all the track on corner entry and exit. However, there are still a few corners where you aren't maximising the track usage on entry. This means your minimum speed will be lower, costing you time. Let's keep working on this as you go into the next challenge!

Extra - There a few corners where you are losing time. Mainly in double apex turns. This is because you are braking too much and for too long, which means you are going slower into the corner. You make up some of the time on corner exit, however you lose time through the corner overall. - example

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

04/11/2025
You've got a solid foundation with your lines, though fine-tuning you could make them even sharper. Braking is on point, but there's potential in the chicanes for better acceleration. Aim for quick spurts of speed where you can, keeping in mind that how you exit these sections defines your success. When possible, consider only partially lifting off the throttle instead of fully disengaging, perhaps by 30-50%. Above all, focus on your exit speed, as it's the key to better lap times.

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

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

15/10/2025
Chicanes are one of the easiest places to lose—or gain—serious lap time. The difference often comes down to how early you brake, how confidently you commit to the first kerb, and how cleanly you get back on the throttle through the middle section. Many drivers either brake too late and compromise their line, or hesitate on the throttle mid-chicane and give away speed on the exit. Try and master it before we move on.

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

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

29/09/2025
A good combination assessment. There were many good laps exhibited, and the majority of the racing skills learned have been displayed across multiple segments. There are some areas where improvements are needed, which will lower your lap times. Firstly, work on refining your cornering techniques. Mastering this will significantly benefit your overall performance. Secondly, there are several instances where your gear choice could be improved. Learning truly comes from driving, analysing, and then driving again until you feel you've reached a plateau, then analysing again. This habit will really help you improve as quickly as possible

Extra - Your car's speed through the corner suffers because you're not hugging the apex closely. Remember to leverage the full width of the track right from the entry, through the apex, and as you exit, particularly where your car feels stable. Example

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

15/09/2025
Fantastic racing line and you are hitting nearly all of your apex's. Great job using the whole width of the track. 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 slowly tweak over time on your entry and exit lines but you are nailing the clipping points mid-corner. Keep it up!

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

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

03/09/2025
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.

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 - Biggest issue at the moment is that you are often dropping off the throttle instead of pushing through to 100% throttle, try adjusting your racing line slightly, a little tighter to the apex will really help. Example

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

05/08/2025
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.  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! 💪

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

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. We require 30-50 laps in this period to give you a good assessment of your driving. 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.

Good luck and have fun on track 💪

Yours sincerely,
The Instructors
