Your last plan was meant to be Racing Line - Bringing it All Together
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 braking with too much pressure, causing your speed to drop significantly more than optimal and costing you a considerable amount of time as a result. Try braking with less pressure so you can carry more speed through the corner and gain more time overall due to maintaining a higher minimum speed. - Example
----------------------
25/04/2026 - 21/07/2026
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. 😁
----------------------
13/04/2026
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 aspect—entry, apex, and exit—is crucial for advancement. Focus especially on utilizing the track more effectively during entries and exits.
Extra - You are turning too late and too much, causing significant understeer and resulting in you missing the apex and the racing line entirely. Try turning in a bit earlier and a bit less to avoid inducing understeer. - Example
----------------------
30/03/2026
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 for too long, as you had to get off the brakes to roll more speed before reapplying the brakes. Try ease off the brake pressure a bit quicker, so you can carry more speed under braking and gain more time. - Example
----------------------
15/03/2026
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 - Currently, the mai 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
----------------------
27/02/2026
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 - 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
----------------------
13/02/2026
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 - 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
----------------------
30/01/2026
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 - Here you turn in too early. 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. Example
---------------------
17/01/2026
Please do more laps. You need between 30 to 50 to really see how you're doing. Our trainers are here to help whenever. Good luck and have fun out there!
----------------------
04/01/2026
You’ve got some braking issues here. The trick is really to lean on that brake pedal—push it right to the edge. As you get sharper, this is one of the easiest places to shave off a tenth or two. Braking’s a mix of muscle and finesse: hit the marker hard, then bleed off smoothly into the apex. Right now you’re a bit inconsistent on the pedal. Keep at it, you’ll tighten it up.
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
----------------------
19/12/2025
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.
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
----------------------
05/12/2025
Good job with you turn in points. No drifting towards the apex before you had fully committed. Your turn in point determines how much speed you take into the corner. If you turn in too early or too late, you'll lose time. Keep up the good work!
Extra - In general, you are braking too early and not using enough pressure. If you use more brake pressure, you can brake later and find a lot of time. Try to brake quickly, hold peak pressure and then lift off quickly. Currently you are pressing the brake multiple times in 1 braking zone. - example
----------------------
22/11/2025
We believe that you should have another go at this assignment. Right now, your main focus point should be using more track on the corner entry. That will help you find better turn-in points and have a better angle of attack into the corner, carrying more speed and having more grip through it.
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
----------------------
10/11/2025
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. 😁
----------------------
24/10/2025
Could you please drive more laps? We need about 30 to 50 to get a read of how you are doing, even if you are not driving as part of a specific plan. The instructors are here to help whenever you're ready. Good luck, and hope you have a good time on the track!
----------------------
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 - Try to be less erratic with the throttle, smaller motions will help. This is tricky but when you ease off the throttle, you often take the throttle to 20-30% pressure. Try to use smaller movements to avoid slowing the car too much. Example
----------------------
26/09/2025
The primary challenge lies in the fact that each segment presents several issues that need to be tackled. Often, the choice of racing line was suboptimal, making it tough to position yourself for a strong exit. Additionally, the high number of invalid laps indicates you might be pushing a bit too hard. It would be wiser to slightly reduce your speed to ensure race readiness. While having one outstanding hotlap is impressive, achieving 20 laps of fast, consistent driving is what will clinch more victories. This consistency will also enhance your adaptability from one segment to another, or even within a single corner. You'll gain a deeper understanding of your car, enabling you to make small, confident adjustments that will ultimately lower your lap times. Remember, smart training leads to great results.
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
----------------------
12/09/2025
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 - Right now, the most significant problem is releasing the throttle early rather than pushing it all the way to 100%. Make a minor change to your path by tightening up toward the apex, which should help immensely. Example
----------------------
29/08/2025
Could you please run more laps? We need about 30 to 50 to make sure we're getting it right. The instructors are here to help whenever you're ready. Good luck, and hope you have a good time on the track!
----------------------
18/08/2025
Please drive more laps. It isn't possible to get a fair and true reflection of this assessment without at least 30-50 laps being completed. The instructors are ready to help you when you are ready.
Good luck and have fun on track 💪
----------------------
02/08/2025
This is unfortunately still not a pass, but you're close! Most of the previously learnt skills were applied, but there are some key flaws that need to be addressed.
First, there are many segments where you need to use more track, mainly on the approach and corner entries, then there are also some braking zones where you're pumping the brakes and a bit on and off. Finally, the same can be said on your throttle inputs at the corner exit, there are a few segments where you're on and off the throttle and where you needed to lift off instead of keeping it at full throttle.
Work on these things a bit more and you'll surely pass! If you need to, feel free to read the respective assignments, their links are further down the page.
Good luck!
Extra - You can adjust your racing line slightly in this segment to gain more time. On the left-hander, you can aim for a wider exit and use more kerb there, that'll give you a straighter, faster exit from the whole segment and will enable you to use more track.

04/07/2025
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 - 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
----------------------
20/06/2025
Sorry for the delay on the update.
This is an irregular assessment but it does help to set a foundation of driving and analysing, please follow the criteria outlines below to advance to your next training plan.
Pass Criteria:
1. A minimum of 5 sessions on the same track;
2. Each session a minimum of 5 laps (a session with two or three laps is usually not enough to understand how the car behaves in the long term);
3. Analysis of at least 50 segments.
Extra - You're usually releasing the brakes very abruptly at the corner entry (example). This is then causing you to brake earlier and also accelerate earlier in the corner to compensate for that. Ensuring smooth brake modulation helps maintain car balance, control its rotation 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.
----------------------
06/06/2025
Your consistency of reaching 100% throttle as quickly as the reference lap was reasonably good. 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 - The goal is to make the corner as wide as possible to be able to carry more speed through it. To do that, you need to stay right on the edge of the track on the approach to the corner, stay wide until you reach a good turn-in point, then aim for the apex. On the exit the goal is usually the same: start accelerating near the apex and aim to go as wide as you can without going over the track limits. Don't be afraid to try to get on the kerbs, you can gain a lot of time by using them! Example
----------------------
24/05/2025
Another hard assignment but using 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 steering 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 - The delay between coming off the throttle and getting onto the brake is costing you time and time that is relatively simple to correct and visualise. Take a look at this segment and you'll see there is delay which is a very different profile to the reference lap. Work on this with quick pedal actions - example
----------------------
09/05/2025
You're close to passing, but there were just too many occasions where you're having a burst of acceleration before the apex, which delays your acceleration for the corner exit. Other than that, you were most of the times very effective on the throttle.
Try to avoid touching the throttle before the apex, that messes a bit with the car's weight balance which changes the way it behaves throughout the corner. Focus instead on trail braking well into the corner and slowing the car down properly for the apex. Trail braking goes hand in hand with this assignment, an adequate minimum speed at the apex transforms into very good timing and effectiveness on the throttle for the exit.
Keep up the good work and you'll surely pass!
Extra - Let's take a closer at segments 2 and 3 from the Algarve International Circuit, an interesting complex where elevation change has a lot of influence on how you need to approach these two closely connected segments.
First let's analyse segment 3, here the apex is at the top of a crest precisely at the point where the car will feel lighter so prepare to lose grip and maybe counter steer to keep the rear in place. Notice how you lifted a bit off the throttle here whereas the reference lap kept it at full throttle. Hopefully after today, you'll be able to do that too.
To achieve that, the preparation starts during segment 2. A later entry into the hairpin will allow you to take a tighter corner exit. Going as wide as you did on the exit won't give you enough time to open up your line for segment 3, so delay your acceleration a little bit and try to exit more towards the middle of the track.
Next, aim for the kerb on the right, you probably won't need to touch it, but try to open up the corner as much as you can. You can also use a white line on the track as reference for the turn-in point. By opening up the corner like that, you should be able to stay flat out at the apex but be ready to catch the rear in case it steps out a bit.
It can take some time to get the turn-in and direction change right before the corner, but with enough practice you'll be able to make it through without lifting. If during the race you need to play it safe, a small lift will hurt your lap time a little, but you'll feel safer.
----------------------
25/04/2025
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 - 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
----------------------
08/11/2024 - 11/04/2025
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. 😁
----------------------
26/10/2024
Controlling the steering can be a subtle skill. Just a small adjustment to the wheel angle can make a difference to your acceleration and the speed of the car. It is important to jump into the telemetry as you have done with great success. Adjust your racing line slightly to smooth this wheel movement. Good luck and you'll hopefully see improvements on this with plenty of practice.
Extra - The goal is to make the corner as wide as possible to be able to carry more speed through it. To do that, you need to stay right on the edge of the track on the approach to the corner, stay wide until you reach a good turn-in point, then aim for the apex. On the exit the goal is usually the same: start accelerating near the apex and aim to go as wide as you can without going over the track limits. Don't be afraid to try to get on the kerbs, you can gain a lot of time by using them! Example
----------------------
11/10/2024
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.
Please can you make sure you are on the latest logger via this link: https://intercom.help/track-titan/en/articles/7964105-how-do-i-update-my-track-titan-logger
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
----------------------
27/09/2024
Please drive more laps. It isn't possible to get a fair and true reflection of this assessment without at least 30-50 laps being completed. The instructors are ready to help you when you are ready. Good luck and have fun on track. Please can you also make sure you are on the latest logger via this link: https://intercom.help/track-titan/en/articles/7964105-how-do-i-update-my-track-titan-logger
----------------------
16/09/2024
We think you should have another try at this assignment. You need to spend more time releasing the brakes on the corner entry. Usually you want to aim at beginning to release the brakes around the turn-in point and extend this movement until you reach the apex.
Smoothness is the key here and smooth = fast! Really focus on the brakes when you're driving in practice and try to be aware of what you're doing, then compare it to the reference lap and see how you need to adjust from there. The aim here is for this movement to become muscle memory and for you to also understand how the way you brake can affect the way the car turns.This is a perfect example of where that smoothness is important. The reference lap has controlled throttle and brake inputs that keep the car balanced, the grip levels high and avoid putting a lot of stress in the tyres, which will also help with tyre wear and temperature in longer races.
Extra - You had very good intentions by trying this double apex, but had a couple of issues through it:
- The first apex needed to be a bit earlier, with a tighter entry. This way you can carry more speed into the corner and have more weight on the front wheels to rotate the car. The goal is to brake later, past the first apex and use the braking to rotate the car;
- Due to the late first apex, you ended up going wide and having to rotate the car too late in the corner. This lowers you exit speed and you lose the benefit of the double apex corner.
Try to practice this in a few different tracks to see how you can manage. Try to enter the corner with different lines and braking points and see how that affects the mid-corner and exit phases.
----------------------
30/08/2024
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 solid progress, but now it's time to fine-tune your braking technique. While caution is understandable, braking too late can compromise your control and cornering precision. To enhance your performance, focus on finding the braking points that allow you to maintain control while still achieving optimal deceleration. Gradually brake earlier to ensure you're not sacrificing too much speed or risking overshooting the corner. With practice, you'll find the perfect balance and see significant improvements in your lap times. Keep refining your technique—you’re on the right track! Example
----------------------
17/08/2024
You are just not understanding the concept. You are releasing the brake almost instantly. Look at what the reference driver is doing. We want to see a defined smooth release of the brake pedal to enable you to transfer the tyre loads most efficiently.
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
----------------------
02/08/2024
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.
Please can you make sure you are on the latest logger via this link: https://intercom.help/track-titan/en/articles/7964105-how-do-i-update-my-track-titan-logger
Extra - Try to avoid lifting off on the second part of the Ascari chicane. You will see the reference driver is able to stay flat onto the back straight. You should aspire to do the same to keep up momentum. Example
----------------------
20/07/2024
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 - You are losing time into the braking zones. Most of this is because you are braking a bit early but also coming off the pedal and then coming back on in the same braking zone. Try to do it all in one clear motion. Example
----------------------
05/07/2024
Please do more laps. You need between 30 to 50 to really see how you're doing. Our trainers are here to help whenever. Good luck and have fun out there!
Extra - In this section you are lifting off a lot more than the reference as well as braking a lot harder. Try to carry a little more speed and move away from large swings in inputs. Example
----------------------
22/06/2024
Please do more laps. You need between 30 to 50 to really see how you're doing. Ideally some longer sesions to prove your laps are your best efforts. Our trainers are here to help whenever. Good luck and have fun out there!
Extra - In this corner you simpley brake too late. Try to be a bit earlier on the brakes and pick a new braking reference point. Smaller tracks and more laps will help you build consistency. Example
----------------------
10/05/2024 - 07/06/2024
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. 😁
----------------------
26/04/2024
Nicely done, you show that consistency is there. Work on this more with more longer sessions of 20+ laps on shorter circuits as ones concentration sometimes affects ones consistency in these longer sessions. This skill is important as you work towards your second Combination Assessment.
Extra - Sometimes you are quite conservative on entries. This may be as you are closing in on a good lap at the long nurburgring but if you were looking for time, that's where to look first. Example
----------------------
12/04/2024
Your racing lines are starting to look like you are understanding. 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 still a few corners where you are entering too tight and exiting too narrow, which costs you minimum speed. It's just about a pass but lets keep working on this as you go into the next challenge - Consistency.
Extra - Try to hang left after the first apex of this complex because it can open up the second part and give you a better exit and overall time. Example
----------------------
29/03/2024
The lines are good (there is still room to get tighter though) and your braking points are good. Your mid chicane acceleration is ok, in some chicanes you'll be able to get a bit more out of this section, use that short period to get a short burst of speed but remember the final exit is all important. Try not to come completely off the throttle when not necessary, sometimes you'll be able to just release the throttle 30-50% instead. Also, remember it is your exit speed that is of the most importance, concentrate on this.

Extra - You lift off for some corners early when you could keep the throttle in untill you hit the brakes. This reduces the time you spend away from the limit. Example

Please drive a track like Zolder so we can analyse your driving in a multitude of different corner/chicane types. Great driving otherwise. Once we tick this box we will be onto the next one in no time.
Extra - You are often late getting back on the throttle. Try to be more confident and look to the reference driver as an example.

Nice driving. Before I pass you on this technique I would like to see you drive a track with multiple chicane types. COTA has high speed essess but no tight chicanes. Try a circuit like Zolder for a good test. You show good racing technique but we can still work on some of your lines and braking techniques. Keep it up!
Extra -
You lose most of your time under braking. Try braking a little later in most corners. Try to do this gradually as to not overshoot your mark. Example
----------------------

Nicely driven you improved in these 4 key areas over the last few weeks. There will always to improvements and adjustments that you can make. At the moment you are braking well. Great gear choices. Learning really comes from driving, analysing and then driving again until you feel you've reached a wall then analysing again. This habit will really help you improve as quickly as possible.
Extra - Your main weakness is the driving line. You still are not using all of the track and transitioning along the largest possible radius. Sometimes you miss the apex too. Example
----------------------
04/02/2024
Your gear choices are fairly good. One tip for the Red Bull Ring, pay attention to the reference lap. On this track in particular it may be beneficial to short shift out of some of the corners, particularly the hairpins. You hold some of the gears a little too long which might reduce your traction. Review shift timing on the telemetry to try to squeeze every little bit of time out of it.
Extra - Try to carry more speed into corners like this. You make up some time at the minimum speed but you give up way too much on entry. Try to compromise a little here - example

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. 😁

Thanks for you patience in us getting this latest assessment to you. We have now caught up with the backlog from the Christmas holiday break and are looking forward to providing you more tips and feedback on your driving. We'll be starting to experiment with a few new training features for our users over the coming months. With the aim to pinpoint and tackle areas that are causing your issues with a higher degree of accuracy and clarify.
Please drive more laps. It isn't possible to get a fair and true reflection of this assessment without at least 30-50 laps being completed. The instructors are ready to help you when you are ready.
Good luck and have fun on track 💪

Very nice, be careful how much pressure you apply on fast sweeping corners, it is important not to lose too much speed by braking too heavily, generally you are OK at this but a couple of mistakes were visible. Occasionally you were applying the brakes when not needed. A quick check back at the reference lap will really help find these little wins.
Next up is your first acceleration technique, good luck and keep knocking out those laps! 💪
Extra - You are fast and have great potential as there are opportunities shown in your telemetry that can easily help reduce your times - use the width more on entry which will create a less aggressive curve and help you maintain a faster minimum corner speed - example
----------------------

Fantastic racing line and you are hitting nearly all of your apexes. Great job using the whole width of the track. Practice trying to take a slightly later apex and see how this affects your deltas. Also have in the back of your mind the angle / direction of the car as you take the apex. The more it is facing in the direction of the coming straight the quicker you'll be able to effectively get on the throttle.
Your throttle engagement should generally be within two car lengths of your apex.
Extra - Test delaying the throttle and this will allow you to get to 100% throttle quicker, as you won't be fighting understeer as much - example
----------------------

Very nice, your braking points are sharp and spot on most of the time. Important! Be careful how much pressure you apply on fast sweeping corners, it is important not to lose too much speed by braking too heavily.
Next up is your first racing line technique, good luck and keep knocking out those laps! 💪
Extra - Good braking points but you chose the wrong gear in this segment, check out the Diff to Ref as you try to get on the throttle too early which is creating understeer, better to get on the gas a little later - 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, on this day you'll be able to see your feedback from the instructors (it could be the next day aswell), your score for the assigned task and your progress.
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
