Goal
Improve around Imola
Conclusion
Approximately 70 laps achieved at Imola with good individual
session consistency. Bad weather in your final session looked
hard work! From an analysis stand, be mindful not to drag your
brake on corner exit. Also, dragging the throttle when braking
hard was seen in a number of corners
Assigned Task
Ensure for your next F1 track of choice that you run 3 separate
time trail sessions each of min 8 laps. After each session, drop
back into Track Titan and check the braking errors detailed
1st key mistake:
Braking too late
Why it matters
Do not brake too late as this will cause the car to lose traction
and you'll be struggling to get the throttle down soon enough.
Instead, brake early and smoothly so that the car can maintain
its speed and momentum. The old adage slow in fast out is
exactly what we need here
How much of a problem it is for you
You have a few mistakes and mainly related to braking
technique. Which grouped, account for over 50% of all mistakes
you make.
See an example in your own sessions
An example can be found in segment 9. It isn't your braking point here, more that to get to maximum stopping power took longer than the reference lap
Learn to improve
To have confidence in maximising your braking, it is important to tweak your tire pressure. Also, throughout a race, be aware of trying to maintain a healthy tire (avoiding locking up)
2nd key mistake:
Coming on / off the brake
Why it matters
Each corner requires a plan, to maximise the potential gains and
exit speed. Coming on and off the brakes, can be related to
indecision or very minor errors.
How much of a problem it is for you
10% of your errors are related to this mistake. Depending on the
corner this can greatly affect your lap times.

Segment 4 has the tell tail down up down of the brake pedal
Learn to improve
Before entering the corner, have the picture in your head of a goal of that corner. If you often can't put that picture into reality, look at reducing your speed a little until you can achieve the necessary smoothness.
3rd key mistake:
Unnecessary braking
Why it matters
Self explanatory, when you are performing unnecessary braking
you'll struggling to achieve your potential lap times.
How much of a problem it is for you
Part of your braking errors that make up the 50% of all your
errors in this week's analysis.
See an example in your own sessions
Check out the racing line speed chart with its focus zone, then flip to the braking chart and you'll see the unnecessary braking in segment 2 is the cause of you losing 0.35s on the segment.
Learn to improve
Comparing to the reference lap and searching for any inconsistencies against it will help bring your times down.
