Annotated lap walkthrough

"T5 — you're braking ~5 m early; trail-brake to the apex instead of releasing pre-turn. Lines through high speed corners are clean — keep that. T13 exit, you're rolling off throttle too long; pick it up half a beat sooner."

"These two half-hour lessons are BY FAR the best money I spent in iRacing ever — I learned more than I ever did in all my time on the service. He made me shave actual seconds off, and now I go deeper into corners than I ever believed possible."

"Before my first session I had 2000 iRating and lacked pace. 6 months later I reached 5000."

"The racecraft sessions set Marian apart. Putting yourself in those situations in a safe setting gave me the mental switch to position the car and get the move done the very next lap."

Common questions

Anything you're wondering?

  • Will this work for ACC, Le Mans Ultimate or AMS2 — not just iRacing?

    Yes. Lap reviews work off any YouTube link or replay file, and the coaching is technique-led (braking, lines, vision, racecraft) — it's sim-agnostic. The community races section runs mostly on iRacing, but Academy coaching applies to whichever sim you race.

  • Is this for beginners or for top splits?

    Both. The Sim Racer Starting Line course covers fundamentals (trail braking, vision, throttle modulation). Lap reviews and Ask A Coach scale to wherever you are — top-split drivers use them to chase the last 0.2s, newer drivers use them to fix the obvious time loss first.

  • Is it really free to start?

    Yes — create a free account and you're in. You get the free starter course and the community right away. The full Academy (courses, weekly lap reviews, workshops, drills and coach support) is an optional upgrade you can add anytime from your dashboard.
