What members say about their lap reviews

Feedback from members after receiving their coach's analysis, in their own words.

★★★★★

“Phenomenal feedback! Yes! I brake too hard all the time. This is a common problem and bad habit, and as you said, I often end up with early apex and need to modulate the throttle. I was realizing that just this week and you confirmed it.”

GR86 · Road Atlanta
★★★★★

“I have dramatically closed the gap to the faster guys I race with. It used to be .8 to 1.0 and now its down to 2-3 tenths left.”

GT3 · Interlagos
★★★★★

“The review was exceptional with a huge amount of detail but the takeaway were 2 clear points to work on. Absolutely fantastic.”

Open-wheel · Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
★★★★★

“Thanks, I was watching replays, and some of the stuff I was suspecting, special the last corner, but after this video I got waaay more consistent and also quite fast, thanks!”

LMP2 · Interlagos
★★★★★

“It was very interessting to place the car in the middle of the track. It made me think more about car placement and it changed my vision because I had to concentrate more.”

GT3
★★★★★

“Just want to say thank you. You shed some light on an issue I guess I didn't fully realize.”

See a review, end to end

What a completed lap review looks like.

A GT3 lap at Mexico, reviewed corner by corner — timestamped notes against the member's own footage, and the change to practise next.

What you send

One onboard lap

A YouTube link or the file itself — any car, any track, any sim we cover. Several consecutive laps if you want consistency feedback.

What the coach does

Watches the lap itself

A coach goes through it corner by corner, in the context of the car, the track and what you were trying to do.

What comes back

Timestamped notes on your footage

Where you braked, where the line cost you, where the throttle went down — marked against the moment it happens in your clip.

What to practise

One change before next week's lap

Each review closes on a single focus, so the next lap you send is measured against something specific.

Coaching example

The braking change that fixed his corner exits

Mike was struggling to accelerate out of corners. The coaching session traced the problem back to his braking—and gave him a specific change to practise.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is a human sim racing coach better than an AI coaching app?

They answer different questions. Data shows you where the time went; a coach watches the lap, tells you which change to make first, and answers when you reply asking why. See what a lap review looks like.

What does a lap review actually analyse?

Your braking points and brake release, your line and apex, where the throttle goes down, your consistency across laps if you send several, and the mistakes that only show up under pressure. It comes back as timestamped notes against your own footage, plus one drill to work on before the next lap.

Which sims do you cover?

iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and Automobilista 2. Any car, any track.

How quickly do I get feedback on a lap?

Median 36 hours. Roughly two thirds come back inside two days. A busy week runs longer — we would rather tell you that than quote a 48-hour promise we miss.

What happens after I apply?

A coach reads your application. If you are accepted you receive an invitation to join, and the invitation stays open for 48 hours.

Do I have to pay to start?

Membership is by application rather than checkout. If you are invited, membership is $24.99 a month with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime.

How is this different from 1-on-1 coaching?

A lap review is asynchronous: you send footage, a coach reviews it on their own time, you read the notes and reply. Live one-to-one sessions — screen share, real-time, as long as you need — are a separate service at gitgudracing.com/coaching.
