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.”

What online sim racing coaching looks like.

A GT3 lap at Road Atlanta, reviewed corner by corner — the member's own footage, the coach's video review of it, and what 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.

The model

The alternative to one-off sim racing coaching.

Traditional sim racing coaching usually happens in a single live session. You spend an hour with a coach, get feedback, and then continue practising on your own.

GitGud Academy uses an ongoing coaching model instead. Every week you submit your own driving, get personalised feedback from a coach, work on the weakness they identify, and come back with another lap so your progress can be checked.

The coaching follows your development rather than ending after one session.

  1. You drive
  2. Coach reviews
  3. You get a targeted drill
  4. You practise
  5. Coach checks again

Coaching for racecraft, not just lap time.

Lap time is only half of what costs you positions — wheel-to-wheel is the other half, and it is read the same way: a coach watches the clip and tells you what to do differently.

05
Human coach

What your sim racing coach actually analyses.

Reviews the footage

A coach watches the lap itself

Your own clip, corner by corner — read in the context of the car, the track and what you were trying to do.

Prioritises the corrections

One thing to fix first

You get the change that makes the biggest difference, in order, instead of a list of every corner at once.

Answers follow-ups

You can reply and ask why

Ask follow-up questions in the same thread. Your coach answers, so you know exactly what to practise next.

Want the reasoning written down before you send a lap? Read the braking technique guide, or see what a lap review looks like.

06
Every stage

Sim racing coaching for every stage of driver development.

Newer drivers

Build braking, racing line, throttle and car-control fundamentals correctly, before the habits set.

Intermediate drivers

Find the habits preventing you from progressing into the next split.

Experienced drivers

Identify the smaller technique, consistency and racecraft problems that are difficult to diagnose alone.

Online coaching for iRacing, ACC, LMU and AMS2

The coaching is based on transferable driving technique rather than memorising one car or track. We currently review driving from iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and Automobilista 2, across GT, formula, prototype and other classes.

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?

Within 48h. Your coach sends timestamped notes on your lap and one thing to drill before the next one.

What happens after I join?

Your membership starts straight away: the courses, drills and community open at once, and you can send your first lap for review the same day.

Do I have to pay to start?

Membership is $39.99 a month with a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment, 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, where a coach watches you drive over screen share, are booked separately: see 1-on-1 iRacing coaching.
