Sim coaching

Develop your racecraft

The routine Marcel used to prepare for a Pro Series round, taught on your own rig, anywhere in the world. Coaching is being set up: the curriculum below is fixed, and who teaches each session, the format and the price are confirmed by email before anything is booked. No payment is taken on this site.

What the coaching covers

Four things, in order

  1. BrakingThreshold, trail and release, measured against a reference lap. The fastest thing to fix and the one most drivers get wrong.
  2. Building a qualifying lapThree sectors, three problems, in sequence. How a lap is assembled rather than attempted.
  3. RacecraftDefending, overtaking, tyre and energy management. The decisions that decide a race after the lights.
  4. Reading telemetrySpeed, throttle, brake and steering traces, so you can coach yourself after the session ends.

Who teaches.

Academy coaches, with sessions taught by Marcel announced here once his involvement is confirmed. A session is never advertised as Marcel's unless he teaches it.

Why this method.

Marcel won the F1 Esports Series teams' title in 2020 and raced for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports and Williams Esports; the routine is what he used to prepare for those rounds, not a generic course.

Track, not just sim.

In the UAE the same method runs on real asphalt with Ignite GP, from Bambino karts upwards. See the pathway.

Filmed course.

A filmed introductory course is planned as a separate product. It is not available yet and nothing here promises lap-time gains.
