…I gotta say, that after some of the league races and generally developing my driving technique and racecraft, I was no longer too tense driving at the near tip of the spear. I felt mostly comfortable and confident. Focusing on the racecraft and setting up my car well into turns while alongside others… This is somewhat of a breakthrough for me. I am usually getting too tense and not breathing enough, dry mouth, sweaty palms...

The value of the courses and challenges doesn’t seem to be the instant gratification of the lap times (although it is satisfying). It’s more like we’re getting a better taste of all these different skills now so we can better identify when we need to lean on them in the future. I feel like the days of not being able to get up to speed in different cars are gone and I’m becoming more dynamic in my driving. The iRating may not jump up now or anything but this academy is definitely going to pay dividends in the future.

It's amazing how you think you know something but until you actually put it into practice, it's just a theory. When I saw the MRC chapter on elevation changes and how it changes grip levels, I thought to myself that of course I know that. Was doing the first few academy lessons and Suellio is very detailed in showing the minor elevation changes and how to use it to your advantage... This is where the Academy stands out in my opinion, yes it's a lap guide, but one where every detail is mentioned and you start to see a pattern of what to look for and do on all tracks. Thanks

I’m really enjoying the academy, just 6 challenges in, but I’m looking forward to putting the learning into practice to try to be more competitive. Just trying to not fall into old habits and think about what I’m doing. My biggest things I hope to overcome are braking from high speeds and track usage, I’m always afraid of going off track, so I’m late on throttle a lot of the time and therefore losing time. To anyone on the fence, you can learn a lot and so far I’ve found it well explained and you get detail that just watching laps or looking at telemetry will not get you. Really glad I took the plunge and the gran turismo challenge nostalgia is an added bonus. Well done Suellio on the success, well deserved!

…One of the things I really value is the opportunity to drive cars and try combos that I wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s been a great learning experience and definitely worth it…Overall, I recommend the academy, but I’d love to see more variety in the challenges, especially with faster single-seaters added, even if they would come without videos. Right now the 20 challenges seems like not enough.
