+900 iRating in 5 months

I had been stuck for months, repeating the same mistakes. After following the drills and cleaning up my braking and rotation, I became far more consistent and started gaining rating steadily instead of guessing every session.

COACHING INSIGHTS

Coaching Breakdowns

These short breakdowns show real examples of how drivers improve through structured coaching. By correcting subtle mistakes in braking, rotation, and technique, drivers often gain seconds per lap and dramatically increase consistency.

Fixing A Costly Braking Mistake

In this coaching breakdown we analyze a braking mistake that was costing a driver nearly a second per lap. By correcting the brake pressure curve and improving how the car loads into the corner, the driver immediately gained pace and consistency across multiple laps.

Braking Technique Driver Analysis Lap Time Gains

The Brake Trap That Kills Lap Time

Many sim racers unknowingly develop braking habits that prevent the car from rotating properly. In this example we break down a common brake trap that slows drivers down and show how a small adjustment can unlock seconds of lap time improvement.

STORY

THE JOURNEY

From Sim Racer To Driving Coach

My mission is simple: help sim racers understand driving at a deeper level and unlock the speed they already have.

8+ Years Of High Level Sim Racing

I’ve been sim racing for over eight years, competing at a high level as a top 1% iRacing driver. Over time I became fascinated not only with driving fast, but understanding why the fastest drivers are fast.

Sharing The Passion Through YouTube

I started sharing what I learned through track guides, driving technique breakdowns, and sim racing tutorials. Over time that turned into nearly 1000 YouTube videos helping thousands of drivers improve their lap times and racing understanding.

Engineering Mindset

As an electronic engineer I naturally approached driving through data and analysis. That led me into telemetry analysis, breaking down inputs and racing technique to understand the physics behind braking, rotation, traction and consistency.

From Helping Friends To Coaching Worldwide

I started by helping teammates improve their driving. Then I began coaching other drivers for free. Eventually I launched coaching publicly and became the top rated sim racing coach on Fiverr, working with drivers all over the world.

I’ve always loved explaining complex things in simple ways. Coaching sim racers and seeing their breakthrough moments is what motivates me every day.

BEYOND COACHING

Two More Ways I Help Drivers Keep Improving

GitGud Racing didn’t stop at coaching. I also built two additional resources for drivers who want structured improvement: the Sim Racer’s Training Manual and the GitGud Academy.

Sim Racer’s Training Manual

The book is the distilled version of years of coaching — simplified into a compact system designed to help sim racers understand technique, analyze mistakes, and practice with purpose.

17 practical drills for developing speed

38 step-by-step examples to apply immediately

A straight to the point formula to improve

Consistency Breakthrough

Since I purchased the course and applied the drills, I improved significantly. I went from a 1.9k iR level where I had plateaued, to 2.5k. I also clinched P2 in a league I was participating in. Initially, I scored 0 points in the first 3 races, but after applying the course drills, I scored 121 points in the last 3 races and finished the tournament in P2.

I’ve also won a few races since then and become much calmer during races, leading to greater consistency. I’m really happy with the results and looking forward to booking coaching sessions next month.

Course Quality

50% of the way through the course and blown away by the quality. Within 2 lessons I’d beaten my PB on my fav track by over 0.5 sec. This really does call out subtle and clever points that are not clearly documented elsewhere.

There’s also a lot of content which is great to listen to when chilling, driving, etc. The length of each lesson is clever because you can pick up, stop, and continue absorbing the finer details.

Coaching Impact

After 1 year of iRacing and lots of time feeling I hadn’t got the confidence reaching the level I wanted to achieve, I decided to take a coaching session from Marian to understand what my bad habits are.

I found the session great. The conclusion was where I gained lots of insight into my own driving style and what I should master to get to the full potential. Before I was stuck at a certain time and didn’t feel I could increase it any further. During the session I was already faster and still felt like I could improve more.

Coaching Experience

Just finished my session with Marian. He treats the customers and makes you feel at home, which made a lot of sense looking for a coach. The ability to explain complex things in a simple way is exactly what stood out.

I automatically improved my lap times on cold tyres compared to my session best before. He makes you understand the car and its behavior. It was a great pleasure and I will definitely have another session when I feel I need even more improvement.
