WHY THIS BOOK FEELS DIFFERENT

More Than Advice. A Step by Step System.

Most sim racing guides tell you what to improve. This book shows you how to do it, what to look for, what mistakes to avoid, and how to turn each concept into something practical behind the wheel.

What makes this book different

Most guides tell you what to improve, but not how to actually do it. This book is different because it’s precise, structured, and fully guided.

I’ll show you:
Which car to load
Which track to use
Where to reset
The exact inputs to practice
You’ll know:
What to look for
The common mistakes to avoid
What the correct result should feel like
Every drill includes:
Clear explanations
Real input graphs
Side-by-side examples
Visual illustrations, so you can immediately see and understand the technique
There’s no guesswork, no vague tips, and no “drive more laps.” Just a clear, actionable system that shows you exactly how to become faster, more consistent, and more confident behind the wheel.
FIND YOUR FIT

Who Is This Sim Racing Book For?

The Sim Racer's Training Manual is built for drivers who want more than random laps and generic tips. It gives you a structured way to practice, understand your mistakes and turn sim racing theory into repeatable driving technique.

01

Newer Sim Racers

Build the right braking, steering and throttle habits from the start. Learn the fundamentals of car control before inefficient techniques become difficult habits to fix later.

02

Drivers Who Feel Stuck

Replace endless laps with structured sim racing training. Use clear drills, objectives and worked examples to understand what to practice and why it matters.

03

Drivers Who Know the Theory

If you understand concepts like trail braking, rotation and consistency but struggle to reproduce them on track, the manual helps turn that knowledge into repeatable driving technique.

Built to work across different cars and simulators. The focus is on transferable driving technique, structured practice and understanding how to improve — not memorizing one setup, car or track.

CREATED BY

Built From Years of Driver Training

The Sim Racer's Training Manual was created by Marian Barbieru to turn years of driving analysis and more than 1,500 coaching sessions into a compact, practical training system you can apply directly on track.

Instead of giving you more theory to remember, the book focuses on structured sim racing drills, worked examples and repeatable techniques designed to help you improve your braking, rotation, consistency and overall driving performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this book for?

This book is designed primarily for sim racers at a beginner or early intermediate stage who want a clear, structured path to improve.

How do I get the book after purchasing?

Once you place your order, you’ll get instant access to download the PDF. It’s yours forever. No expiration, no limits. You can download it to any device and read it whenever you want.

Do I need special equipment?

No — nothing special is required. All you need is a basic sim racing setup: a wheel, pedals, and a device that can run your sim (PC or console, depending on the title you use). The techniques and training apply to any equipment level, from beginner gear to high-end direct drive setups.

The book is designed to improve your driving fundamentals, not depend on expensive gear.

How do I get the best results from this book?

Follow the drills exactly as they’re laid out. I’ve already done the hard part for you: choosing the right cars, tracks, settings, and difficulty levels — so you can focus 100% on improving, not figuring out what to practice.

What does The Sim Racer’s Training Manual teach?

The book covers braking and trail braking, throttle control, corner phases, understeer and oversteer, car balance, racecraft, consistency, pedal discipline, replay analysis and structured practice through 27 practical drills and 48 worked examples.

Does this sim racing book work outside iRacing?

The book was developed primarily with iRacing, so if you’re using iRacing, following the drills exactly as written will be the easiest and most straightforward experience.

If you’re on another simulator, the techniques still apply 100%. The fundamentals of driving don’t change between games. You may just need to swap a few of the recommended cars or tracks for similar ones available in your sim. As long as the replacements match the purpose of the drill (car type, difficulty, layout), you’ll get the same value and progression.
