What Our Clients Say About Us
I just gotta say: thank you tons Marian for the feedback, as soon as we came out of that call I went into practice and then joined the race and I am running mid 25s sometimes low 25s easily now, I improved by at least half a second.

This was absolutely phenomenal @Marian Barbieru. Like you’ve done an amazing job fostering community here where we learn from you but also each other. Improving 6 seconds over the course of 20 laps is insane to me. Had so much fun and really appreciate you mate. 👑

@Marian Barbieru Thanks for the help in last night’s workshop. I just got on for a practice and 8 laps in I have already beat my best time by 3 tenths. 1:25:606. The shallow braking is hard to be precise with but it’s much better. I’ll keep working on it. Thanks again

Frequently Asked Questions
Workshops are held every Sunday evening – 8 PM CET / 2 PM EST (EU-friendly slot)
Great for European drivers in the evening and a comfortable afternoon time for North America.
For drivers in Asia and Australia, the time is tougher because of the time zone difference. That’s why every workshop is also announced on Discord in advance and recorded — so you can still review the coaching and drills at your own pace if you can’t attend live.
Workshops will focus on three areas:
Group coaching on GT4 / GT3 using the iRacing schedule of that current week
Racecraft events to practice side-by-side racing situations
Group drills where I’ll show you in real time how to practice and master core techniques like trail braking
Each week you’ll join a workshop. Every session builds skills that transfer across all forms of racing. To be part of the workshops you need to join the Discord server.
I’ll pick the same track that’s running on iRacing that week. That way, everything you practice in the workshop is immediately applicable to your official races.
