Coaching with the Race Engineer

How to request and use AI coaching reports to improve your driving.

The Race Engineer can analyze your telemetry data and generate detailed coaching reports. Unlike generic sim racing tips, these reports are based on your actual driving data — your braking points, your speed profiles, your consistency patterns.

Requesting a Coaching Report

Simply ask your AI assistant to analyze a session. Examples:

  • “Analyze my last practice session at Spa”
  • “Give me coaching feedback on my qualifying laps”
  • “What should I work on based on my recent sessions?”
  • “Generate a coaching report for session X”

The Race Engineer will:

  1. Look up the session in your telemetry data
  2. Analyze braking zones, corner speeds, consistency, and lap times
  3. Generate a structured report
  4. Save it to your account (visible in the web app)

Report Structure

Every coaching report includes:

Overview

A summary of your session performance, highlighting:

  • Overall pace assessment
  • Key strengths in your driving
  • Primary areas for improvement

Pace Analysis

How your lap times evolved:

  • Progression through the session (did you improve or fade?)
  • Consistency metrics (how repeatable are your laps?)
  • Best vs average lap comparison

Corner-by-Corner Feedback

The most actionable section. For each significant corner:

  • What the data shows about your current technique
  • Specific improvement opportunities
  • Concrete recommendations to try
  • Priority rating (high/medium/low impact)

Action Items

A prioritized todo list of changes to implement, ordered by expected time gain.

Getting Better Coaching

The quality of coaching depends on the data available. Tips for better reports:

More Laps = Better Analysis

  • Run at least 10-15 clean laps in a practice session
  • Avoid sessions with many offs or incidents — they add noise
  • Multiple sessions at the same track give trend data

Be Specific in Your Requests

Instead of “analyze my driving,” try:

  • “Focus on my braking into Turn 1 at Monza”
  • “Compare my technique in the fast corners vs the slow corners”
  • “Look at my consistency through the Maggots-Becketts complex”

Use Follow-Up Questions

After receiving a report, ask follow-up questions:

  • “Why is my exit speed low in Turn 3?”
  • “Show me the braking data for the corners you flagged”
  • “Compare my best lap’s Turn 1 to my average”

The Race Engineer maintains context within the conversation, so each follow-up builds on previous analysis.

Viewing Reports in the Web App

Coaching reports saved by the Race Engineer appear in the web app:

  • Navigate to a session’s detail view
  • Reports are listed with their generation date and summary
  • Click to view the full report

See Coaching Reports for details on reading reports in the web app.

Tips

  • Don’t try to fix everything at once — Focus on the top 1-2 action items per session
  • Re-analyze after practicing — Ask for a new report after working on the suggested improvements to track progress
  • Use alongside comparison — Verify coaching suggestions by comparing laps yourself
  • Build a routine — Analyze after every session to build a feedback loop
