Your personal lap coach
Race Academy
Every clean lap recorded, mapped and broken down corner by corner. See exactly where your time goes, watch your fastest lap back, and lower your times.
Turn every lap into lap time
A lap time on its own tells you nothing about how to go faster. Race Academy turns every lap into a map of your driving, so you can see the corners costing you most and do something about them.

Every lap, recorded automatically
Just race. Race Academy records every clean lap in the background, so your fastest run on every track and car is always saved and ready to study.
Your lap on the track map
See your fastest lap drawn on the circuit, corner by corner, with the time you spent in each one. The whole lap, laid out so the slow parts are obvious.
See where your time goes
The coach breaks your lap down corner by corner and shows you exactly where the time is hiding. Carry more speed, brake later, get on the throttle sooner.
Watch your fastest lap back
Replay your best lap and watch the line, the braking points and the throttle play out. The clearest way to understand what your quickest run actually did.
Study any driver's lap
Browse laps shared by the community on any track and car, then lay their lap over yours to see where they gain. Learn the line from the drivers ahead of you.
It follows you into the cockpit
Your fastest lap and the time you have to find appear on your DNR dashboards in real time, so the next target is always right in front of you.
This is not an AI coach
Race Academy never uses AI and it never guesses. Every word of coaching is calculated from your real telemetry, your speed, throttle, brake and track position, measured corner by corner against your reference lap. It is accurate, repeatable and scientific. The same lap always gives the same answer, because it is maths, not a chatbot inventing plausible sounding advice.
A typical AI coach
- Guesses from generic patterns it was trained on
- Gives advice that sounds right but can't be checked
- Can hand you a different answer for the same lap
Race Academy
- Measures your speed, throttle, brake and line directly
- Traces every tip back to a real number on your lap
- Deterministic: the same lap always gives the same answer
Every tip is one of these measured comparisons
Brake later
Where you hit the brakes earlier than the reference into a corner.
Carry more speed
Where the reference holds more apex speed through the middle.
Get to power earlier
Where you wait longer than the reference to go full throttle.
Smooth your hands
Where extra mid corner steering corrections scrub your speed.
Refine your line
Where small, scattered losses add up through a corner.
Single lap technique
Even with nothing to compare to, it finds coasting, braking past the apex and late throttle, read straight off your inputs.
Four ways to find your pace
Every recorded lap opens up the same toolkit, so you can take it apart the way that suits you.
Session Laps
Your fastest lap, the track map and the time spent in every corner.
Lap Replay
Watch your quickest lap play back, line and inputs and all.
Coach
Where your time goes, corner by corner, ranked by what it is worth.
Communities
Study any driver's saved lap and lay it over your own.
