Proof that it works.

Marian is by far the best instructor I've worked with. He immediately identified key areas for improvement and explained the underlying concepts with incredible clarity—his use of analogies to simplify complex ideas is the mark of an exceptional teacher. The drills we ran were engaging and perfectly tailored to improve feel and control in the Porsche Cup. I've had coaching sessions with many instructors, but none have been as impactful or insightful. 10/10 would recommend.

Even though I already had a solid grasp of driving fundamentals from books and other resources like YouTube, the Complete Driving Technique course still answered a few questions I'd been carrying for a while. It's clear, well-structured, and practical — linking theory to real driving in a way that finally made things click. It's a great foundation to keep building on. I've since bought the GT3 Masterclass and might post a short commentary

Marian's coaching methodology is exactly what I was looking for. Clear and more importantly precise instruction that you can use to build better habits. I look forward to practicing what we covered and hitting a new level of driving. Thanks you Marian!

Had my first coaching session a week ago with marian.
I just wanna say i improved over a second in my lap timing, being more consistent & helped me with tyre management, used to have alot of overlapping throttle & break.
I never thought i could find times in some corners but thanks to the coaching session i did
I do recommend taking a session sometime you don't see your mistakes or think your doing the right thing .
Definitely going to have another coaching session soon

Marian had our first coach session, I'm very new and he took my telemetry and instead of just telling me how it should be and try to mimick it, he gave me drills to help understand the foundation of what im trying to accomplish for the future. Just was cool he was able to assess where I was and where I needed to focus my attention on. Looking forward to future sessions 👍

My throttle input looked like V-Fib starting out if that tells you how patient he is 🤣

Wanted to add this for proof.

Marian is an amazing coach with a real hands-on approach and deep understanding of the car behavior. In just one session on the F3, he broke down exactly where I was missing potential and gave me a practical approach I can apply straight away. I left with a clear plan to improve and a lot more confidence, highly recommended!

So I got the Racing Technique course. As a new Sim driver this is extremely valuable. Even an experienced driver would find this course useful. It was straight foward and very in depth. It doesn't just talk about driving technique but also includes equipment information as well. I highly recommend this. I am performing well above the pack for being a beginner driver, and the results speak for themselves. It is already stopping bad habits to start and would recommend this to anyone who wants to elevate their SimRacing experience.

Marian's coaching is great he starts you out with the basics I had/have bad habits I'm trying to break and start fresh new good habits thanks Marian.

Had my first session on PCup coaching with Marian last week. Marian had previously coached me in Ferrari Challenge. Had never driven PCup before and as I'm sure you know it's a very tough car to drive. Well, after a couple of rough starts these were my last four race results: P1, P1, P2, P1. I could have spent a lot of time trying and probably failing to understand why I was slow.

I did my first session with Marian. First off he is very personal, patient and friendly. After a few laps he quickly identified my problem areas, and gave a thorough and technical explanation of why this was costing me time. The next few laps he was in my ear with reminders of what we talked about focusing on one item at a time to not overwhelm me. Breaking my bad habits during the one hour session was difficult with all the changes to my technique. After 20min practice after the session I was able to improve my all time best lap time by about 1.5s! Marian was a joy to work with and I look forward to coming back when I hit my next plateau. Would highly recommend!

Did my first coaching session with Marian and definitely learned plenty on how to handle GTPs better in general. Gave some really nice mental feedback on methods on how to drive these and really smoothened out my approach transitioning from Rookie Cars. Plan was clear, concise, and effective from the get go. Will definitely be coming back!

Marian did a great job walking me through exactly where I was losing time and what specific things I needed to change. His insight helped explain clear steps to not only fix my bad habits and correct them for each corner profile. I really learned a lot and am excited to implement these changes!

Very good MX-5 course, goes over the characteristics of the car and the best way to handle it well, great for mastery and for people who are also beginning with a focus on Rookie cars! Concepts and drills were also easy to follow!

Just finished a fantastic coaching session with Marian. Probably the best hour of coaching ever. He instantly analyzed where I could improve and guided me through simple and highly effective drills to improve my pace. I now have a clear path ahead for my practice and I'm confident I'll improve. Highly recommend!

I bought the GT3 course. Marion is so good at breaking everything down, so they are easy to understand. Now I have to put those concepts into practice. Excellent way to learn!

Great formula lights course, lots of info and the exercices are really good if you want to improve.

TLDR: For the price Marian is levels above other coaches that cost more!

Took another coaching
session with the big man as I've just moved from gt4 to GT3 (racing the adult cars now) and after 1 unsuccessful league race I knew I needed help. (I've also bought the GT3 course btw review coming when I've finished)

After a few laps (mercedes/mosport) we talked about the immediate issues that Marian had spotted (throttle/brake overlap, threshold braking not enough steering input at apex and some others) and he explained why these were an issue very clearly, and when I didn't understand he would explain in another way until my smooth brain understood

During the lesson I was finding time but still not super confident in what he was telling me, but that's because during a lesson not only are you trying to implement all the things you are told at once instead of step by step but also you are trying to impress the teacher... However once the lesson ended and I carried on applying what he was telling me I found over half a second... At mosport which I thought was a simple track! Brilliant. I recorded the lesson for me to watch over again and progress further.

I've had coaching with a couple of others that was more expensive and nowhere near as good... (Let's look at that next lesson etc) But Marian just wants to get you sorted out there and then. Will 100% use him again. Can't speak highly enough.

i was joined to the Complete Driving Course and i has completed %30 from it, and to be honest its perfect course i have seen till now, and @Marian Barbieru explain every details any sim racing driver need to master sim racing, he have easy way to give you the info and for sure you will understand it and hopefully finished to join to the GT3 course too, thanks again Marian for this course 🔥

Thanks to the course I have realised my mistakes now I am beginning to understand how I can improve thank you very much

really good course, I like the way marian explains things

I just recently got the 992 Cup car course. Very well put together and accompanied by some interesting bonus materials also. The heart of this content are the Cup specific pieces of course. Like a lot of good teaching content, having worked through it, much of what you learn seems obvious in retrospect. That says the concepts are well-explained as to be easily understood and stuck in my brain well as a result. Oh, and I especially liked the practical exercise suggestions and demonstrations. For my learning style, those worked very well.

Hello all, I got the course 2 weeks ago and the first 2 videos that I have gotten through sofar are extremely informative. Looking foward on the rest of this course and ill be coming back for more reviews. I'm applying this course to iRacing but mostly lmu. I run in gt3s mostly and like gt4 on iRaing. Marian has a great way to explain and it makes it easy to understand what he's saying. I'm enjoying the course very much sofar and looking foward to gaining lap time.

I took the coaching session with marian and honestly didn't expect for even a moment that I'd receive so much valuable information and feedback. In a few minutes, he was able to analyze my driving style, summarize it, and give me notes that were more than useful—I'm confident they'll improve both my performance and speed. To be honest, I don't think a week will go by without me booking another session with him, because I genuinely felt noticeable improvement from the very first time, and I don't want to stop , thank you so much

The GT3 Masterclass is on another level

I have recently taken a dive into the Complete Driving Course and the GT3 Course. As someone completely new to Iracing and Simracing as a whole, I have found these courses to be insanely helpful they are easy to understand and follow and have helped with everything from setting up to trail braking. Honestly stop scouring YouTube for bits and pieces of information and get the courses it is a small investment that will save you hours and hours of frustration! And you will see the proof in your lap times.

Based on working through Marian's core course skills, I've found an approach that works perfectly for me. Some courses offer loads of theory that makes sense but is tough to translate to the track. Others have a few great practical tips wrapped in a lot of pointless fluff. I've not found anybody who is better able to explain what's going on with the car, whilst providing loads of practical tips that marry the theory to actual driving on the track. Great so far, makes me want to do 121 coaching!

For sure, Marian is quick to see the issue, offer a clear explanation, and best of all, a definitive approach to addressing it. This continues to convert to better lap times, which is my goal. However, what he also does is set me up for better techniques for the long run. Marian's style of instruction and encouraging approach leaves me feeling excited, thank you.

I signed up for the course about 9 months back after a lesson with Marian, which was super helpful as I was really struggling to get to grips (literally) with Fuji. The course was really comprehensive and provided and insight into all the techniques needed to improve my driving. I also like the fact that new content is always being added on without the need to always pay for me......the big one here being how to drive in the rain after the iracing update..

Would highly recommend for anyone new to to Sim racing but also to anyone looking to fine tune their skills

I have the Complete Driving course now for more than a year. I can only recomment the course. Marian is able to explain each item in a very understandable way.
It helped me to understand the complexity of simracing.
The GT3 course is also of great value.
So far i only can say, the courses are a source of very valuable information, it will help to become a better driver.

Just had my first coaching session earlier and it was great. The way Marian quickly identifies areas for improvement and the level of detail of his explanations are awesome. At the end, a clear and elaborated action plan was presented and I'm pretty sure that it will make me faster. Oh, and as a bonus he gave me some very cool tips about the specific track to shave off some precious tenths.

I started out with the gt3 course and purchased the complete driving course a couple of days later as Marian has the ability to breakdown complex topics in way that anyone can understand. For context I purchased Suellios courses a year ago, both are excellent and they have a higher production value with videos and better graphs ect but the videos are long and I found myself being distracted by the flashy presentation.
The linear approach of gitgud courses with detailed explanations and hand drawings are incredibly effective and I feel I'm actually taking it all in. Keep up the great work

I used the GitGudRacing course and it was eye opening. The way he explains the concepts make sooo much more sense than other YouTube videos. I am able to process things a lot easier, started focusing more on light hands, and improving my vision. I look forward to buying the GT3 course (as that's my main racing) and potentially the Super Formula Lights as well.

10/10 in case you are hesitant on buying.

I have recently finished the GT3 course and it's very eye opening, and probably not only for this specific car category, but for sim racing overall. The theory is very well presented and more importantly, easily translated to the track, with practical tips and exercises to put into practice aiming to directly improve/fix your driving. I definitely recommend it. 10/10

I have both the Complete Driving Technique Course and the GT3 Course. Both are excellent. Marian has a gift for being able to explain concepts in a clear and understandable way, and help you in applying them. Marian does not just instruct by telling you what to do, he explains why. These course will without questions improve your driving. I would recommend the Complete Course first, and then the GT3 course. I also highly recommend Marian's coaching sessions. He will spot things in your driving that you would never be able to on your own, and help you to correct your mistakes. I assure you that these courses, and Marian's coaching sessions, are well worth it.

Chris

The GitGudRacing course is awesome! The lessons are clear and practical, and they really helped me improve my speed and consistency. Thanks to this course, I've improved a lot, and I've even been able to help others with what I learned. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to level up their sim racing.

Marian Barbieru is more than a coach — he's a true teacher. He listens closely, understands your goals, and uses the physics of racing to clearly explain why the car behaves the way it does. Personable, patient, and passionate, he makes complex ideas easy to grasp. As a veteran teacher of 29 years, I can say Marian has all the qualities that make a great sim educator.

My coaching session with Marian was extremely helpful. After a lap or two of watching me drive he not only identified that I was losing most of my time in the mid corner but also had a few concepts for me to try and improve it. After a very in depth and helpful explanation I was sent back on track to try it all out and could almost immediately feel the difference. I am now looking forward to spending more time practicing the concepts he showed me and have no doubt it will help me solidify my fundamental and progress my skills as a driver further than before.

To anyone considering one of these session I would highly recommend it as they are worth both the time and the money!

I had my coaching session with Marian a day or two ago. it went way better than I could have hoped. He went over so many concepts with me and it was great to ask questions and get feed back in real time. My favorite thing is while we worked on specific corners in a specific track, Marian gave me feedback in a way I would be able to translate to all tracks. Im already seeing faster lap times on tracks we didnt look at together, and I can feel myself already getting better as a driver over all. If your on the fence please sign up for coaching, you wont regret it!

The coaching session I had with Marian was absolutely amazing! I'm completely new to Sim Racing however his ability to spot my bad habits and mistakes after a couple short laps and explain to me why they were mistakes and formulate a plan to correct them that I could understand was simply outstanding. He's very friendly, professional and makes you feel at ease throughout the session. 10/10 would recommend anyone to not waste time scouring YouTube finding resources that explain things partially or in a way that only a professional could understand book a session with Marian you will not be disappointed.

For those thinking about getting the gt3 Masterclass course. It's a must buy. Amazing content with detailed drills to put all the theory into practice.
Loving it so far and would recommend it to everyone!

I highly recommend Marian as a sim racing coach. I first purchased his course series about a yr ago and was incredibly impressed. Recently, he updated the course with a significant amount of new content and generously provided it to all previous owners for free, which speaks volumes about his commitment to his students.

My one-on-one coaching session was equally valuable. Marian is exceptionally knowledgeable and has a gift for explaining complex concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. He seamlessly incorporated effective training methods into our session and provided me with a simple plan for how to practice on my own time. I am extremely satisfied with the experience and will definitely be booking more sessions in the future

When I was driving the Chicago Street Circuit alone, I was able to get my times to 1:31.3 at my absolute best. One session with Marian and well. The times speak for themselves.

Finally got the course! (What rethinking all your life choices on the bus to work at 7 AM does to you) The way Marian explains concepts in his YouTube videos is much easier for me to understand (I also have the MRC), so I thought getting the course would be helpful. Can't wait to start!

Just had a 90 min session with Marian and it was my second session with Marian after having one a month ago. Before my first session I had 2000 Irating and lacked pace just two weeks after I reached 5000. I have had a bad 2 weeks so I am back to high 3000 and I have just had the 90 min session. He was able to show me small details and habits that add up to give me the couple tenths a lap I was missing. Marian was very professional and was very friendly. I couldn't recomend more

It's been a few months till I completed Marian's course and I think it's worth to mention that I jumped from 0.5k irating to 2.5k!
Now I decided to try F4 course - I love this car but sometimes I struggle a lot. The course is amazing, I love it! The way Marian talks about the car, you can see his passion to motorsport and he is radiating with it, I was motivated to jump in the car and drive few laps

After completing F4 I know:
-Where I'm losing laptime, and more importantly I know exactly what to do to get to this pro lap times.
-How to drive on the wet track more efficient.
-How to downshift it better.
-How to drive this car more comfortably, with more confidence and with full control of what I'm doing.
In this course you can also learn about brake bias, analyzing telemetry or mastering race starts.

It is very good course and it's 100% worth it, no matter if you are just starting or if you are a experienced veteran who want to master the car. But especially if you are new to this car I would strongly encourage you to take this course because it will save you basically months of learning the foundations of driving the F4.

The courses are a really great way to start out. There a lot of drills and there is a lot of information in there to get better. When you first start out I think the gitgud course is the best course to start with. The explanations are easy to understand and the technique is explained in such a way do you can easily try and replicate it in you're driving.
The car courses are also a great way to get to know the cars better and to learn specific things about them and how to get fast

Finally managed to get past my plateau of ~1.8k in formula. A week or so of applying the concepts from the course pushed me way beyond 2k (almost 2.2k now) within a week or so. I always had the basics down but lacked the nuances that higher IR drivers had mastered. Thanks for the help and here's to 2.5k and beyond

I opted to try Marian's 296 course and it was worth every penny. There are specifics about this car (and no doubt every car) that just never surface in track tutorials and the like. There are specifically a few major elements I was barely aware of that have a big impact on track times such as how to manage your tyres that were so useful I'm IMMEDIATELY quicker and moved up to second in my division as a result. What's more, I like the way Marian is receptive to feedback in terms of little things that could do with adding to the course, or things that weren't as clear as you'd like them to be. Totally worth the money if you're driving 296 this season, but please don't all sign up as I want to be quicker than you.

Just finished my session with Marian. Firstly, in terms of how he treats the customers and makes you feel at home is something I value a lot. Secondly, what I look for in a coach/teacher etc.. is the ability to explain complex things in a simple way. Marian does that perfecty. I automatically improved my lap times on Cold Tyres compared to my session best before. Really deserves all the credit for how he coaches and the techniques he gives you. He makes you understand the car and its behavior. A big thank you Marian and it was a great pleasure. Will definitely have another session at some point once I feel I need even more improvement. All the best and thank you again

This is a very well structured course with some really good info. I am absolutely satisfied and happy I decided to purchase it

I've had the opportunity to share the virtual track with Marian several times, and recently received some coaching from him. While there's plenty of information out there on what makes faster drivers faster, Marian was particularly effective in identifying the next set of areas I should focus on. He provided me with helpful mental models and specific technical adjustments, both of which have been making a noticeable positive impact on my driving.

I recently had the pleasure of a coaching session with Marian. I have to say, what a great session it was. Marian caters to individual drivers on a case by case basis, so a coaching session with him will benefit both novice drivers to the more experienced competitor. He was able to quickly identify certain aspects (bad habits!) of my driving, and using telemetry, exactly pinpoint the deficiencies and formulate a plan to help mitigate this.
I was very impressed with his personable approach and instructional technique.
I can highly recommend, and I will post definitely be booking another session in the very near future.

This is the third course I bought, first one was Motor Racing Checklist by Suellio Almeida and second was Never Lift by Coach Dave. If you have MRC or NL and you are afraid that you you won't learn anything new - I had the same concerns but dont worry, this course is totally different, covers various different topics and unique knowledge, in my case It even helped me to understand better the other courses! The course itself is very complex, it teach about learning new tracks, helpful IRacing settings, developing hearing senses managing your tyres, race craft, driving in the wet and much much more. It include footages from the coaching sessions and it is extremely helpful, you can watch implementing this techniques in practice. This course helped me the most, I really recommend it to everybody!

I had my first coaching session with Marian, he was able to quickly identify my mistakes and helped me find a way to correct it. I can find my mistakes in telemetry but Marian helped me to understand why I am doing this mistakes at first place. I feel like we've built good platform for further improvements during this session. Summarizing - I really recommend coaching with Marian, today is my 20th birthday and knowledge gained during this session was the best gift I could get! Looking forward to next sessions!

I'll add here my experience with Marian's course and style in general. I've recently reached 3K iRating which I never thought it was possible. The first lesson of the course was key for me, I was doing many of the mistakes Marian pointed out, then applied the fixes one by one and in a couple of days I was lapping 1s quicker. The race strategy and race craft lesson then helped me putting that pace into use in the races but in my opinion the best part of the course is the low-med-high speed corner analysis. It gives you a straight forward approach with a checklist that makes it repeatable no matter the track. The style was perfectly suited for me, starting from the basics and then progressively increasing the difficulty. The only downside was the background music - too loud at times - but I've recently re-watched a lesson and saw that Marian solved it, the music is not distracting anymore. Don't know what my next step should be, but I'll keep sharing my progress as I race more!

After a few coaching sessions, Marian recommended that I take the course to further refine my technique. As others have pointed out, if you've read books or watched videos on sim racing, you're probably familiar with the theory. However, there's a significant difference between understanding the concepts and actually applying them on the track—and that's where this course truly excels. Marian provides excellent examples that demonstrate how to put this theory into practice. One of my favorite lessons covers the fundamentals of navigating the three types of corners: low, medium, and high-speed. Thanks to Marian, I gained a much deeper understanding.

This course sucks - especially for those who like to stay low in iRating and don't like to win. And really, who want's to improve by learning "technique" and "racecraft"? For me, I just pin the steering wheel, pin the gas, pin the brakes, and GO GO GO. and don't get me started on the community on Discord. So sickeningly nice, everyone is. What happened to developing skills to spin your rivals off the road in turns?

Seriously tho - such a wealth to learn from Marian, who puts this course together very nicely. I have improved a ton watching this, and frankly, when I go back and rewatch sections of the course, I always improve a bit more. I HIGHLY reccomend this course for anyone serious about improving their skills and the fun you can finishing well and climbing the ranks. Great Discord community too. I can say enough about Marian's excelent coaching.

I recently completed the course that has truly transformed my racing skills, and I couldn't be more impressed. For the price, the value offered by this course is simply outstanding. I started as a complete beginner, and thanks to the lessons and coaching provided, I've managed to increase my iRating in iRacing to over 2000—something I never thought possible in such a short time.

The course creator, Marian, is incredibly responsive and dedicated. Anytime I had a question or needed advice, I could reach out to him directly on Discord, and he always replied promptly with helpful insights. This kind of personalized support is rare and invaluable, especially for beginners like myself.

The course covers all the crucial aspects of racing, but for me, the most significant improvements came from mastering braking techniques and learning how to manage my pace throughout a race. Marian's clear explanations on how to avoid over or underpacing were game-changers for me.

If you're serious about improving your sim racing skills, this course is a must. The combination of structured lessons, Marian's expert coaching, and the supportive community makes it an unbeatable resource.

Hey all. I did a 30 min session with Marian just to see if I would get anything out of the session instead of a hour because Ive done other sessions with other "Coaches" and after the hour they say you dont look to bad just need to clean up a few thing like brake sooner. or your turning into soon. etc. Like NO shit! How? well he showed me how and also adjusted my Brake pressure on my pedals. and the Best part is when you msg him He responds and he is 7 hrs ahead of me in time. Ive already gained like 1.8 secs with just fixing my trail braking and it still sucks. I cant say enough about How excited I am about my Improvements. I truely might be the worst sim racer there is and I bought some of the best sim gear you can Buy Simucube 2 wheel base Huesinkveld pedals triple monitors But I swear coaching sessions with him its the best money Ive spent.

I had a very good coaching session with Marian. After running a few laps, he quickly identified flaws in my driving that I couldn't spot on my own. For example, he noticed I wasn't maximizing the grip on the front tires and advised me to turn the steering slightly more to gain extra rotation. He also pointed out a key issue with my throttle application on exit—I wasn't smoothly transitioning from 0 to 100% throttle and instead plateauing around 50% for a bit until the car rotated enough, which indicated that I hadn't taken the line perfectly / rotated the car enough for a good exit. There were many more flaws that Marian spotted and explained very clearly. Marian provided clear guidance on what to focus on and suggested a small but effective training exercise to do right before a race.

Hey fellow racers! I'm fresh off a coaching session Marian. Within in 13 laps after applying what we spoke about in the session I was almost 2 seconds faster than my session all time optimal lap! I have done most of the online course before the session and think the content is fantastic and easy to understand. There is a lot of gold nuggets in there. How a coach session helps is to identify which of those nuggets apply to your personal driving style to get better gains. I tried myself to make changes but found it challenging to identify where the main pain points were. This was quickly identified after watching 3 laps. If you are like me an addict for iRating and passionate about getting better I would highly recommend a session or two to kick start your way to finding more pace and ultimately more irating. I know it's not all about the iRating but deep down inside we all know it's all about the iRating and we are all addicts! This is why you do that one last race that you know you shouldn't :-; Cheers guys keep charing see you out there on the track!

Here is an update after I have completed the course.

Since I took the course, I keep coming back and looking at pieces that I need at that moment on what I think should be improved.
The course is divided and narrated in such a way that it is very pleasant to look back at whenever needed.

In addition to the course, I also had two training sessions with Marian and I can only say that I have become a better driver.
To express this in Iracing, I have gone from +/- 1575 Irating (where I was hanging around) to now 2391 Irating. In these last 4 weeks alone I have already risen 600 points.

Of course, it's not just about those points, but seeing that you're getting better on the track, and seeing that reflected in data and lap times, but also in the actual rankings (irating) gives a feeling of satisfaction.

I've been really enjoying Marian's course. I converted an unused sketchbook into my "learning log" and make notes while watching videos, and it gives me a great reference to look back on and refresh how to implement his concepts. The video on developing your hearing and feeling senses feels like it's going to unlock my next level of progress because he's blowing up some preconceived ideas I had that appear to be completely wrong! Loving it, and plan to add coaching sessions to my next season of iRacing.

I had a session with Marian on Wednesday in prep for a league race on Friday.

Did a couple of laps and straight away pointed out I was trying to add rotation after apex and trailing off my braking too early. Explaining concepts with drawings to help make sense of it, so we worked on these things.

It was a bit weird in the lesson as I'm not used to talking to someone while driving, but after working on the advice he gave me in some practice sessions after I ended up finding over half a second. I'll definitely be booking Mr gitgud again and recommend you do to

I signed up for the course when it first got launched and since the beginning I've been finding the videos to be highly practical and educational. I can see the mistakes I made quite easily due to the very clear illustrations, explanations and examples. Besides providing instructions on what techniques I should apply, the videos also provided insights on WHY those techniques make sense in a logical way. This helps me to connect the dots in varying scenarios and in a way helped me to self-train myself more easily. I've still a long way to go but I'm already happy with the results!

Absolute LEGEND! I was a total beginner and no matter how I applied all the videos I watched I was always losing time. 30 Minutes with Marian and now I am slowly climbiung the ladder. It just feels good to have some confidence. Will definitely work with him again.

I got iRacing last night and after a few races I got this course. I watched 20 mins of the first lesson and improved my race time and positioning lol and it wasn't even done with the first lesson. Hopeful

50% of the way through the course and blown away with the quality. Within 2 lessons I'd beaten my PB on my fav track (Snetterton) by over 0.5sec. This guy really does call out some very subtle and clever points that are not clearly documented in YT or other guides. There's also a lot of content which is great and makes for a nice listen when chilling, driving etc. I love the length of each lesson too, it really is clever approach as you can pick up, start and put down with it playing in the background and continue to absorb the finer details.

Had my first lesson with Marian this weekend and it was brilliant. We did the lesson at Fuji as I was really struggling with Sector 3 at that track to decided the time was right to book a lesson and get Marian to assess my technique (I'm a 1.5K IR) but also to provide some track coaching ahead of this weeks GT3 series.

The way he looked at my technique and explained to me on the areas where I should be focusing on was really simplistic and easy to understand. We put in a lot of sector by sector work on these small improvements he could immediately see and the improvement were already evident, both in time and consistency.

Would highly recommend Marian's coaching for anyone looking to find improvements. Looking forward to my next session.

I started sim racing and thought it will be piece of cake... you know how it ended a lot of struggle. Being slow and now knowing whats wrong is frustrating... After the course i improved by 2-3 sec coming 3sec off the record... lots to improve but the course put me on the right track to do better. Is great as it is easy to undertand and reveils the errors you are doing and how to get rid off them. Thanks for the great learning expirience! Looking forward to do 1:1!

So, I am sitting here getting frustrated fighting for the last couple of tenths in practice to fight for wins in Montreal in SFLs. I got completely stuck and I went back to watch the GitGud course again because I've found that I pick up another detail each time I dive back in. The course has been my reliable source of the extra pace that I need every time I get stuck. I figured this was a good time to put in a review for the course.

I have gone from being a huge ball of nerves, wrecking by myself at the back of 3rd or 4th split with (1.5k IR to 2.7K now), to fighting for wins in top split of SFL. I have to lay out my gratitude to Marian and this course. Sim racing is such a great hobby and it's made so much more fun when you can look back and see how much you have improved in a short time and this course has done a lot for me. Thank you for the great content!

Years of gaming-style driving had left me with bad habits on track. When I switched to iRacing, those bad habits were immediately revealed. I was slow. YouTube videos and telemetry analysis helped a bit, but not enough. Still at the bottom after qualifying.

I had ideas about why I was slow, but with so much conflicting information out there I was just running around in circles. I needed clarity.

My 90 minute session with Marian was great because I finally got clear analysis of my driving. What's good, what's bad, and concrete strategies to improve. By the end of the session, my old lines felt simply uncomfortable. I have some work to do, but now I see time to be had in corners. Like it's just sitting there ready to be picked up.

Amazing stuff. I'll be back for more.

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. A fun and great session was the conclusion where I gained lots of insight on my own driving style and what I should master to get to the full potential. Before I was stuck at a certain time and didnt feel I could increase it any further and during the session I was 0.2 sec faster and still felt like I could improve more. Even if it is only for 1 session, Marian really points out YOUR driving style and doesnt try to force you to alter to something generic. Highly advised for everyone who just want to find that next part of their driving!

Not exactly a review, but my testimonial.

Since I purchased the course and applied the drills, I have improved significantly. I went from a 1.9k iR, 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, finishing the tournament in P2.

I've also won a few races since then and have become much calmer during races, leading to greater consistency (thanks to the pace management lesson).

I'm really happy with the results and looking forward to booking some coaching sessions next month!

After watching some YouTube videos and also buying a book about sim racing, I knew that if I wanted to get better, I needed help.
but where can I find help that is understandable and that actually makes me better.

After seeing some free content I knew for sure, Marian has a way of explaining that fits exactly what I need.

I already knew what I was doing wrong and was able to explain it to Marian, but how to solve it was always a mystery for me. Ultimately, after 1 session of 60 minutes, he immediately managed to solve 3 problems (Potentially) by detecting 1 problem and having a simple solution he helped solve 3 issues at once.

I have applied his tips this entire week, and step by step I see progress and small adjustments that have helped me! not so much in time but in driving style, which will save time in the long run. Because I was convinced of this one session, I immediately booked another session and also purchased his course and started it.

I am looking forward to it

I took a coaching lesson with Marian and it was invaluable. I encourage anyone considering to take at least one lesson. He was able to identify my weak points and provided me with critical insight to help me spot where I can improve when practicing on my own. He is thorough in his analysis and will provide the tips to help you feel more confident in your driving. While I still have much practice to put in to get to where I want to be, I have already started implementing the tools and insights he provided me and I immediately improved my lap times. I plan on taking more lessons with him in the future and I encourage you all to do the same.

Just wanted to share my thoughts and experience so far:

Marian really goes in depth with his coaching and I found out so many little tips and things I was straight up doing wrong! Between his course and first session that I just had, I was able to shave off a lot more time from my lap around Spa in the 992 that I didn't even know I had.

Marian is incredibly thorough with his analysis and really explains the concepts in full detail and in such a way that is very easy to understand. I couldn't recommend taking a coaching lesson with him enough! I'll certainly be having more in the future!

I have to say I am excited to put what I am learning in this course into action, I now understand why I was struggling to maintain pace and how to fix it. I have not raced much in a long time other than some league stuff but with this knowledge I feel confident I can compete anywhere with just a little work and practice

I highly recommend any and all new drivers to do a session with Marian. I watched the equivalent of 10 hours of YT tutorials and not a single one had mentioned a critical core error in my driving that was actually costing me tons of time.

I personally play a ton of video games and he even managed to use familar concepts such as "AoE" to explain how some chambered sections of turns have greater available grip.

I immediately know what I need to work on and improve and how to proceed. Wonderful session, 10/10.

Around 6-7 months ago, I had my first session with Marian. At the time, my irating was around 1.7k and I was just getting into iRacing. Marian is a passionate coach who is great at identifying areas for you to improve. Since then I've now reached 5k irating and still improving at a rapid pace, and he is a big reason why. He now also offers a course, which is an alternative to his coaching service, but I would recommend having a coaching session with him too so he can identify your areas to improve. I've watched all the videos released for the course per today, and I must say there is great information I have not heard anywhere else, and can help anyone improve if you have the correct mindset.

2nd session today Marian was excellent. I went 0.4s quicker after the lesson and easily another 0.4s to come with practice.

Had my second session with Marian this week - F3 at Nurburgring GP. Again, great coaching session, and Marian's tips helped me shave nearly a SECOND off my lap time, now consistently hitting 1.49.2's. Got a P4 and P3 in my last two races. You wanna drive at the quicker pace? Go with GITGUD! Thanks buddy! I'll be back

I have had several coaches in the past, but Marian is the best! I have been struggling for a long time with bad driving habits that have held me back, but Marian quickly spotted them. I really like Marian's multi-pronged approach to coaching, using replay, graphic displays of how brake/throttle inputs impact lap time, and verbal tips/critique while driving. I will def stick with Marian for the long term.

Great Coach! Adapts to your needs, gives it a twist and makes it fun. Very patient and listen to your needs. First 10 minutes already up on time and feeling alot more comfortable in the car. The way he makes you look at your mistakes is just wow, Once you see u cant unsee it. 10/10

Lately I am bouncing between 1.5k and 2k depending on the week's schedule. I had my first time being coached by Marian today. I went a few laps on VIR with the FIA F4, which is a new track/car combo for me. We then went through my driving corner by corner, and he did not only give pointers for the specific car and track, but also taught about driving theory in general. He went out of his way to visualize what he was trying to teach by drawing and using video editing tools. He looked up youtube videos that could help. He took his time to answer questions and never felt like we were in a rush. I really enjoyed the session and tonight I went about 5-6 laps more, improved about 2 seconds, and now my optimal is only 0.1s slower than the youtube guide video hotlap made by another guy for VIR/F4. I know I have a lot more work to do, and obviously optimal and best lap aren't the same thing. My main message is that the care I felt during the session and the usefulness of the advice I got was in my opinion 10/10.

Marian did an amazing job helping me as a newcomer to sim racing. We identified multiple areas that i could improve on and he gave me the tools to fix them. While watching the track guides was very helpful to get me close to the pace i was still 1.3 seconds off the guide. After only 40 minutes of practice after the session i've already improved 0.7 and know where I can gain at least a few more tenths. I will defiantly be scheduling another session once i've got the items we worked on fixed.

Marian was knowledgeable and clear in his explanations. He's given me some things to work on which are achievable and have already started to yield results. I'll be back for more lessons in the future once I've made some progress. Thanks Marian!

Did my first coaching session with Marian. He was very professional and it was great that he was able to work with my time available. He was able to identify very quickly the things I needed to work on. Then his analysis of my laps really help. He shared knowledge that I have never heard from any other coaching sessions or videos online. He really knows what he is talking about. I suggest others to setup a session, it is defiantly worth it.

Had my first coaching session today, thouroughly impressed with the professionalism and the level of detail with the suggestions to improve my driving. Looking forward to implementing those suggestions and getting results. Thank you and I will be doing more sessions to fine tune my technique.

Marian is a great coach - I always learn a ton and can feel myself getting faster as I implement the material from my lessons. Looking forward to the next one!

My First session with Marian and he was great. Very clear in his instructions and very patient😃 I have had coaching elsewhere with well known people and this was by far the best. Also excellent value for the time compared to others. I will definitely be having more sessions.

First coaching session with Marian was a blast! He really explains everything really well and pointed out all the bad habits that I shouldn't be doing!

He gave me drills on corners that I developed bad habits on and guess what? After couple exercises my delta were all positive!

I highly recommend! Thank you so much and see you on the next session!

just had my fifth coaching session with Marian. It's incredible how quickly he's able to spot bad habits early on and correct them every time. He's been good at explaining different concepts using analogies and visuals. The best part is he sets me up with the tools to continue improving my technique on my own through my daily practice.

It's good stuff. i'll be back for more coaching sessions for sure.

I had a coaching session today with Marian and immediately he could identify some areas of improvement for me. He was patience and willing to help me understand the concepts. I think anyone looking for a coach should understand that not all coaches are able to deliver the necessary information required for you to improve. Marian gets it and I would have more sessions with him in the future.

Thanks for the awesome experience.

Putting the lesson skills to practice this afternoon. I have had a great result for the first race! P10 start and a P4 finish. I wouldn't have had that result in that car before the training.

Just ended a 90min session with Marian. Superb session and I dare say it exceeded expectations. Very insightful and corrected some of my fundamental issues and gave me a clear idea of what I need to practice on my own after the session so I can progress more efficiently. Before the session, I was practicing for hours repeating the same mistakes with barely any improvement. Highly recommended for sim racers looking to improve, not just their laptimes on a specific track, but overall technique.

I purchased the Complete Driving Course two weeks ago and after seeing half of the course it completly changed my way of driving. I've been on iracing for 6 monts and for now I just see a hotlap in youtube and try to replicate without clear understanding. Today I started learning a new track without any knowledge and thanks to the course I'm understanding whats happening on each turn and what I need to do go faster. It seems I completly unlocked a new way of drivingx. I'm enjoying a lot more now. So much happy with it!
