Had by first go with Racers360 and I was totally impressed. Nelson Mason was my assigned coach and I can't say enough about how good he was and how much thought and effort he put into my session. I learned so much and really appreciated the work that they put into working with me. I am definately going back..

I'll echo the positive reviews, I have used the service once and was very satisfied, and will use it again once I get acclimated to the Cayman that I'm just starting to use for HPDE to replace my old boxster. The thing that surprised me the most was how early I was picking up the throttle in places which was causing understeer and delaying my application of full throttle. And worse, I could have sworn that I didn't do that, but it was right there. I wasn't able to set a new PB the next time back at the track after the session, but I did match it even though it was hotter out (Sebring) but next time I go back in equivalent cooler conditions I am curious to see what happens. :-)

Just another one to sing the praises here... I have been working with Dion and as Dan mentioned already, the thought, detail, feedback and process itself is really impressive. Not only has Dion helped me pick up time but also correct some bad habits in the process. I was at NJMP this weekend and my video and data will go to Dion today. Absolutely nothing negative to say.

Someone on facebook posted that the service got him 1.1 seconds at (wait for it) Limerock. And not from 107 to 105.9; from something like 57 to 55.9.

It’s a great value, Cameron is on board helping Dion now and that is another great resource.

Default Another Happy Customer

I’ve used Dion a few times now at Sebring, and I’ve been amazed at the high quality of his coaching. Dion has a gift for coaching, and I personally find the one recorded lap approach of Racers360 to be far superior to having a coach in the right hand seat while driving. I’m no professional driver, and when someone is giving me real time feedback while I’m driving, I find it difficult to concentrate and sometimes even to hear because things are happening so fast and it’s loud. In contrast, I’ll watch Dion’s detailed turn by turn feedback five times before I drive the next time so I’ve fully internalized the feedback and can try to implement it. The service is so relatively inexpensive ($100 for a lap) and the feedback is so useful that I’m now going to use it every time I drive.

I second Racers360 and Dion, great feedback, specific and easy to understand

I've used them, and while the biggest benefit was immediately lowering lap times I was most impressed by two things: first, the turnaround was FAST. I don't recall what the actual SLA was but I had my analysis back in under 24 hours. I don't know if that should be expected every time, but it blew me away that D vM was able to provide so much value so quickly. Second, the analysis and instruction wasn't just track/turn specific (brake here, turn in earlier there, etc), it was mostly stuff that has made me a better driver across the board. He did a great job identifying issues that were showing up across my lap and then using the corners where they were most impactful to work on them. Actual coaching, and not just track tips.

I have used Racers360 a bunch of times and have always gone with DVM. I like the way he explains things and I get a lot out of it.

Instead of buying that Porsche hoodie for $250 get yourself a coaching session!
