Gives novice drivers more confidence

As a beginner with 4 track days last year, I never knew how much longer I or my car was in it. I would never stay on track for a whole day because I felt like I was just hammering the car without improving money or HOW I could improve. Now that I've spent a track day with it in the car it has greatly improved my track experience and I want to return as soon as possible as many spots have pointed out how I could improve. I started the day with my personal best lap time of 2:40. After a few laps, the AI started seeing my inconsistencies, pointing them out, spelling out what the "optimal lap time" would be, and showing you frames with the fastest time in a given section. After each session, this gave me the knowledge of where to improve my next session. I went from the optimal lap of 2:38 to the optimal lap of 2:30, where my actual lap time was 2:32 (with no traffic or traffic holdups). would have achieved this optimal lap time of 2:30. 1 day on a 3.1 mile route for a total of 4 sessions and 50 laps now I have so much data and this is my optimal line. I highly recommend it and it's totally worth the money if you're like me and find it difficult to ask for help but want to improve asap.
