Daniel Mercer

“Samuel completely changed the way I approach racing. Before coaching, I was constantly overdriving the car and losing time without really understanding why. He spotted it almost immediately. After working on braking technique, rotation and throttle control, I found pace I genuinely didn’t think I had. I’m now consistently several tenths quicker on tracks where I’d been stuck for months.”

Chloe Bennett

“The biggest improvement wasn’t just outright speed — it was consistency. Samuel helped me understand why certain laps were quick rather than just telling me to brake later. My lap times became much more repeatable, my tyre management improved and I stopped throwing away races with unnecessary mistakes.”

Ryan McKenna

“I went into coaching expecting a few driving tips and came away looking at Gran Turismo completely differently. Samuel’s understanding of weight transfer and car behaviour is ridiculous. Within a few sessions I was braking more confidently, carrying more minimum speed and getting much cleaner exits.”

Jessica Morgan

“My biggest weakness was qualifying. I could race reasonably well, but I could never put together that one really fast lap. Samuel broke the lap down sector by sector and showed me where I was being too cautious. The improvement was huge. I started setting qualifying times I previously would have assumed were impossible for me.”

Adam Clarke

“Samuel somehow manages to explain incredibly advanced driving techniques in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of saying ‘you need to be quicker here’, he explains exactly what the car is doing, why it is doing it and what input needs to change. That made learning so much easier.”

Megan Lewis

“I used to rely heavily on traction control because I didn’t trust the rear of the car. Samuel gradually taught me how to control the throttle properly and understand when the rear tyres were approaching their limit. My confidence without assists is completely different now.”

Nathan Wilson

“The improvement in my racecraft has probably been even bigger than my lap-time improvement. Samuel taught me how to position the car, pressure opponents without making contact and recognise when an overtake simply isn’t worth attempting. I’m quicker, but I’m also a much cleaner racer.”

Sophie Campbell

“I had been stuck at roughly the same level for months. Samuel identified habits that I didn’t even realise I had — particularly releasing the brake too quickly and trying to force rotation with steering. Fixing those two things transformed my driving.”

Jamie Thompson

“The R8 used to terrify me. I could do a quick lap occasionally, but I never trusted it. Samuel showed me how to manage the car under braking and how to avoid unsettling the rear during transitions. It went from being one of my least comfortable Gr.3 cars to one of my favourites.”

Emily Parker

“One of the best things about Samuel’s coaching is that he doesn’t try to turn everybody into a copy of himself. He worked with the way I naturally drive and helped improve the weaknesses within that style. It made the coaching feel very personalised.”

Aaron Hughes

“I gained nearly a second at one of my weaker circuits after going through it properly with Samuel. The crazy part was that none of the changes felt dramatic. It was little things everywhere — braking points, brake release, positioning and earlier throttle. Added together, the difference was enormous.”

Lucy Hamilton

“My confidence improved massively. Before coaching, I was constantly second-guessing what the car was going to do. Samuel taught me what sensations and visual cues to look for, and suddenly everything felt much more predictable.”

Callum Reid

“I thought I needed to brake later to become faster. Samuel actually had me braking slightly earlier in several corners, but with much better technique. I ended up carrying more speed through the corner and getting on the power earlier. That completely changed how I understood lap time.”

Hannah Foster

“I went from chasing individual fast laps to actually understanding how to build a complete race. Samuel helped with consistency, tyre management, overtaking, defending and keeping calm when another driver is putting you under pressure. It was a massive step forward.”

Ben Wallace

“Samuel notices ridiculously small details. He picked up on tiny steering corrections I was making mid-corner that were costing grip and upsetting the car. Once I learned to make the initial input properly, the car instantly became easier to control.”

Lauren Mitchell

“I’d watched guides before, but nothing compared with somebody actually looking at my driving and explaining what I specifically was doing wrong. Samuel could tell me not only where I was losing time, but exactly why.”

Ethan Murray

“My race pace improved almost immediately. I stopped abusing the front tyres, became much smoother on corner entry and started getting far better exits. Over a full race distance the improvement was enormous.”

Rebecca Shaw

“Samuel helped me stop being scared of making mistakes. Instead of treating every mistake like something terrible, he used them to explain where the limit of the car actually was. That made experimenting with braking points and corner speed much easier.”

Jack Robinson

“The difference in my braking technique before and after coaching is night and day. I used to slam the brakes, release them and coast into the corner. Samuel taught me how to use the brake to control the car all the way into the entry. It unlocked so much pace.”

Olivia Graham

“I finally understand trail braking. I’d heard the phrase hundreds of times, but Samuel was the first person who explained how much brake pressure to carry and how it affects rotation. Once it clicked, so many corners suddenly made sense.”

Matthew Kelly

“I became significantly quicker, but the biggest thing for me was understanding why. I can now go to a new track and work out where the time is instead of needing someone else’s lap to copy.”

Amy Patterson

“Samuel’s coaching completely changed my relationship with difficult cars. Instead of fighting instability, I learned how to anticipate it and use the car’s movement. Cars I previously avoided are now some of the most enjoyable ones to drive.”

Connor Stewart

“I was hovering around the same Driver Rating level for ages. After working with Samuel, my pace and consistency both took a massive step forward. The difference wasn’t some secret setup — it was finally learning to drive the car properly.”

Nicole Evans

“He’s incredibly good at spotting where a driver is trying too hard. Samuel actually made me slow certain inputs down, and somehow I immediately became faster. I stopped attacking every corner and started letting the car work.”

Dylan Moore

“The improvement to my overtaking was massive. Samuel taught me how to set up passes several corners in advance rather than just diving when I saw a gap. I’m making more successful overtakes now while having far fewer incidents.”

Grace Taylor

“I used to lose confidence as soon as the rear started moving. Samuel helped me understand which movements were normal, which ones meant I had gone too far, and how to correct the car without panicking. That alone transformed my driving.”

Kyle Davidson

“Samuel found more than a second across one of my weaker circuits without changing the setup at all. That told me everything. The pace was already in the car — I just wasn’t using it.”

Emma Johnston

“What impressed me was the level of detail. Samuel could explain why I was losing a tenth in a corner that looked perfectly fine to me. Once you start adding those tenths together across an entire lap, the improvement becomes massive.”

Owen Murphy

“My consistency over a ten-lap run improved dramatically. Before coaching I could set one decent lap and then be all over the place. Now my laps are grouped within a few tenths and I’m much more competitive in longer races.”

Katie Reynolds

“Samuel helped me understand that being aggressive doesn’t mean being rough with the controls. My driving is actually calmer now, but much faster. I brake with more purpose, steer less and get back to the throttle sooner.”

Liam Fraser

“I had almost convinced myself I had reached my natural limit. Samuel proved very quickly that I hadn’t. There were fundamental things in my technique that nobody had ever pointed out before. Correcting them gave me one of the biggest jumps in pace I’ve ever experienced.”

Sarah McBride

“My entire approach to practising changed. Instead of endlessly doing laps hoping to improve, Samuel taught me how to isolate a particular corner or technique and work on it deliberately. I now improve much faster even when I’m practising alone.”

Alex Hunter

“The coaching genuinely made racing more enjoyable. I’m faster, but I’m also much less frustrated because I understand what went wrong when I make a mistake. Having that knowledge makes a huge difference.”

Rachel Boyd

“Samuel helped me become confident in cars with difficult rear-end behaviour. His explanation of weight transfer under braking and throttle made everything click. I stopped reacting to the car and started anticipating it.”

Michael Grant

“I’ve had improvements in braking, qualifying, consistency, tyre management and racecraft. It wasn’t one magic trick. Samuel gradually removed bad habits from almost every part of my driving.”

Bethany Scott

“The biggest compliment I can give Samuel is that after coaching I don’t need as much coaching. He actually teaches you how to analyse your own driving. I’m now capable of finding and correcting mistakes by myself that I previously wouldn’t even have noticed.”

Christopher Doyle

“My pace jumped considerably, but my incident rate also dropped. Normally you’d expect pushing harder to create more mistakes, but Samuel helped me become quicker by becoming more controlled. That was the breakthrough for me.”

Ellie Ferguson

“I never thought I would be comfortable driving without assists in some of the faster cars. Samuel took everything gradually and explained each change instead of just telling me to switch things off. Now I’m driving faster with more control than I had with the assists.”

Thomas Campbell

“Samuel’s knowledge of Gran Turismo goes far beyond memorising braking points. He understands the physics of what the car is doing and teaches you to recognise it yourself. That makes the lessons transferable to completely different cars and circuits.”

Laura McCann

“I was losing huge amounts of time on corner exits without realising it. Samuel showed me how my entry technique was compromising the entire second half of the corner. Once we fixed the entry, the exit speed came naturally.”

Andrew Morrison

“I’ve probably learned more about driving technique from Samuel than I did from hundreds of hours of simply playing the game. The improvement in both pace and understanding has been massive.”

CRGRT Coaching

Whether the objective is finding outright qualifying pace, reaching a higher Driver Rating, mastering unstable cars, improving racecraft, becoming more consistent or simply understanding why the car behaves the way it does, Samuel Feinberg’s coaching is built around developing the driver rather than simply providing a faster lap to copy.

The goal is simple: make drivers faster, cleaner, more confident and capable of continuing to improve on their own.
