What Driver Dojo does

Driver Dojo is a telemetry setup coach for the F1 games. It reads your own laps and turns them into exact setup changes, per-corner coaching and race strategy. Here is the full list of what it does today. Everything below works on your own driving, not a generic fast setup.

Live telemetry dashboard

While you drive, the dashboard shows speed, throttle, brake and gear live, with per-corner tyre wear, tyre and brake temperatures (in °C or °F), fuel, and ERS state. In a race or qualifying it becomes a pit-wall view: a full timing tower for the field, a live track map, gaps to the car ahead, behind and the leader, and the current sector times with the purple-sector car highlighted.

Setup recommendations

After a stint, Driver Dojo recommends specific setup changes with exact values, for example rear wing 5 to 7, and an estimated lap-time gain for each one. Every recommendation carries a confidence level and an impact band, and a per-corner explanation of which corners it helps and by how much. The changes are grouped the way the game's own setup screen is (aerodynamics, transmission, suspension, brakes, tyres) so they are quick to apply.

Driving analysis and coaching

Driver Dojo reads the lap and flags what is happening without you having to describe it: oversteer on exit, understeer on entry, front and rear lockups, overheating tyres, uneven wear, and kerb abuse. The coaching view breaks the lap down corner by corner with a consistency score, apex timing (on target, early or late), and the time you are losing at each corner.

It also tells you whether a slow corner is technique limited (how you are driving it) or setup limited (the car), so you do not chase a setup change that cannot help.

Corner mistake heatmaps

A track map heatmap shows where you lose time, where your exit speed drops off, and where your braking is inconsistent, with a ranked list of your worst corners and a short tip for each. You can save the heatmap as an image to share. (Available on mobile.)

Lap comparison

Put two laps side by side across more than twenty telemetry channels (speed, throttle, brake, steering, the forces on the car, all four tyres, fuel and energy). A racing-line map draws both laps on the track and colours the line by time delta, green where you gained and red where you lost, with a single synced cursor across every chart and the running delta at that point. Export the comparison as an image.

Race strategy and pit windows

Driver Dojo fits a tyre degradation model to your own recent laps, not a generic curve, and compares one, two and three-stop strategies. It gives you the earliest, optimal and latest pit lap for each stop, a projected lap-time chart across the race, a tyre-cliff forecast (cliff in N laps, and which corner gives out first), and fuel burn with an optimal starting load. You can change the race length to see the strategy shift.

Session history

Every session is saved. Browse past sessions by track, date, session type and goal, open any one to see per-lap times, sector splits and tyre state, add your own notes, and export the lap data as CSV. From any past session you can jump straight to its recommendations.

Race engineer and spectator view

Share a live, read-only link and a friend can be your race engineer from anywhere. They see your telemetry, recommendations, strategy and coaching live, as a pit-wall view on desktop or a compact view on a phone, without connecting the game themselves. Links expire on their own, you can revoke them, and you can see how many people are watching.

Post-session questions

A few quick questions about how the car felt, combined with the signals Driver Dojo already detected in your telemetry, sharpen the recommendations. Where a question touches a concept you want to read up on, it links straight to the matching tutorial.

Voice coaching beta

Driver Dojo can speak to you during the session like an engineer on the radio: race start, safety car, a fresh set of tyres, a strong launch, a best sector, a rain warning, and a sign-off at the end. It speaks in your chosen language, and it stays quiet about driving technique when the car is damaged.

Learn the setup basics

Nine interactive tutorials, with diagrams, cover oversteer and understeer, the differential, brake bias, wing angles, suspension, tyre pressures, camber and toe, tyre compounds, and wet setup. They are written in plain language and available in every supported language.

Common questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Driver Dojo runs in your browser. You only switch on the game's built-in UDP telemetry, which takes about a minute. See the telemetry setup guide.

What makes it different from other F1 setup apps?

It reads your specific laps instead of handing you a template, it gives exact values with an estimated lap-time gain instead of vague directions, and it analyses time loss corner by corner.

What does it cost?

Driver Dojo is free to use during the beta.
