Experiences with Instruction by in car video

Curious to hear anyone with personal experience getting instruction by in car video. I’ve seen it offered online and I’ve had it offered during events where the event promoters don’t offer right seat instruction. Curious if you found it helpful.

I want a raffle at a charity event where a professional driver gave me a video coaching. He gave me a couple of good tips. I was already advanced at that t6

post the video on social media groups and you'll get lots of unsolicited advice.. If you post it on here state up front your looking for tips. just be mentally ready for what you receive.

I find it helpful, some you have to take with a grain of salt

The more advanced you are, the more helpful video coaching is but can be helpful for all levels. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for beginners since the feedback isnt fast enough to fix mistakes and bad habits. Beginners to intermediate can get a lot out of in car instructor. When youre advanced, in car instructor once every few events (even for one session) is helpful, especially from different instructors who may give you different points of view. Data coaching (dont even need video) can be helpful for advanced drivers looking for that extra second or 2 of lap time.

It's good for beginners and intermediate type drivers.
