GITGUD ACADEMY
Sim racing courses & lessons
Learn braking, car control, racecraft, GT3, Formula and car-specific technique — then practise it with a drill and have a real coach check whether you are actually doing it right.
Why lessons alone are not enough
Most sim racing courses end at the explanation. You understand trail braking perfectly and still cannot do it, because understanding a technique and executing it under load are different skills. The whole library is built around closing that gap.
A short lesson on one thing — what it is, why it works, and what it should feel like from inside the car.
Not more laps. A specific, measurable exercise that isolates the technique so you can tell whether it worked.
Send the lap or the drill attempt. It takes a minute and it is the step almost nobody else offers.
A real coach watches your driving and tells you where your execution differs from the lesson — corner by corner.
The full library
Fundamentals first — they transfer to every car and every sim. Car-specific masterclasses are worth far more once that base exists than they are as a shortcut around it.
Foundations of fast: braking, steering, throttle, and what it really means to drive correctly.
Best for: Complete beginners who have never driven a lap.
Foundations of fast: braking, steering, throttle, and what it really means to drive correctly.
Best for: Any driver whose technique was never taught properly.
Everything that makes a fast GT3 driver: setup, race-craft, and the fine details of every corner.
Best for: GT3 drivers on iRacing, ACC and Le Mans Ultimate.
From Formula 4 to F1 — the complete blueprint for open-wheel sim racing.
Best for: Open-wheel drivers moving into high-downforce cars.
Single-seater foundations: F4 setup, racecraft, and pace under pressure.
Best for: Drivers starting out in formula machinery.
Mastering the MX5 cup car: rotation, tire management, and consistent pace.
Best for: Rookies and anyone learning momentum driving.
Porsche Cup car deep-dive: rear-engined balance, qualifying pace, and race management.
Best for: Cup drivers dealing with a rear-engined car.
Super Formula Lights: high-downforce open-wheel craft and racecraft at the limit.
Best for: Super Formula Lights and high-grip open-wheel racing.
Best for: 296 GT3 drivers who want car-specific detail.
Best for: GR86 drivers and low-power, low-grip technique.
Who teaches them
The courses are not assembled from public YouTube advice. They come from coaching real drivers, and the people reviewing your laps are the people who built them.
Questions
Start with the fundamentals rather than a car-specific course. Braking, trail braking, rotation, throttle control and vision transfer to every car and every sim, so a driver who learns them properly gets faster in whatever they drive next. Car-specific masterclasses are worth far more once that base exists.
No. The technique courses are sim-agnostic, because braking, weight transfer and racing lines behave the same way in Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and Automobilista 2 as they do in iRacing. Car-specific masterclasses reference iRacing models most often, but the driving content applies wherever that class of car exists.
A course teaches the technique on your own schedule; coaching tells you what you personally are doing wrong. They solve different problems, which is why both are here — and if you want one-to-one work specifically, lap reviews are the direct route.
Usually more than beginners, because experienced drivers have specific habits holding them back rather than a general lack of speed. The car-specific masterclasses and the review loop are aimed at exactly that.
Yes. Lessons are paired with drills — a specific, measurable thing to practise rather than another set of laps. That is the difference between watching an explanation and changing what your feet do.
Yes, and it is the part that makes the rest work. You submit a lap or a drill attempt and a coach watches it and tells you where your execution differs from what the lesson taught.
Yes — every course in the library, plus the drills, the training tools and the coach review loop. Individual courses can also be bought separately on gitgudracing.com if you only want one.
There is no schedule and no deadline. Lessons are short and self-paced, and most drivers get more out of one lesson plus a practice session than out of watching five in a row.
10 courses, 300+ lessons and 25+ drills are included in the membership — along with the coach who tells you whether you are actually doing them right.
