Go deep on your car

The final layer: dedicated, corner-by-corner courses for specific cars. You can jump straight in, but they land far better with the matching masterclass behind you.

The Technique Transfers Across Simulators

The fundamentals of braking, weight transfer and racing lines transfer across iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and Automobilista 2 — so the courses are not written against one title.

Car-specific masterclasses use iRacing models, and the driving applies wherever that class of car exists.

Sim Racing Drills & Practice Exercises

Turn each lesson into focused sim racing practice. Choose a skill like trail braking, racing line, rotation or throttle control, follow the drill, then apply it on track. Academy members can submit their driving for coach feedback to check whether the technique is being executed correctly.

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.

Sim racing lessons can cover braking, trail braking, steering, throttle control, weight transfer, racing lines, car rotation, racecraft, consistency and car-specific techniques. GitGud organises these topics into a progressive curriculum rather than isolated tutorials.

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.
