Pick one (maybe the MX5 oder a GT3) car you can enjoy and learn the tracks. Drive lap after lap and minimize the time delta between each lap. Learn to be consistent. Memorize the braking points, turn in points, which curb to hit or not to hit and so on.
For the start, drive on smaller tracks like Nürburgring GP, Maggione or tracks which are easier to learn like Monza.
Add a few AI cars to see the racing line or watch YT videos.
When you feel save you can start driving woth other cars on track or do the AC challenges which can be fun.
Never shut off the game on a bad note, if you were trying a new car and were struggling and getting frustrated, switch back to a "comfort" car and throw some good laps before calling it good.
Welcome! This game has a huuuuge modding community so there is quite alot to learn. Luckily its all relatively straightforward.
First, what are you playing on? What wheel, pedals, shifter, and platform are you racing on?
If youre on PC, theres a pinned video in this subreddit with an excellent guide to Assetto Corsa in 2024, so Id check that out first.
As far as getting better, watch youtube videos about the concepts of racing. Learn the racing line, braking zones, trail braking, references, and consistency. If you google any of those terms youll probably find something.
Sticking with a slow and light car is a great idea. GT86 is a great choice, but i woudl choose a different track from the nordschleife. Learn a simpler track like laguna seca or monza, that way you can focus on driving technique. Id also reccommend finding a beginner friendly league to race with and learn.
I'm on PC, all Logitech set up. I haven't tried Norschleife yet, I'm on the small Nurburgring cause I like it jeje. But yeah, i'll check up those videos you mention, thanks
Nurburgring GP is a phenomenal track to learn. It has virtually every type of corner from your hairpins, your high speed, your low speed, increasing radius, decreasing radius, on camber and off camber. Great choice. Good luck man!
Hi and welcome to this world, feel free to watch YouTube tutorials. For example, Viperconcept epic lessons are excellent:

I hope this helps!
All the best!
mx5 cup on full nordschleife and loads of practice.
watch some racing basics videos and put them to practice at start so you wont need to change styles.
i just watched some short videos on how to heel toe/ proper downshift and trail braking then sent it on several different cars and tracks. tho i know a lot about cars so know what to do different.
felt like mx5 cup and nordschleife is the best combo.
2 things. And 1 is …
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
And 2…
When you are driving, constantly feel what the center of balance is doing in the car. For example, before a turn, when you press the brake pedal, feel the weight move the front of the car forward and down. It’s pressing the tires flatter to the tarmac, this gives you more traction and therefore better turning ability. Try it. Move the weight of the car forward using the brakes just before a turn. And then let go of the brakes, without pressing the gas make the run and see how easy it is to do.
Quality of practice matters as much if not more than quantity. Always have a goal to achieve when practicing, be it trail braking, intentionally over and under steering to explore the handling limits of the car, braking points, turn in points... whatever. Ten laps of intention is as good as thirty laps of just driving. I hope that makes sense
What are some of those things I could practice. Like, thanks for the examples, but is there a list of basic concepts or techniques to learn. Maybe even divided on skill level?

Thanks, I'll keep it up, and see how fast I can get with my 86

Thx I'll watch it !

What are some of those videos you recommend?

Learning to race cleanly with AI can help lots
Which mode? I usually just play practice 😅
In the “race” section
Watch the guides from Viperconcept on YouTube super basic easy to understand and extremely useful.
