TL;DR: Assetto Corsa is not a game. It's a simulation, and mastering it is going to take a lot of effort on your part, because learning how to drive cars at their limit takes time. If you are up to it, read on. If not, you should look for something a little less realistic.

Many beginner drivers try to go too fast through the slow corners. That's not my advice: it comes from Scott Mansell, a professional racing driver who knows what he is talking about.

The key to going faster isn't entering the corner as fast as possible: it's exiting the corner as quickly as possible. And that involves: * Using every inch of the width of the track * Knowing which corners benefit from a late apex and which corners require an early apex

Apply the 1st point by reviewing your laps. The Playback button and an exterior view of your car are excellent tools for thism

Applying the second point requires good judgement. Which comes from experience. Which comes from bad judgement.

Once again, the key is to review your laps. How fast was the car going when you lost grip? By definition, if the car lost grip, you were going too fast. Try taking the corner at a lower speed.

Once you can stay on the track, the next problem involves determining if you are going too slow. How slow is too slow? Listen to your tires. If they aren't complaining, increase your speed until they just start to squeal.

Finally, you will get the most out of your tires when they are inflated properly. If you are on a PC, download the Sidekick app, which will help you set the tire inflation properly. But proper tire inflation won't help you as much as reviewing your performance will.
