Practise on the servers and in the app
Learn a circuit in the ApexGuide simulator first. It names every corner, shows where to brake and tells you what's coming next. Then join the servers from Content Manager and get laps in with other drivers at Donington, Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and more. It’s a casual group built around learning the circuits and clean racing.

Questions
What do I need to play?
A PC with Assetto Corsa from Steam, plus the free Content Manager launcher and Custom Shaders Patch. A wheel helps, but a controller works.
How do I join the servers?
Open Content Manager, go to Online and search for ApexGuide. When a server is live it also shows on this page, with a button that opens it straight in Content Manager.
Is it really free?
Yes. Practice, one qualifier each month and the final if you qualify are free. Membership lets you enter all four qualifiers and adds the ApexGuide AC telemetry plugin for recording, replaying and comparing your laps.
How do I qualify for the monthly final?
Four qualifying races take place each month. Free drivers choose one to enter; members can enter all four. Each qualifier awards a final place to its highest finisher who has not already qualified. The other eight places go to remaining drivers ranked by their best finishing position, with fastest valid lap breaking ties. Each driver can take one place in the 12-driver final.
How is the overall winner decided?
Fastest valid qualifying laps set the starting grid for the final. Whoever wins the final wins the real track day. Each month’s qualifiers and final use the same circuit, car class and conditions so lap comparisons are consistent.
What does membership include?
Membership includes everything in Free, entry to all four monthly qualifiers and the ApexGuide AC telemetry plugin. Record laps in Assetto Corsa, upload them to your ApexGuide account, then replay and compare your racing line, speed, braking and throttle with the reference lap. Membership is coming soon.
Which cars can I drive?
There are two classes. Track Day is cars you might bring to a real track day: Toyota GT86, Mazda MX-5 (NA, ND and Cup), BMW M235i Racing, BMW 1M, BMW M3 E30 and E92, Nissan 370Z, Alfa Romeo 4C, Lotus Exige S and Porsche 718 Cayman S. Performance has more power and less grip to spare: BMW M4, Alfa Romeo Giulia QV, Ford Mustang 2015, Toyota Supra Mk4, Nissan Skyline R34, Porsche Cayman GT4, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, 911 R and 911 Turbo S, Audi R8 Plus, Nissan GT-R and Chevrolet Corvette C7.
Which circuits are on the servers?
Anglesey, Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Mallory Park and Oulton Park in the UK, plus Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, Laguna Seca and the Nordschleife. All of them except Monza have a free ApexGuide track guide and simulator lap.
What if I'm missing a car or track?
Content Manager tells you what's missing before you join and shows where to get it. The original Kunos cars and tracks need no download.
Do I need to be fast?
All abilities are welcome to practise and enter a qualifier. Final places are earned through your results. It’s a friendly group for track day drivers, and a way to learn a circuit before driving it for real.
Who can win a track day?
Drivers who live in the UK and qualify for the monthly final. The winner of the final wins the track day. Free and member accounts race for the same prize. Full race and prize terms are published before entries open.
