In Assetto Corsa Evo, credits are the key to new cars, tracks and improving your driving experience. The more money you have, the faster you can master top cars, buy rare models and become the best driver on virtual tracks.

Before you start earning money, it is important to understand a few key points. There is a progression system in the game: the better you drive the car, the faster you pass the tests and get more rewards. This means that if you use the right driving techniques, you'll be able to earn credits much faster than beginners.

First of all, Driving Academy is your main source of income at the beginning of the game. Not only does this mode bring in money, but it also helps you learn key driving skills. This is where you can get tens of thousands of credits just by completing tasks and achieving three stars on each stage.

Secondly, car settings are important in the game. If your car is set up incorrectly, it can be too difficult to control or lose speed on the corners. It's worth checking before each race:

• Tire pressure - too low will cause loss of traction, too high will impair handling.

• Brake balance - helps avoid skidding under hard braking.

• Suspension stiffness - affects the car's control in corners.

How does the stars and rewards system work?

In challenges you need to achieve a certain result to get 1, 2 or 3 stars.

      1 star - you passed the challenge, but poorly.

      2 stars - good result, but there are mistakes.

      3 stars - perfect performance, maximum reward.

To consistently get 3 stars and more money, it is important to understand the mechanics of driving and avoid common mistakes.

Driving Academy - the main source of credits

Each task in Driving Academy gives you credits depending on the result. If you want to get the maximum, you need to perform them perfectly. Let's break down the main points.

1. Late apex is the main secret to driving fast

On all circuits, especially Brands Hatch, it's important not to enter the corner too early. If you start the corner early, the car will go off the track, resulting in a penalty.

It's better to use a late apex: enter the corner a little late so that on exit the car is on the perfect track and doesn't lose speed. This is critical for Paddock Hill Bend, one of the most difficult corners in the game.

2. braking technique - don't just pedal.

Instead of braking suddenly, use the trail braking technique of gradually reducing speed with a turn of the steering wheel. This will keep the car balanced and avoid skidding.

It's especially important to control braking in a Druids corner, which requires precise entry. Brake before the turn, but do not block the wheels or you will lose time.

3. Traction and throttle control

If your car has traction control (TCS) on, it can interfere with aggressive acceleration. In some tasks, it's best to turn it off to avoid power loss on corner exit.

4. Optimum steering angle: steering through braking

Correct corner entry is not just about turning the steering wheel, but about smoothly transferring the weight of the vehicle.

How do you achieve the ideal steering angle?

• Use braking to stabilize - this helps “load” the front wheels.
• Don't turn sharply - gentle steering movements keep you balanced.
• Watch the weight of the car - sudden movements rock the car.

If you enter it too sharply, the front axle will lose traction and the car will drift. Use braking to stabilize the front end.

5. Secret trick: the right start in trials

Most trials start from the starting line, but you can save a fraction of a second before you even start driving.

What's the right way to start?

• Release the brake a moment before the green signal - this speeds up the car's reaction time.
• Do not accelerate to the floor at the start - this will cause slippage.
• Watch your tire grip - it's better to accelerate smoothly than to lose control.

Example: starting in an EV test An electric car accelerates instantly, so don't accelerate 100% from the start - otherwise you'll get wheelspin.

The ultimate challenge: the electric Alpine

Many players have trouble driving the electric Alpine, as it behaves differently than the internal combustion engine cars.

Here it is important not to drop the throttle abruptly, as the electric motor has a different torque characteristic. Instead:

• Use a balance between braking and throttle - don't release the pedal completely, but reduce power smoothly.

• Don't lose speed on corner entry - unlike classic cars, an electric car is worse at recovering loss of speed.

• Try to enter the corner wider - this will help you to keep the optimal trajectory.

If you follow these tips, you can easily score three stars and get maximum credits.

Additional ways to earn money

In addition to Driving Academy, there are several other ways to earn credits in the game:

• Online Racing. In network mode, bonuses are awarded for high positions. The more wins - the more money.

• Events and special tasks. Some temporary events allow you to get credits for fulfilling special conditions.

• Challenge programs. Performing Challenges (for example, passing a lap without penalties) can bring bonus money.

Earning credits in Assetto Corsa Evo is not so difficult if you know the right driving techniques and use them in Driving Academy. Follow these tips and soon you will have enough money to buy the coolest cars!
