Worth every penny…went from rfactor paint scheming on photoshop in my spare time to designing real cars in 2014 on ai using this course. 9 years later and I’ve quit my 9-5, bought a printer and joined the graphics business.

This course is even better than what I had hoped for. I had zero knowledge or experience in using any type of design program before this. Ray recommended I try a free 7 day trial of AI & take the course. I would complete the lessons & then start over to get more familiar & quicker with the program. Having the ability to skip around to different lessons when you can't remember how to do something is extremely convenient moving forward. Take advantage of this course especially if your desire is to design race car wraps.

I'm working through the Mastering Adobe Illustrator course now. It is great, very informative and I've already learned a lot and I'm not even half way through. This coming from someone with no illustrator experience previously. Highly recommended and plan to purchase the Mastering Race Wraps course at some point as well! I'm also subscribed to the site -- live sponsor templates are great, free vector graphic monthly along with other benefits. Definitely worth 9.99/mo.

This course made such a dramatic impact at our office we were able to hire an absolute beginner from the sim racing world and had him producing pro quality graphics ready for print in under 2 weeks.
This is for the absolute beginner all the way to skilled novice and above. You will benefit from this course tremendously! The efficient work methods used by Ray will save you countless hours & in our line of work time is more than money. Unless your an absolute AI pro you owe it to yourself & your business to invest in this course. Its will pay for itself on the next project, I promise you that.
