We present optical and infrared photometry of the classical nova V906 Car,also known as Nova Car 2018 and ASASSN-18fv, discovered by ASASS-SN survey on16.32 March 2018 UT (MJD 58193.0). The nova reached its maximum on MJD 58222.56at $V_{\rm{max}} = 5.84 \pm 0.09$ mag and had decline times of $t_{2,V} = 26.2$ d and $t_{3,V} = 33.0 $ d. The data from Evryscope shows that the nova hadalready brightened to $g'\simeq 13$\,mag five days before discovery, ascompared to its quiescent magnitude of $g=$20.13$\pm$0.03. The extinctiontowards the nova, as derived from high resolution spectroscopy, shows anestimate consistent with foreground extinction to the Carina Nebula of $A_V =1.11_{-0.39}^{+0.54}$. The light curve resembles a rare C (cusp) class novawith a steep decline slope of $\alpha=-3.94$ post cusp flare. From thelightcurve decline rate, we estimate the mass of white dwarf to be $M_{WD}$ = $< 0.8$M\textsubscript{$\odot$}, consistent with $M_{WD}=0.71^{+0.23}_{-0.19}$derived from modelling the accretion disk of the system in quiescence. Thedonor star is likely a K-M dwarf of 0.23-0.43\,\Msun, which is being heated byits companion.
