      i have recentlly got a wheel and want to try sim racing. i have little to no patients and there are not a single actual beginners guide anywhere. this was a great video but i was wondering if you could teach me how to get good at it. i dont want to be like a pro and what not. i want to learn it so i can just have fun and drive a car in a straight line and not have the car steer me into a damn wall lol. i would appreciate the help if you can give me some.

    Thanks for setting me back up🙂 I started off pretty clean, but gradually found myself getting subconsciously more aggressive with my racing. This made me realize I gotta dial it back a bit!

      1 year later I’m curious to know how your experience has gone on I racing because I started a couple weeks ago and it’s really bad racing most of the time with people driving like insane psychopaths in almost every single race. It’s really bad and I’m surprised how bad it really is for a paid service. It’s not cheap either as you probably know

    Great video, exactly what I was looking for.
    Getting into sim racing, looking at the moza r5 bundle to start out.
    This looks like an absolute blast, I'd even have a good time driving the MX-5's in rookie all day.

    Great racing!
    I’d you’re ganna take this serious you should ditch that formula wheel for formula cars and GT3 type only. And get a rally or circle wheel for cars that have them in game. It will give you much more car control in grip and when loosing it since their steering racks are so much longer. Sadly the round wheels can translate to either or, but the formula wheels are a huge limit on standard wheel cars. Just due to steering angle available
    Again I usually match the wheel in game to the style wheel I run on my wheel base. The WRC from fanatec is a frat wheel for the price. Keep it up!

    You've gotta practice your starts man. You're sitting in neutral with the clutch ENGAGED, reving the engine, and then just slamming it into first when the lights go out without touching the clutch at all! Can you imagine doing that in a real car? It would grenade the transmission. Leave it in first with the clutch disengaged, then slip the clutch until it's fully engaged. Just like you would with a normal h-pattern car.

    • @xSmithyx
      @xSmithyx  9 місяців тому

      I wasn't holding the clutch, it was the game engaging that due to the clutch settings I was running

      The games have just gotten stale and the repetitive bugs across multiple titles have just turned me off from the game at the minute. Big changes are needed for F1 23

      In all honesty, I did intend to live commentate over these but messed up the audio recording and couldn't remove the face cam footage once I'd realised my mistake! Totally my bad, the face cam is gone from next week's video
