Your last sentence about not moving over is good. I'm waiting on my wheel and pedals to arrive and I've managed to get out of rookie on every class and I'm up to class C in rallycross. I let people by since I'm unable to fully control what I want my car to do, but I generally will practice and pressure as much as I can. The alternate lines make sense, I will have to practice that. I'm new to proper racecraft.
@@nate2662 ok work has calmed down, and here's what I've learned over the years. Getting a sturdy and somewhat comfortable stand is a must. I've always used my desk or a TV tray or something and it sucks and is not immersive. I splurged on a Next Level Racing wheel stand and it is so sturdy. The whole wheel stand with everything on it is around 100 pounds. Force feedback is something you'll need to tweak. Most have a program that deals with force feedback settings, and then there are other tweaks in game. I suggest looking up how FFB works and how you can tweak it for (insert game here). Pedals are important because you need to be able to give smooth inputs. Just like FFB, you can tweak all of those settings so find something that works best for you. I grabbed some T-LCM pedals and I'll never go back to cheaper pedals (even though mine aren't super great). Depending on the game you play, your racecraft and overall skill level will somewhat dictate your performance. There's no replacement for seat time. Lastly man, enjoy it. If you're into racing and want to get better, it's going to take time, finding what works best for you, and slowly increasing your skill level. My first week of my wheel I've loved, and I've already gotten into the "I HAVE to get better" and it has taken the "fun" away from my racing.
THANK YOU!!!! I am going to promote this video in EVERY RACE I AM IN! You should definitely inquire with iRacing to do their training videos, you’re like the Brian Cox of iRacing! (You’re a Brit, you should know that name!)
how do i get my car to move??? I just spent money for 3 months of iracing and once I'm in a practice session with my wheel/pedals set up I can only rev my engine in place and turn the wheel. how do you drive in this game? please help

Wheel and pedals came. Still tweaking and getting things set up but I'm already able to run side by side and overtake 😇
@@93cutty I’m new to wheel as well…. Any tips you’d be able to give?
@@nate2662 give me a sec to get to work I'm running late haha. And yes I have started left foot braking. What games do you play?

What where you racing on before your wheel?
Useful information. Now I could just get racing instead of watching videos about it!
I’ve been practicing for about a month, I’ve watched so many videos and Dave is good. Hope you have improved.
Just came across this. Great video!! Really helpful!!
Someone should prescribe this to Max and Lewis, after yesterday’s performance. 😉
Thanks, as always, for the great content, Dave.
Great video!
This was an excellent guide
Awesome thanks
