Can you ACTUALLY learn how to drive a Manual Stick-Shift on a Racing Simulator? We Tested It! 

as a sim racer for 4 years before i could legally do a driving test really helped me with my manual test and passed instantly

Great thing about learning to drive a stick - like learning to ride a bike...once you learn to drive a stick, you NEVER forget how, no matter how long the interval between experiences.

For people who don’t know, The sim they used is Assetto Corsa. There are an infinite amount of mods you can download and run on PC. The game is also available on console but it’s not moddable. Hope this helps 🙏

I had to learn by driving around my old Kmart at night while in high school. But I officially learned enough to actually drive a stick while driving in my neighborhood. I had a very patient instructor.

I've driven a stick my whole life and taught many people but always forgot to teach em red lights on a big hill and always wonder how they faired

Always have comfortable/appropriate shoes when driving manual makes a big difference

Simulator needs a clutch friction point/stall mod on a map with hills to really learn

You need to mod tye hella out of AC to make it more realistic like a better corvette model that handles more realistically and stuff, but all in all. 👏👏👏 Amazing work homie

I was worried about the sandals! She did great tho!

Very sharp young lady! Smart and without fear

I thought about buying a wheel and pedal sets to learn the basics of driving cuz everytime i go on the driver seat of a real car to practice my legs would shake like crazy and i would shit myself (not for real obviously) cause of the stress, the car not being mine, me not knowing what the hell im doing and all that shit. would it be a good thing to actually practice on a sim to be less stressed about the real thing or the mental barrier is something i need to break in a real car even if it mean potential damages to the gearbox and all that shit ? i think damages on a car that's not mine is what scares me the most actually ... a lot of people are stressing me out about the fact that i don't have a driver license at the age of 24 but like i said before i find it way too stressful atm. and if it a good idea what would be the ideal wheel + pedal + gearbox for about 500/600 euros total ??? i know there are cheap options like the G29 but from what i heard it's really not the best and most people wanted to switch pretty fast after they bought it. ive heard good thing about the t300 but at the same time apparently overheating is a big issue on thoses ... HELP other than that it's really cool to see a beginner being able to do it. if anyone ever experienced it and overcame that shity feeling feel free to leave how you did it, everything is good to take at this point ...

Very nice, I suggest for future reference have her go through all the gears before driving so she gets muscle memory and doesn’t money shift

The game simulator is great. I love playing car sims, when the time I need to drive a real manual car. One of my mentor can't believe its really my first time driving a car. Of course I stalled the car 1 or 2. So its easy for mo cause simulators help alot. Thenl only thing i practice then more is to guage my left and right and to center my car on my lane. The the most challenging is in the uphill; its really hard for a beginners. Especially when you merge traffic from uphill and immediate right turn . Congrats to her.

"alright! you just slammed it into neutral." 😂

as someone with a wheel. i would use it almost daily at the age of 16-17 around that time im allowed to take my drivers test. 100000000% asseto corsa contributed to my driving skill. it helped me reach a level i never thought i could. i literally practiced paralell parking on the simulator and practiced driving in traffic. i only got a point for wide turning but passed. now im 18 more advanced and can drift like crazy etc. so worth it, all my freinds have 0 driving capability after u play asseto so much. like i was trying to play this racing game on my freinds controller and he was backseat driving so much and told me to slow down blah blah, since i have experence on asseto this game seemed so easy and i was taking corners like a pro. i instantly beat his personal best lap time on nurenburg and it just goes to show how much asseto corsa can teach you.

So is it the same concept from a motorcycle? I can ride a motorcycle (had a old cruiser and now a z900), but never learned how to drive a manual car

AWESOME, AWESOME to do it this way. Great idea!!! Hey, maybe if the teacher got in the seat first and demoed the simulator so she could witness and sense the rhythm, and listen and watch him and then let her hop in and give it a go, it might click a little bit with that.

Can you explain this whole set up please!

It definitely works to build muscular memory but the streets are a real jungle.

which simulator game did she play on?

If anyones wondering, unless you got a real fancy expensive setup with pedals that have actual feeling in them, driving on a sim rig won't do anything for you besides help you get used to the basic movements and gear pattern

Of course you can!! Been driving over 20 years 😂😂

This is why I love sim racing

I learned in my bedroom with tons of yt videos. Then I grabbed my hammer to act as the shifter. Shoes to act as my pedals. This way i learned to drive manual in 1 hour. Only problem is you might shift into wrong gears. Example from second to third you might accidentally go into fifth. Fifth to fourth you might go into second on accident. Thats just a matter of real practice.

The 4 speed is a bad choice to learn on due to the ratios being farther apart a 6 speed is ideal for learning it gives a closer gear ratio for take offs . IMHO anyways

Well done!!!

Hey what simulator do you use? Does anyone know?

I learned with a Logitech G25 and need for speed prostreet

Whats the sim called

Whats the brand of this set up?

I think she is no more because she don't know about indicators 😂 what a driving lesson

Hi can you tell us what sim program did you use?

Nice

What is the name of this game

wow racing sims are so different

Guys needed to teach her what to do first before telling her to do. I also would not recommend assetto as a place to learn to drive. BeamNG Drive is a better sub for that, in comparison. Otherwise, fun video

The name of program

Women are in all equal to men, especially in physical related activity, as this video clearly shows.

what is simulation name?

What game is this?

What's the game?

You can learn whatever the fuck you want on a computer at this point let’s be real 😂

what game is that?

Man I wish they made better racing simulators all the ones ive tried are Logitech ones and they feel like your driving a go cart rather than a real car 😂😂😂

Thought I recognized the parking lot, right next to balboa park and the medical center

Nop, no way, she need learn well to driver this car. :)

But I can drive a manual😮

fov is so fucked haha

What game was that

Simulation are the best practice

We still understand why is laugh too much. Really. A beginner driver needs to be a serous mode to learn.

This girl so much laugh

How much this machine cost??

test this with a male

👎 for annoying laugh very second.

women...
