Sim Racers Struggle with THESE Bad Habits 

I always sorta laughed at sim racers who used gloves thinking it was a bit overkill, but after getting massive blisters in one long day of driving, I caved. They actually increase grip considerably on my particular wheel material, and this - related to your video - in turn has allowed me to relax my hands more while maintaining proper grip through the corners. Something to consider!

This goes for everything in general as well, if you race/game/whatever with less tension you gain more control!

Hardest habit for me is gripping the wheel for dear life. Especially in the heat of battle, since often it's done subconsciously. To combat this I've been reminding myself to relax my hands on the straights and building off of that into the cornering phase. Great video, some great tips that not many creators go into detail about.

Good stuff. It took me years to realize I was turning in too soon on almost every corner.

I find practicing and running TT’s very rewarding. More people should run TT’s because it forces you to drive clean laps consecutively over just going as fast as possible like you do in practice.

Multumim ! I've already been consciously forcing myself to do these things since they gained me more than a second on some tracks, it's always good to see a channel that gives good advice though ! And even more pleasing, a fellow Romanian :) keep them coming, lovely edit as well !

Guilty 🙋. I end up doing this more, as I see my lap time is slow, so I push harder, worsening this problem.

Steering ratio is driver preference, even some Pro simracers don't have 1:1, it can also be used for bigger wheels to feel smaller, so you can make a 330+ round wheel feel like a 310mm (GT) wheel or even smaller like a Formula wheel, this can make a huge difference if done correctly. Also, the important thing is to set the middle correctly and you are doing it wrong, if the raw min is 0 and the raw max is 65535, then the raw of the middle needs to be at 32768 (32767 to the left and to the right) Another thing that you are showing incorrectly is the Max force, since iRacing is from 2008 and at that time most of the wheelbases were very weak, they did the their ffb system to maximize the feedback of the wheel, so it's better to have 100% in the wheelbase settings and lower it in the sim, or even if it's not 100% in the wheelbase settings, should never be close to max in iRacing. Just to finalize, it's a very bad habit to calibrate anything with "Use custom controls for this car" selected, specially not doing the middle correctly because in every car you will have a different middle position, also you need to do the calibration in every car if you do that, just use a car that you never drove and calibrate as default.

Cel mai bun canal pt track guides si tips 😍

I think I do it all haha… and you gained a subscriber when using Senna as reference!

Good video concept, good execution explaining it and how to get better. 👏🏻

Good video. Like Suellio meets ViperConcept 😃👍

Do you edit these yourself? Very well edited

i think the people who teach these videos should post their race win stats and some in race fastest lap times

good video as always

My biggest problem is definitely turning after the apex. And your tip was to time it better. But how do I time my maximum steering with the apex?

Setting the steering range to what it is in the driver is actually not 1:1. You can easily check this by going into the options tab in iRacing, then turning your physical wheel by 360 degrees in either direction and holding it perfectly straight and then see what the in game wheel shows. It’s off by a couple degrees. In my example, I use my SC2 Pro at 900 degrees in driver and have to set the in game range around 888 degrees to match my real wheel perfectly. If I remember correctly, it was the same number with my previous CSL DD.

Well a steering rim compatible for the car is also important, gloves if hands are sweaty or you have suede/alcantara wrap, the biggest mistake is not driving the slowest cars, naked rim, manual, 720+ steering degree, cause everyone stuck on assisted cars thinking they are fast.....its the car itself.

thanks :)

i do 1 thing and thats lessing the steering after the exit of corner or smth but on keyboard lol

But how do i prepare the corner, is it just keeping in mind how weight transfers works??

1 None of this is useful on a group racing scenario, all the examples are on an empty track. 2 just enjoy the game

No. 1 mistake even pro sim racers make: not handling the steering wheel with their feet

straight. fire. bro
