Set the correct Force Feed Back settings Always make sure you have set the correct Force Feed Back (FFB) settings. If they are set too high you will be clipping. Clipping is when the FFB sends no detailed information on the wheel because it is hitting a maximum threshold. In some sims it is possible…
Slow in, fast out Typically, new or novice racers coming to a new track are eager to get that super fast lap in right from the start. Just remember that going faster does not always give you a faster lap. Especially when cornering. Slow in, fast out is the trick. Start your first few laps…
Commit to your throttle What regulary happens is that people are not commited to the throttle. For example; when you enter a corner all the way down to apex and into applying more power again exiting the turn a lot of simracers are releasing the throttle slightly, coasting, and get back into more throttle again.…
Have you ever seen the A-TEAM? Who is driving the car? Yes it is B.A. Go watch youtube and see how he drives a car. It is insane. The steering input B.A. gives while driving the car is too much. Even on the straights he is putting a lot corrections to the cars steering. In…
To be consistent in the long run you need to focus on one goal at a time. So don’t do some hotlapping with a few liters fuel and after 10 minutes start on doing a long stint. Stick to one plan at a time. Actually before you start doing hotlaps make sure you can do…
Driving with assists seems the way to go when simracing. That is actually not the case. Make sure you turn off stuff like brake and steer assists. Also try to learn a track with the ideal line disabled. Or if you are not known with racing at all try to turn it off as soon…
Invest in hardware! Simracing is about speed right? So if you are driving fast but the images build up slow that is not really how we want it right? So just like in a lot of first person shooters, you want get your FPS (Frames Per Second) as high as possible. The more frames, the…
Use the proper gear. Do not use a joypad or even joysticks. Play with a wheel. There are racers out there who are even fast with cheap wheelbases but the more expensive wheelbases like Fanatec providers often give a better feedback and also channel the forces better. If you invest in a cheap wheelbase and…
There is a trick to be a faster player. Be slow! So first of all, learn your track. See how a corner flows, is it a fast corner or a slow corner, where is the straight? Is there a corner exit that needs speed? Examine everything and build your speed up slowly. Make sure to…
The word Simracer got “Sim” in it. So choose a sim and not an arcade racer. Games like Project Cars and Need for Speed might look cool in graphic terms. But that is not what a real sim game needs. I’d recommend to get started with games like Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor2 and…
