Hi, when I'm doing the daily races I often get wheel spin down the straights when in top gear losing me a lot of speed. Does anyone else get this and how do you stop it?
That... shouldn't happen. Torque at the wheels is lowest in the highest gear, so it simply shouldn't generate any wheel spin at all.wheel spin down the straights when in top gear
No not riding the break. it happened down the long straight at Le Mans and up the hill at Spa when your at the top end of the cars speedAre you maybe riding the brake? Otherwise as the others said. This should not happen.
The TC is on 2Very odd thing to hear about. I would ask about assists, but I doubt that would solve it. Wonder if this is bug.
Odd question but are you sure it's wheel spin you're hearing? It sounds like the car is hitting the rev limiter in top gear which would make a similar sound from the engine.No not riding the break. it happened down the long straight at Le Mans and up the hill at Spa when your at the top end of the cars speed
How do you attach a video it doesn't seem to let meThat... shouldn't happen. Torque at the wheels is lowest in the highest gear, so it simply shouldn't generate any wheel spin at all.
Do you have a video of this?
Upload to YT, (PS4 will do that for you) and then share the link, is the easiest way imo @Skywalker55
Ok this is just a small example as I don't have much time. As you will after turn 1 I get lots of wheel spin where I have to fully lift off the accelerator to stop it otherwise it would have continued up the hill in every gear.
Wheel and pedalsAre you playing on a DS4 or wheel? It may be a bad R2 button (ds4) or gas pedal.
I’ve had both.
I would say check your gas pedal for any defects. Maybe it needs a good cleaning. What kind of wheel?Wheel and pedals

You need to clean the potentiometer in your throttle pedal as I'm nearly certain this is causing the issue.Wheel and pedals

Ok thanks I will give that a go, much appreciated 👍You need to clean the potentiometer in your throttle pedal as I'm 99% sure this is causing the issue.
WD40 make an electrical contact cleaner which will do the job.
Maybe just cut a few laps on your DS4 with your wheel disconnected to confirm it's definitely the pedals.Ok thanks I will give that a go, much appreciated 👍

You... don't need to film your screen. PS4 records everything it sees. All you need to do is tell it which bit you want to keep - you can even trim and edit it on the console if necessary - and you can upload it straight from the console to YouTube.
Wow I didn't know. Where do I find this that would be great.Yep, knackered pedals. Or at least fritzy pedals. Definitely worth a good clean.

Otherwise, have a look at that video that I attached to the above post... Some people take the entire potentiometer apart to clean it, but otherwise you can just spray the contact cleaner into the hole (like in that video) and it should work for a while.
You'll need to keep doing that whenever that issue happens (hopefully not very often).
Edit: Brake pedals with that wheel have the same issue, so I'd probably give them a clean while you're at it...
If you click on the link I posted it goes right to the PS4 user manual pages on this function.Wow I didn't know. Where do I find this that would be great.
Hi, I'm getting an error code when I try to upload using the way you said. CE-39896-5Upload to YT, (PS4 will do that for you) and then share the link, is the easiest way imo @Skywalker55
I think it has to do with a failed upload clogging the system. Look in Share Factory and Capture Gallery and see if there's any pending uploads. If so, delete them.Hi, I'm getting an error code when I try to upload using the way you said. CE-39896-5
Hi its not wheel spin although that's how I described it, its more like the accelerator pedal it malfunctioningAre you actually experiencing wheel spin or are you just referring to the TC light flickering? It cuts in on every gear.
None of which you can do in Daily Races - and which isn't related to the issue, which is a dodgy pedal.There are several ways of fixing this:
-Make the lower gears go longer.
-Reduce the LSD initial torque setting, or/and the acceleration setting
-Increase the rear wheel camber
