Hi all - this xmas treated myself to a PS5 along with a G29 steering wheel as Ive become more and more obsessed watching the likes of SuperGT/PxCam/Tidgney playing a game that I have had no access to.
My gaming background in racing games is super limited - would always race in manual as I struggled to co-ordinate changing gears on a controller, I am certainly a steady driver in general in racing games (allbeit a somewhat safe one) but now going manual and looking to play without traction control where possible.
I wondered if there were any "basic steps" to getting good? I watch track guides if I'm racing and the likes, but I feel like I'm missing a number of tricks - obviously I'm not going to be great overnight but wondered if there were some key ones that you particularly helped improve your times/racing.
For instance I have no clue which adjustable settings when racing I should or shouldn't be using (understand weak ABS is favourable), also is there a "best and worst" way when taking corners - understand its hard to steer under braking, but feel like I'm missing something basic when it comes to changing gears (when to change up/down) whether this be on fast paced corners or the slow ones where required to drop to 1st/2nd gear - is it best to change them all in one go or keep it relative to speed?
Any additional tips or perhaps pointing me towards videos that could help would really be greatly appreciated, hope to be around here more often in the future!
