endurance races would problably be the best way to go

Arcade races, free run STOCK cars
it's alot better to try that

Run laps in the "run and setting" section. This will give you a competition free track to practice on. Then run some endurance races. My suggestion.... run Laguna Seca in "run and setting" then run the Laguna Seca Endurance.

never used a wheel but i would assume slow cars first...

Pick an easy track, and set a good/decent time with your controller. Then pick up the steering wheel, and try to beat the ghost car... (That's how I did it..)

A few hints ahead of time (from someone who's tried out a few wheels).

Find a comfortable seat, and something solid to mount it to. Any sway or movement in the mount makes it harder to control.

Figure in that you'll need 30-40 hours to get comfortable with this wheel and then another 30-40 to get faster than what you previously ran.

Most of all, starting with stock, low power cars is an excellent way to do it. Toyota MR-2, or a Tommy Kaira ZZS. Both are solid, predictable MR cars with little over/understeer that will help you with the learning curve. Tokyo R246 or Midifeld are two good tracks to start on. Take the MR2 out on Midfield to get a feel for it.

Good luck
