My gear consists out of a Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. Seated at a desk and chair with 1 big screen.
Problem is this...whatever i try in setups or laps on different circuits somehow i am 3 to 4 seconds slower then the really fast racers.
Last 2 days i participated in 2 audi tt cup races on spa. Registered a while ago but hesitated to race because i thought i was too slow. Both races top 10 so not too shabby but still seconds slower then up front.
Is it my gear or seating position or maybe lack of talent?
I was 3 to 4 secs slower than the fastest guys when i first started SRS 1 year ago also....I could not figure out why, everything felt good as far as my wheel and pedals on single screen. I just kept racing, getting experience, watching my incident rating go up and up, no matter how clean i tried to race and knew nothing special about setups in AC, I still don't but for some reason, I can drive some cars faster than others in comparison to other driver's lap times. Some cars i will be at the rear, some at the front, I don't understand it either, but i know practice has made me better....trying different wheel settings with a T150 was my concern, but i ended up just leaving it @ 900 degrees default in profile and 900 in the game...I bought the T3PA Pro pedals but didn't get any faster, seems like braking is more important than throttle most of the time....these guys with load cell brakes seem to do better. As far as setups go, i try the setup market app and get setups from there, but you have to spend hours trying to experiment and end up changing it to your liking anyway......so i don't know the correct answer to why others are so fast except keep practicing and experimenting trying not to develop bad habits. Practice and race so much until it becomes second nature, don't worry about being slow on the track, just glide and be smooth and race as many as you want to.....in the end the stats will come to a standstill and settle in...i see some guys get up to 600/700 in under 100 races, it took me 400 starts to get to 600 .
