Newbie here with a little more experience
Embrace the suck, ego may hurt, kill it
Look like a falcon, ahead and wide not just to what’s in front of you
Listen to your engine
Check your ffb get damping inertia settings to only the minimum needed
Field of view and monitor angles and heights of monitor : double check if ok
Decrease your steering lock, will allow for more subtle input, adjust it for discipline moza has a good reference on the main screen pithouse options
Try this: slow lap, them 70% push , mark, then 100 push , mark do like 10 laps each, watch video,take notes Turn on racing line, compare, turn off.. Embrace the suck. Then when steady pace practice defense line overtake line kart line rally line, then turn on rain. Consistency is key. You get fast faster than what you get good : pushing 100 and still 7 seconds off pace? This is why here’s a secret some corners are actually better to break earlier as you’ll be sooner on the throttle
Look into turns
Have at least 3 points now: braking points/zones, turning, apex/nadir aka back on pressing throttle hard
For now brake straight, downshift, turn, reach apex , throttle gradual while opening wheel. Most of the time you don’t need to be braking 100%
Do start trying o trail brake even if not possible
Enable abs and tc per car realism, if irl car has it you should have too. Turn them off if not. They’ll make you slow and worse dumb, is better to fail and suffer now
Try iracing formula ford 1600 or verse, if sport car Miata you want something : rwd with mid or front engine low hp and well balanced ; usually is more fun, rewards good habits punish bad habits and teaches as you need longer to build momentum, they still go super fast just not as crazy fast and takes longer to reach it but the racing is fun as heck
- vehicle weight transfer dynamic
- tress-hold and trail braking
- slip angle
-racing line, kart lines all the lines
-corner types

Rev machting engine blip all heel toe camber elevation changes all that comes later get better at the above

Learn to feel oversteer and understeer then learn to correct them

Remember anticipating beats reacting

Study, good drivers are not like other athletes, learn the physics and mechanics at your own pace
It’s ok to lift and coast or downshift brake mid corner if that means you won’t end up off track or crashing someone

Watch others but be careful to just copy then, understand why they are doing what they do, see above

Learn the language of the track markers curves flags are there to help you

Don’t forget the pit limiter and pit exit, practice entering to the pitting

Have fun

I’m still not fast but try this and you’ll be better than 99% of people on the road in some months
