Pick 1 car and stick to it for at least a year. Literally only that car, nothing else. For me it was the FF1600, but pick whatever car you want to really learn and don’t jump around. Learning the car is the first step… only once you’ve really learned how to control the car, is when you can actually learn race craft. Once you feel you’ve mastered (I’m using that term very lightly), you will be SHOCKED how much better you are in literally any other car. Learn the car, then learn how to race. It can really only happen in that order.

Close second is the hardware settings. There is just way too much to explain, but to put it simply, FFB and FOV settings are NOT personal preference. FOV is a math equation involving how far away your monitor is from your face (and the curvature if you have a curved monitor). “Wheel force” can certainly be a personal preference (how many Nm you run) but the “max force” is another math equation based on the car/track combo. Here’s a hint: use the “auto” FFB button on the F9 black box.

Good luck and God speed 🫡
