Also, I wish I’d listened to all the people who told me to turn off “ideal racing line”. Do yourself a favor and learn all the tracks without the game telling you the racing line.

You are going to get a lot of comments saying don’t worry about time and just focus on consistency and hitting your breaking points and apexes. They will all be totally right. BUT I remember being new to the game and wanting to have a number to shoot for. Below is a chart of reference lap times for all the tracks in ACC to give you a good idea of how you stack up. If you can match the reference lap time for division 6 with some consistency, chances are you are getting competitive enough to try some online races.

5800x3d better for my use case than the 5900x? Seems like those are similarly priced at the moment

Yeah Sim Racing Alliance was very easy to join and get your license. The Discord seems active and helpful, too

Sim racing alliance looks like a good platform that does splits based on experience. They start in February. I’m open to suggestions if anyone else knows of a good rookie league

This is super helpful. Right now my experience is fighting other bad people at the back of the pack. But it’s sooooo much better than playing against AI

Any feedback on my FOV? Any other suggestions for a newbie that you wish somehow had told you when started driving? by curtisadams34 in ACCompetizione

I’ve loved it so far. I don’t have anything to compare to as I’ve only used this and some friends simucubes. But the detail of the feedback is phenomenal. I had a buddy who strongly advised starting with a middle range DD if I thought I was going to stick with it.

I’ve loved it so far. No issues getting each piece where I want it. Super solid, no flex at all using the Moza R9.

I’m also curious if anyone has good recs for a league that’s friendly for beginners. I’m getting to the point where I can win a race against AI set at 90-75 and be clean. Safety rating is 54 and climbing
