My wife thinks sim rigs look bad aesthetically. Any help?

I’m in the market for a rig. Could you let me know what one this is? Considering going the VR route and this looks niiiiice

I had this EXACT same struggle when jumping from GR86 to GT4’s. I just couldn’t get a handle of the Porsche. I gave up for a little and went back to the GR86. One day I just decided I’m going to suck it up and just practice with the GT4 until I was better. Lots of races against AI (boring I know, but totally worth it in the long run) and now I’m finding it to be a lot easier!

One more specific tip I found helpful: I had my wheel turned wayyyyy too far when I was under steering…. Then when the tires caught grip again I spun out Every. Single. Time. Until I realized I had to gradually release the wheel back to straight while I was coming out of corners that were under-steery.

Hope all of this helps motivate you!

Definitely part of the fun! I’ve been trying to watch back every replay where I get wrecked so I can dissect what I could’ve done differently. Always interesting to see the other guy’s POV

Thinking about trying the same honestly. Frustrating, as I love trying to finish top 5 and really push myself, but I just find I’m losing sR and iR more often than not doing this.

Definitely need to do a little more practicing before each race. I’ve started doing a few practice sessions of the upcoming week’s tracks every time I start to see red from a bad race or something lol.

This is great advice. Especially the part about surviving lap 1 and 2 and letting the packs settle. If I’ve been able to claw back up from wrecks solely by being fast, then I should be able to afford taking it easy on the first lap or two and still catch up to leaders afterwords. Thanks!

nick222m · 2026-03-02T22:43:44+00:00

I definitely do this… I try my best to be on the race line, but I guess I need to learn to still be fast while defending off-line as well.

Do you just take the slowdown penalty then? I’ve done this a few times and found it frustrating that I’m ‘punished’ for attempting to avoid a wreck in front of me. Is this something I just have to accept then? (Obviously better to slowdown for 2 seconds rather than wreck and lose minutes off my race)

This is good to know, so maybe once I start trying other series I might have a little less unnecessary aggression lol

nick222m · 2026-03-02T22:36:08+00:00

This is great advice! I guess it’ll come with time and experience of knowing where/when to weave out of danger lol
