Introduce Yourself

Nah, its not hard, unless you mean with clutch, as thata a bugger, lol, wouldnt worry though as there will be any assist races too, I hope, lol

I'm using controller so definetly with no clutch

Most use controller I think, you can swap buttons so swapping clutch to one easier to press at same time as gears isnt hard its just I keep forgetting, lol

Screw that just stick to learning manual lol

I mean you can swap what each button does so swap the bumper button to the a button in the game controls, its easy but I forget to press clutch button, lol

Nah I prefer no clutch unless I have a wheel

I tend to race no clutch, and sometimes with abs too

i think i run with every assist apart from full line but i am slowly learning to use manual

Thats ok, I change mine dependant on the car, faster the car more assists, lol, I even went auto in my indy races, and it worked for me so dont worry about what ppl say about assists you have to drivehow you feel best

yeah i normally love using automatic most of the time but thought cause everyone seems to be using manual alot these days and it seems faster than automatic that i would give it a go

It is faster but again it depends on by how much, for me its more crucial in slower cars as you can drag every last rev out before changing gear but in high speed cars its sometimes better to concentrate on other things rather than gear changes

yeah i found that out today when trying out a car on freeplay and thought think id better stick to the lower class cars to test manual out lol

Im sure you will be fine, its just practice, no doubt you will be beating me too soon, im sure everyone cheats, lol

nah i dont cheat lol i just drive like a girl hahaha thats good cause i am one

Theres no reversing or parking so you should be fine

nothing about drifting either lol

Only thing drifting is me to sleep, im off to bed now, meant to be up at 6, lol

lol btw on your website it wont let me post it says i have to have users granted special access to post on the forum

When I figured out I was getting beat by manual w/clutch, I restart my career, using man/clutch from the beginning. Didn't take me more than a couple days to get it right.

And its much quicker, up to two seconds per lap.

Clutch looks hard to use I have to first learn manual before I try clutch

If you upshift with the B button, and downshift with the X button, set the clutch to the A button. Then every time you shift, hit both B/A or X/A simultaneously  it works perfect, and is nowhere near as hard as you think.

Hi Lisa and welcome to the team!!

Like Mikey said if you go into the settings menu there's an option to switch the clutch and handbrake, so A becomes the clutch and the left bumper becomes the handbrake. Your thumb is naturally hovering over B or X anyway when your changing gear so it becomes second nature really quickly to press A at the same time and will make quite a difference to your lap times.

im good on way up gears but for some reason on way down i miss the clutch,lol

Sounds like you've won half the battle, keep practicing and you'll get the other half.

And remember to thank me when you find yourself a lobby higher than usual in the next VM race meet.   

but if it goes worse can i then blame you,lol
