Hi people!
I have always enjoyed played racing games, but leaned more towards the arcades games. I am now looking to move into PC-based aim races. I have invested in a Logitech G25 setup and my PC is high spec enough to play any game. I have a few games in my Steam account such as F1 2013, Dirt 3, Grid and just bought Race WTCC cos it was next to nothing, RaceRoom cos it was free, Simraceway cos it was free and Assetto Corsa as I had credit in my Steam account. I am one day hoping to get into iRacing as I like the idea of a virtual career, but will wait before subscribing.
In the games I have previously played, and my fanatical interest in watching, reading about and loving them, I am mostly into F1 and Touring Cars.
I have spent the past couple of days playing F1 2013, Simraceway and Assetto Corsa non stop. With assists on, I am not too bad and have a fairly good idea of racing lines, learn tracks pretty quickly etc. However, as soon as I turn the assists off i begin to spin, lose traction and struggle to hook up one good lap.
Should I carry on with the assist, turning them off in time to keep me interested and keep me going or should I turn everything off and just put the hours in now to learn, at the risk of losing interest and getting demotivated?
Any tips on being a beginner in sim racing?
