The point
After this lesson your rig is set up to teach real technique, and you understand why your first hundred sim hours belong in a low-powered car.
Half the answer, free
The Technique
- Wheel: 900 degrees of rotation, force feedback strong enough to feel the front tyres load and the self-steer torque in a slide, but not so strong it clips to full resistance. The wheel returning itself through a catch is the single most important signal the sim gives you.
- Pedals on the floor, seat distance like a real car: knee soft at full brake, wrists on top of the wheel rim with straight arms. Train the position you will drive in.
- A clutch pedal and shifter are worth having early - clutch kicks are a core initiation and a thumb-paddle teaches you nothing about the shock load.
The rest is under the glass
The second half of the technique, the common mistakes, the drill and the safety non-negotiables open when you book a trip that runs drifting. Your booking unlocks this whole library.
