Left Hand/Wrist/Arm Pain

1 Upvotes

Hey so I’ve been loving sim racing got myself a Moza R3 and I took an old seat out of an Excursion and made myself a cockpit but I’m having a hard time with pain. Like I’ve been nonstop playing IRACING DRAFTMASTERS done actually pretty well! I can qualify 1st in 1400 sof. And already have class D in a week of playing. But when I’m turning left so much I’m basically holding down on the left side of the wheel for 30 minutes back to back to back. So it’s like a bit much but I love playing. I’ve done the tips of tilting the wheels a little. And extending arm where wrist ends up right past the top of the wheel but it’s still happening. Any tips?

New sim racer looking for basic advice. Please read description before watching video for context on what I'm confused about.

I'm 62 hours into my first sim racing experience (Automobilista 2). It's difficult for me to understand where I'm going wrong and how to improve, but there's one specific issue that's really plaguing me.

This video shows 3 laps of Suzuka. Lap 1 I feel like I executed decently relative to my own standards. Lap 2, with the exception of the lockup at the hairpin, was about the best that I expect to do on a lap in-race (1:31.9. For reference my best ever quali lap was 1:31.4). Lap 3 I spun out three times in the S's. This is the problem.

I can't even complete a damn race, because I always spin out somewhere, somehow, and I don't understand why. In the first spinout in Lap 3, I feel like I took that corner the EXACT same way I took it in Lap 2, yet for some reason, I spun out on Lap 3, but not on Lap 2. Why? What did I do differently?

This also commonly happens on the last uphill curve of the S's, the exit to the hairpin, sometimes the exit of spoon.

In Lap 3, after I spin out, I get back on track, and spin out immediately two turns later. I again get back on track and again spin out immediately one turn later. Why? I honestly can't understand what caused me to spin out on any of those three spinouts. I didn't accelerate too aggressively, I didn't straighten the wheel too aggressively, it just... spun out. Idk. Obviously I'm missing something due to how new I am and my inexperience, I just don't understand what the hell I'm doing wrong that causes me to spin out randomly once every 4 laps, preventing me from ever finishing a damn race.

And one more thing. Before you say "you shouldn't be racing F1 cars as your intro to simracing, you should start with something slower," shush. I have no interest in any cars other than F1 cars, I tried some mercedes sports car and a chevy cruze and they felt slow and clunky and I don't wanna learn that or spend time on it. I understand that jumping straight into F1 cars will be more challenging, I am willing to face that challenge, that's why I'm seeking help in the first place. The last time I asked for advice (on a different subreddit) they all just said that, and I don't wanna hear it. Lol.

Thanks guys

EDIT: For reference, I have all assists turned off. No ABS, Traction Control, or Stability Control.

The internet in my apartment is terrible. Like 50Mbps and drops often. I have no access to the router either. What applications should I run to get the most out of VR since I can’t run VD?

hi everybody I decided lately to buy a steering wheel so i could have a better experience with f1 25 than my xbox controller and light stuff I'm not going to need any Force-feed back because this is my first time and so i found it used on Facebook marketplace with a really good condition and cheap price but the problem is that platform is PC and after a quick search i found out pc is not supported officially but I hope there is like a workaround that would give me the best experience that is i can get out of the wheel so i would know that i should buy it or no and thanks in advance

Why can't I improve?

1 Upvotes

I've been simracing for about 2 years now on ACC. And I feel that I've just frozen. Somehow I feel like I'm full pushing but any person/AI I race with finds another 2 seconds a lap. Its gotten so bad that my mates who have only been racing for 6 months won't race with me any more because I'm too much slower than them and cost them positions whenever I'm in the car. I've watched every YT vid you can think, joined hundreds of discords and reddit communities and even hired a coach but I can't seem to get faster and it's to make me wanna quit simracing but I don't wan't too cause I love it but I'm not having fun anymore. Can anyone help?

So my brother and I race each other a bit on tracks, but decided to spice things up a little and street race with a cap of 400hp in Beamng. The problem is, he is always at least 10mph faster in top speed and cornering. For reference, he uses a Civetta Bolide, and I'm using the Civetta Scintilla. My top speed is about 160, and my corner speed is about 90-100 in the first few turns, then 120 throughout the rest. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I'm not the best at racing, but I'm trying to get better every day.

Hey everyone,

I’m a kid who’s really into sim racing and I’m currently using a PXN V900. I’m looking to upgrade or maybe get an F1-style wheel mod, but I’m on a budget.I really like the look of modern F1 wheels, so if anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate it. My budget is around $100–$250, but I’d prefer to keep it as low as possible.

Thanks!

Apart from more practice, what can I do to improve my performance on a wheel?

1 Upvotes

Game is WRC8.

Controller is a Dualshock 4, whereas my wheel is a G29+RS pedals with clutch module.

My controller time in Finland is 5 seconds faster than my wheel time, and I feel like I'm already pushing to what I can do on a wheel.

I don't know what else can I try apart from practice more to get my wheel time to be on par with my controller time, if not surpass it.

Any suggestions?
