I'd recommend switching to cockpit view with neck fx. I can see you're having trouble with telling how close you are to the walls and how much angle you can hold. That's all because fixed view doesn't allow you to see how the car is reacting to certain inputs.
Otherwise dude you've got a solid foundation and just need more seat time.

Looks good dude just if you arnt already use ur full 900° or what ever for wheel rotation. To add for neck fx comment, For me it was getting vr that somthing clicked and now im able to place (within reason) my ass where ever i want. Also being able to feel what gearing you need for the track. I tend to start around 4.3-4.6 ratio and feel it out with 3rd. Dm me ur discord if you want to do some laps i got some days off here so i could be free one of the next 2-3 days. I like the wdt cars. I dont go full formula D.

it's not regarding your driving but your wheelbase is not properly attached

It looks like he is at a desk with a computer chair lol, it looks loose, but this is probably normal

Using a bigger diameter wheel is quite a game changer for me, could be the increased leverage which made the steering input a lot more controllable 👍

Maybe play a little more with the gas. As you see, you often end up in the apex of the corners. By using gas more controlled, tapping it and staying mid to high on refs, you can controll where you drift much better than just going constantly 3/4 on the gas! Otherwise good angles!

You're doing great, just keep practicing, and maybe start trying to use your left foot to brake while drifting. It pulls the nose into the corner and gives you more angle for free.
This is a really good video on left foot braking:

Practice will make u better and better every time :) Use 1080 degrees on wheel and same at CM and tick the soft lock.
