If hes not using the T-LCM then theres no calibration needed.
Bought T300 RS GT, why am I slow?

Good question. Can't help as on mine it just changes up with the paddles....
Are you plugging the wheel into the front port?
That's where mine is. Once I'd updated the firmware on PC, the wheel just works. switched into PS5 mode; red light on base.

Its been like 10 years since I made the switch but I think the main difference for me was the way I entered and exited corners.
When using a controller, I was playing in a way where I was either full lock with steering or in a straight line.. this changed the way you enter and exit corners and how I controlled slides.
The main thing that helped me get quicker on a wheel was to focus on easing into corners and steering out of them.
Then I started working on controlling the throttle better and trail braking
Hopefully that helps
-Ps: as others have said - it takes time to learn. Thankfully learning on a wheel is good fun

If I only have a Mac, would I be able to update this? I may need an adapter but I wonder if I can still update it via Mac.

Seems like you can but it's a pain in the butt
one guy wrote "Why not install virtual system such as Parallels? I use it every day for work and have been using if for a decade. No issues with it and this is how I update my T300 RS GT."

Maybe I’ll do this. But from what I remember someone recently saying, the new M1 laptops can’t run Parallel, but I could be wrong. I may have misread it.
Parallels does run on M1 Macs, check their website for more: https://www.parallels.com/uk/
It's often getting hold of Windows For Arm which is the problem......
Update:
I've sold the T300... Because I felt in love with this experience. But Thrustmaster was too weak for me. I want more and I am ready for fanatec. Unfortunately GT DD Pro 8nm with LC is still "sold out", so I am waiting to place an order.
My lap times improved a lot on the wheel in comparison to controller.
II will never ever play on controller, it's not fun at all.
IIf someone consider buying a wheel but is not sure if he'll enjoy it I suggest buying g29 instead.
T300 is pricy, g29 is 2x cheaper, and the experience with both wheels will be similar. Both are entry level wheels. If someone fell in love with steering wheel experience than the shift to fanatec may be the right path.
The sad part is that I am without the wheel right now. Hopefully fanatec will be available soon in stock.

From what I’ve heard most are slower when they first use a wheel.
Mostly, I think, because a controller is quicker to full lock whereas a wheel is more precise but slower to full lock. Hairpins can be difficult/slow at first with a wheel until you get used to turning it a lot....
