Just take your time learning the wheel. I was hopeless on mine for close to 5 months. Was around then that I started testing some dailies. I focused on retrying a lot of thr license and missions on wheel. And did all the weekly challenge races until I was in a spot where I wasn't going to be a huge menace to other drivers. But it's come along well since then.
Been rocking daily A and it's a shame so few people try it. That car is a blast to sling around. Had 1 or 2 races with wide gaps everywhere but a lot of ones where it's nice and close. Normally like Brands so wanting to check that out next.

Thanks for the encouragement. It's a slow process eh, that's why Race A only so I don't ruin anyone's DR.
I find I miss a lot of apexes, I am turning in too late and I think because on dpad one had to really square up the corner and I am looking forbthat line rather than carrying speed mid corner with an earlier turn in.
I am also struggling with awareness, I am using bonnet view so no rwarview mirror, on pad I was using chase cam but that feels wrong on a wheel. I've no real sense where people are, hoping it comes with time.
It's a fun race with the merc, I am very competitive with B drivers until the last corner where I get eaten alive, I am so, so slow through that chicane.

I'm back at it after taking the holiday weeks off. Race B is my pick for this week and I hope I can get my DR up to Rank A by the end of the year. I tried the one of the BMW cars, Sprint/Endurance I don't know, and set a time of 2:01.9XX. I entered a race but the car was sliding around to much for my liking and I did spin in the esses and finished P12.
So, I switched to the GT-R and saw an improvement in both handling and quick time. I'm down to a 2:01.6XX with lots of room for improvement. I should be a good week for me as Suzuka is one of my favorite tracks to race at.
Unrelated to Gran Turismo, but I also got into Balatro recently and I'm having fun with it.

Sounds rubbish mate and I just got to the other side of my fanatec issues which ended with me buying a new base 🙂↕️ be sure to plug it in to a pc and download the new drivers and new firmware, should be 464
That’s all I got 🤷♂️

I’m no expert and your issues sound more serious than what I was experiencing with my DD pro (random disconnection), but I resolved it completely by ditching the supplied usb cable and using one I got with a Logitech keyboard! So may be worth a try if not already done.

Couple of things to try:
Remove the wheel shaft, re seat it and tighten the clamp again (upgrade the clamp to an O clamp rather than the single screw D clamp)
Power everything off and turn the PS on first then power on the wheel.
Try using the USB port at the front of the PS as this doesn't get as hot as the back ones.
Question: do you get the controller disconnected pop up?

At the time when it happened, no notification, which is even more worrying! After work today will try to check for firmware update, will check the shaft clamp and see if I have a better USB cable (I already attach to front port of PS5) and hopefully something fixes it! If not, will be writing an angry email to Fanatec (wheel set bought June 2023 so should be in warranty still) but I am aware their customer service is way below par..

It's nice to see some old members come back after a long hiatus, @NevilleNobody and @Redneckchef. Welcome back to the daily race club. How's life been going for you two? I don't own a wheel anymore because some of the settings are confusing and I may get a leg or foot cramp by pressing on the pedals, plus I don't think it will help me that much. And it would be even harder to keep up with the crowd in certain races that are tuned. Well I need to work on some more laps at Suzuka and Brands Hatch. Now, what car to choose. That's the million dollar question.

Race C at Brands for me this week - it usually gives me some good results, and hasn't disappointed so far.
4 races yesterday were enough to get my SR back to the top of S, DR I'm less worried about, but I've been saved from dropping to C!
Went 9th to 3rd, 8th to 3rd, 12th to 4th, and 12th to 6th - usual story, keeping it on track whilst others are running off track is the key to good results.

This is the axle drift problem. You need to loosen the axle clamp, reseat the axle and then tighten the clamp back up to 14NM.
If you’re still using the original clamp then it is crap. You should replace it with a stronger two bolt model.
I did this and my disconnect issues went away and it has been reliable for well over a year now.
Fanatec Customer Service is hopeless. Just buy a new clamp (assuming that’s the issue) and be done.

I'm DR D and SR A and GR3 is a no go! Unless you can start in the 1st 5 spots, other wise it's a wreck fest

Well Tuesdays debacle was a certain pink coloured car who started on pole and proceeded to go slow and whack everyone off who tried to pass and chaos ensued - really bizarre and never seen such silly stuff
I guess I’m most frustrated because I get one race at lunch and I’m managed to get the time down slowly and I’m met with this garbage
Raarrr 🤣🤣

Don't let that lowercase fool you

Cross replied, apologies mods please merge. Sorry.
That sucks just on the limited time front. When said driver is doing that there is usually some sort of issue with someone/people in the lobby.
I had 2 very fast and very clean races with said person but have also had a few not so fun ones as well.
My tact now is just to race him cleanly, I don't think they have an issue with me personally. Avoid what you see other people doing things like ramming or barging past etc, just play his game and this applies to almost all of us the guy is damn fast and in our lobbies if wanted to win he could easily.
The mind boggles sometimes as to the behaviour but I don't let it drag my day down. It's part and parcel sadly of online gaming

There’s a Brock I’ve never heard of! Maybe a distant relative 🤣 I don’t tend to to bump into many Brocks, but on his wiki page there’s a few! Even a team Brock 💪
I’m liking that 😆
