Failed massively again. I chose to retire rather than actually DNF this time - I was trying out my new wheel, and the settings aren't quite right yet, and I struggled to control these cars already. Lost a wheel on the first corner :) Normally I get a few points over the season simply by finishing, even if I'm last - but with a few DNFs and lack of free time recently I think I only managed two races this time round. Still, good fun :)

wheel takes some time to get used to i guess. but if you had wheel already shouldn't be too long to get used to new one.

if you wanna try my settings:

pkexec ltwheelconf --wheel DFGT --nativemode --range 540
notify-send "Logitech DFGT Range changed to 540 degrees" -t 4000 -i messagebox_info


ingame i have 45% saturation and -3 linearity, rest is default


also polkit rule to not having to use sudo on the ltwheelconf changes

Season completed. First post updated. Will try to make a new one tomorrow. Lets hear some Car Class suggestions!

I'm fine with any class as usual. Maybe something we haven't done in a while? Although I guess we shouldn't pick another RWD class right away.

My Wales was a bit of a mess. I think I did one relatively clean stage, and that only because I drove really slowly. Lots of spins, a few rolls and off road adventures, and some penalties to boot.

I had fun though. The game ran smooth as butter with my new GPU.

We could do all cars in order. Start in the 60's and go through each until the 2010's. That would keep us all occupied for a while lol.

EDIT: @Xpander, Congrats on your Win. You really set the bar high. I very much enjoy trying to beat you.
Quoting: Xpanderlots of useful information and settings

This is great! Thanks for this - I sort of assumed the G920 would carry the same settings as I'd used for the DFGT, but it has its own set, so returned everything to defaults - I couldn't remember what I'd set the wheel range or saturation at - and couldn't remember if I was using positive or negative linearity. Your settings are certainly pretty near to what I was using - though there's quite a different "feel" to the wheel in a lot of places, which will still take some getting used to (i.e. the pedal stiffness is very different, for example).

It turns out the mistake I had with controlling was I'd changed the wheel from 900 to 540, but left the saturation as it was, and it ended up massively over-sensitive. Anyway, all sorted now :)

Anyway, thanks so much for this, and thanks again for running these tournaments.
