Re: Clutch Paddles for Starts?

@kaijuh1 F1 cars don't have clutch pedal like in road car with manual transmision. In real life f1 drivers have clutch asigned to button on wheel if i'm not wrong. For gear changing they don't need to press it. It's automatic.

In game it's similar. I've got my clutch asigned to right paddle (gear up) and you just need hold it on race start, rev car up then realese and car start moving.

    @C4rdi4S yeah I know they dont have a clutch pedal but I know they have clutch on the wheel for race starts and anti stalling. I thought i would need to get a wheel with 4 paddles but I will just need 2 paddles for this game

    @C4rdi4S This is half right, half wrong. No, F1 cars today don't have a clutch pedal, but they DO have a clutch PADDLE. It's on the back of the steering wheel below the shift paddles.

    When you see drivers doing practice starts at the end of practice sessions it's in part to get a feel for the clutch bite point and to help the race engineer fine tune the clutch bite as well for the expected track conditions on race day.
