Hi guys,
Thanks for your previous answers. They were very helpful.

I know I ask a lot of questions, but my goal is to race online
and I need know what you guys use an what allowed to use.

1. Do you use automatic or manual gear shifting when you race?
I tried full automatic and automatic downshift and didn't find much
difference.

2. It seems to me that when I press the brakes pedal the brakes immediately
lock the wheels
although my axis have 50% sensitivity. Do I press hard because I am not used
to the sim yet
or I need to adjust the sensitivity?

BTW, I still can't find/don't see the times for the driving school.

Thanks in advance,
    Igor

Try to press your brakes as you would a real car. You don't stomp on
the brakes causing your wheels to either lock up or make the ABS kick
in each time you're coming to turn. Why do it in your F1 or GT car in
your sim. Just apply a little brake pressure and you won't lock the
wheels up, but you'll slow down just like a normal car. Believe me, it
took me a while to brake my habit of slamming on the brakes in GPL.

As for the online racing, I just followed the settings and "rules" in
the following web page. If I can drive safely on my own using their
settings then I can drive safely when playing online.
