I would also add, once you have your correct FOV set, If you don't like the way it looks, you can still set your seating position with the advanced replay camera (CTRL+F12) and save it per car, so iRacing will auto load it whenever you enter the car.

I’m gonna be honest the whole FOV thing I never even bothered messing with just due to experiences in other games like FPS games or minecraft where the game just feels off after adjusting the FOV unless you are doing cinematic screenshots. But I always just blamed my lack of experience and feel for the car as to why I was just meh at driving in sims while not even thinking about the view being as if I’m not sitting with a monitor behind a servo base. But the face it auto calculates it is amazing for helping new and old players alike get the perfect view for their setup.

Seeing that you installed Crew Chief another pit option is to add the Macro's to remove the Fuel and Tyre's on the fly. If you have the mic so you can chat in race you can just call Chief and when you hear the tone "Pitstop Clear Tyres" or "Pitstop Clear Fuel" No more trying to grab the keyboard and mouse or having to set it if you did it in the ini file and forgot to switch it off

I started just over three weeks ago and I already have a road A licence. However my attitude towards racing is different to 99% of other racers, but it helps dictate this tip that I will give you, and that is, just be out there for the enjoyment of racing WITH other people, not AGAINST other people. I say this because I know that I can’t win every race that I enter and there’s no point getting all angry, impatient or hyped up, so I make the decision to have a good time with my fellow competitors and bring home a car with zero damage. You’ll be surprised how quickly you gain safety points and earn your higher licenses with this approach. I will usually skip qualifying and start from the back, take it easy in the first few corners while everyone crashes, then just do my best. Clean, close racing is incredibly rewarding, even when you’re in a battle for 10th position! Although, I will say that if I’m confident that I can genuinely fight for a win then I’ll do the qualifying etc and give it a whirl. I had a great race yesterday in the Ferrari GT3 Challenge where I qualified 10th, and had an awesome fight with a train of five cars, passed two of them, and eventually got a podium due to other drivers running wide or crashing out.

The brake force factor is a really good one, for months I hated doing road racing because I locked brakes a lot because I couldn't get consistent with my t3pa pedal brake and then when put the brake mod on I found the car not slowing down fast enough and was wondering why because I had no idea about the force factor. especially when you are new to sim racing or haven't really played a racing sim or game with pedals before you have no idea what settings to look for , because I thought just calibrating it all in the software was all I had to do, wasn't until was watching a video about Iracing setting that I stumbled across what that setting does and why you need to change it. If I had known about the settings I wouldn't of got frustrated with the road racing which made me stick with oval racing only for months.
