    Hi all..

    New to sim racing and especially, R Factor 2... Awesome sim!!

    ...but, am I doing something wrong..
    At race starts, I have tried revving engine, dumping clutch and nothing happens.. Car just sits there..

    Are my settings messed up? I calibrated everything on the Fanatec pedals and wheel..

    Thanks in advance!

    Did you put the car into first gear? Or use automatic gears?

    Tried everything.. Car in gear, revved engine, popped clutch, car stalls...

    I have to ride the clutch and ease car into forward motion meanwhile getting rammed from behind by AI cars.. LOL

    I calibrated clutch,, I'm at a loss..!?

    Can you make a video of it happening by any chance? It sounds like you should have no issues. Does it happen on every car, or only one specific one?

    Yeah, what car you are using? Some cars have an engine inertia bug that is not allowing for fast starts, unfortunetly.

    It has a "bite" point like a real clutch. Are you used to driving manual cars in RL?
    You can't just give it some revs and dump the clutch, you still need to get the clutch somewhere near the biting point to allow it to slip enough to get the car moving before lifting off it entirely.

    Make sure you turn off all driving aids.
