🚗“𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹”, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴!🎮 For this new episode in our series “The Simracing Lexicon”, we take you on a journey to discover an essential technical component to improve your racing experience: the Load Cell. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴?⚙️ The Load Cell is a force sensor used in most simracing brake pedals. Unlike conventional pedals, which measure distance, the Load Cell measures the force exerted on the pedal, enabling more precise and realistic braking. In other words, it forces you to brake according to the force applied, just as you would in a real racing car. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁?🎮 - 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺: in a real car, braking is a function of the force applied to the pedal, not the distance covered by it. Load Cell reproduces this sensation, giving you more precise, true-to-life control and at an affordable cost compare to hydraulic pedals.🚗💨 - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: thanks to the Load Cell's increased sensitivity, you can dose your braking more precisely, reducing the risk of locking the wheels and improving your lap times. It's an indispensable asset for those looking to refine their technique and upgrade their simulator.🎯 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝘅?🛠️ If you're ready to take your simracing experience to the next level, investing in a Load Cell set is an excellent choice. Top-of-the-range models offer exceptional braking feel, but it's important to choose a model that's compatible with your setup and matches your riding style. How has switching to a Load Cell pedal transformed the way you race?🗣️ See you next week for a new term in the simracing lexicon.🚀 #simracing #pedal #technology #racing #gaming

🏎️“𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 (𝗙𝗢𝗩)”, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻!🎮 Here we go again with our weekly “Simracing Lexicon” series! This week, we're delving into an essential technical aspect for all simracers: the Field of View (FOV). 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 (𝗙𝗢𝗩)?👀 Field of View (FOV) refers to the angle of view you have in the simulator, i.e. what you can see on your screen when you're behind the virtual wheel. It's a fundamental setting for immersion and precision in racing. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗢𝗩 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴?🎮 In simracing, a well-tuned FOV makes all the difference between an immersive race and an experience where you feel “disconnected” from the track. Here's why: - 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: a properly adjusted FOV recreates the real vision you'd have from the cockpit of a car. This allows you to better assess distances, take corners accurately and feel truly immersed in the race.🌍 - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: an incorrectly set FOV can distort your perception of speed and distance, making it difficult to appreciate braking points or tight corners. With the right FOV, you gain confidence and precision.🏁 - 𝗘𝗿𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁: the right FOV setting also reduces visual fatigue and physical discomfort, especially during long racing sessions. This makes the experience more pleasant and less taxing on your eyes.😎 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗢𝗩 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴🔧 Setting your FOV depends mainly on two factors: the size of your screen and the distance at which you're sitting. Many online calculators allow you to determine the ideal FOV based on these parameters. It's crucial to test and adjust your FOV to best suit your setup. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗹🌍 In a real car, the field of vision is naturally adjusted to your driving position and environment. In simracing, recreating this sensation is a technical challenge, but essential to get as close as possible to the sensations of real driving. A well-adjusted FOV gives you the impression of actually sitting in the cockpit, with the right peripheral vision, just like on a real racetrack. Have you found the perfect setting for your setup?🗣️ See you next week for a new term in the simracing lexicon.🚀 #simracing #motorsport #gaming

🏆𝗣𝗦𝗚𝗟 𝗘 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮: 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟯 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴! A good weekend for Race Clutch on F1 24! At the race in Canada, our drivers gave it their all in race full of unexpected events: 🏁𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: - Lenny: P2 - Rhys: P15 After an excellent first stint in which both our drivers were in contention for victory, a Safety Car appeared on lap 20. Lenny showed his talent by moving up from P7 to P2, while Rhys was unfortunately penalized due to a game glitch which relegated him to P15, technical issues that are part of the game such as mechanical failures in real life racing. After the stewards' decision, we're proud to confirm our first podium of the season thanks to Lenny! We also climbed one place in the constructors' standings, reducing the gap with the leader to 13 points instead of 20.🔝 💪Next week will mark the halfway point of the season! We remain more determined than ever to achieve further victories. #simracing #esports #motorsport #gaming

🏎️The "chicane" in simracing: mastering tight corners!🏁 Today, we're going to explore what "chicane" means and how this notion plays a crucial role in your virtual races as well as in the real world. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲?🚥 In the world of racing, a chicane is a series of closely spaced, often S-shaped, corners strategically placed on the circuit to reduce the speed of the cars and add an extra technical challenge. For simracers, as for drivers in the real world, it's a section where precision, timing and vehicle control are put to the test. Good chicane management can make the difference between a successful overtake or a costly run-off the track. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴🎮 In simracing, the chicane isn't just an obstacle, it's an opportunity to show off your skills. Here's why: - Technique and precision: navigating a chicane requires perfect mastery of the trajectory. This is where every mistake, no matter how small, can be costly in terms of lap time or even lead to a run-off the track. 🎯 - Speed management: unlike the straights, where speed is king, the chicane requires precise management of acceleration and braking. It's a real dance between the brake pedal and the gas pedal to keep control of the vehicle. ⚖️ - Overtaking opportunities: for drivers, the chicane can also become a strategic overtaking zone. Knowing how to anticipate your opponents' movements and choosing the right moment to attack can make all the difference. 🎭 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱?🌍 In real-world racing, the chicane plays a similar role. It's often the place where the most experienced drivers can widen the gap to their rivals or, on the contrary, lose their lead in an instant. Legendary circuits such as Suzuka and Le Mans are famous for their chicanes, which have left their mark on motorsport history. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴💡 1. Know the Circuit 2. Anticipation 3. Smooth movements How do you deal with chicanes? 🗣️ See you next week for a new word in the simracing lexicon. 🚀 #simracing #Raceclutch #gaming #motorsport
