are back and talk about the Wednesday Night Dash exhibition race at Auto Club Speedway and hype the upcoming season in the ARCA Menards cars (see below for a link to join the league). The key takeaway here is to start with the video and then fine-tune to what is most comfortable for you. There are plenty of other videos that specifically look into the higher-end wheels.

Of course, if you’re using a more high-end wheel like a Fanatec or another brand like Thrustmaster, you will probably have completely different settings. I kept my wheel force setting at 2.4 and Erik felt more comfortable around 2.0. The auto strength function in iRacing suggested lowering my setting down to “10”. That being said, I took those same settings to Indianapolis and ran some test laps in the Dallara IR-18 with my strength setting at 48 and the wheel shook like a jackhammer the entire lap around the track. The higher strength setting on a track like Watkins Glen gave me the feeling that I had more control.

My teammate, Erik Richardson uses the very similar Logitech G29 and he set his strength setting to “10”. While using the “auto” method testing the NASCAR Cup Series Next Gen Camaro, iRacing suggested a “48” value for my strength setting. David is absolutely right and especially your strength setting will vary from car to car.
