Quote from Mille Sabords :

H shifter + clutch will certainly slow you down a little bit, but you will enjoy the races better. Your choice then!
You can also look for specific servers that only allow clutch + shifter, they do exist - in case you want to compare.
Hardcore (clutch + shifter, amd the car proper rotation ° - i.e. 720° for road cars) IS slower, but not so much that you can not compete.

Race_S setups are not horrible for learning the tracks, but clearly not good enough to be competitive.
Try to tweak them or use one of the 2 databases for setups around (look for team inferno or setupgrid)

Have fun!

Yes i think i'l look for those hardcore servers to give it a try, and i've dicided to keep using the clutch + shifter, it's just more fun . Although the f1 and the faster cars by default dont use the shifter so its eazyer to change gears at fast speeds.

Hi although i've been playing for a few months i havent introduced myself to the forum yet.
So my name is pedro im 18, my ingame name is also higarian and i started playing lfs shortly after buying my logitech g27. A friend of mine strongly recommended it to me and i loved it so mutch that short after i bought S2.
Im still kinda slow and a bit unfamiliar with the tracks and cars but i hope to get some tips here in the lfs forum to improve some more.

Oh and btw i just have two quick questions, Is it ok to drive with the h shifter and clutch or does it slow me down alot ? and Are the standard race_s setups any good?
