The RA (Real-time Adjustment) Function

The Wireless Controller allows you to change various driving options and settings while you race. This is known as the "RA (real-time adjustment) function". To use the RA function, go to Options -> Steering Controller, select your steering controller, then assign the RA function to your preferred button.

Gear Stick and Clutch Controls

If you are using a steering wheel controller that has a gear stick (such as the TH8 RS shifter for the T500 RS controller) and a clutch pedal, please be sure to select Manual (MT) transmission from Driving Options. When you start racing, paddle shift will be selected, but you can change the mode by performing the following actions:

  • Using the gear stick -> The gear stick will automatically become operational.
  • Stepping on the clutch pedal -> The gear stick and clutch will automatically become operational.

Using paddle shift controls in either of these modes will automatically switch back to paddle shift mode.

There are certain cars, such as those with torque converters, CVT, dual clutches etc. for which a clutch pedal cannot be used even if manual transmission is available.
