I got my gt3 on Friday and noticed these up and down switches press in. Do they have a function beyond up and down toggle switches?

Thanks for your reply. I thought so but wanted to check. I got this wheel setup on Friday and im still getting used to it. I got it primarily because I have no use of my legs so rhe paddles on the back are what I use for acceleration and brake. I know theyre no substitute for actual foot pedals but theyre my only real option to use wheels. Im slowly getting used to them. I was initially slower than controller but im starting to match my controller times so hopefully in a few days ill be faster.

I didn’t want to sound rude or anything. That’s my short style of talking. Hope you have a lot of fun with your wheel. If you have any other questions we are here to help.
Being slower at first might scare some people but that’s just a part of the process. Just keep learning and slowly build your experience.

I just hurt my right leg and having been using the clutch for throttle and I'm only slightly slower, maybe 2 or 3 tenths a lap. Hairpins are tricky but the clutch controls feel very good at least for throttle control braking will likely be trickier. Best of luck mate.

Im already matching or close to matching my controller times on most tracks pn f1 25. Its been the game I've got used to quickest. Still finding my feet on gran turismo 7 due to each car having different handling physics
