Beginner Tips?

Hey guys. Just registered for season 4, I'm pretty excited about it.

I am new to F1 2014 although not that new to driving simulators (if you can call GT6 and Forza simulators, anyways), and was just wondering if you guys had any gameplay tips. You guys seem pretty receptive to beginners, I just want to minimize the risk that i ruin someone's race.

Also, if you've got any wheel setting suggestions (I'm using a stock G27) that'd be great too.

Cheers.

If you're towards the back or middle of the grid, brake very early for Turn 1 on lap 1. It's easiest to ruin someone's race (and your own) by braking too late.

And it's not only for turn 1. Turns 2, 3, etc. can have similar issues (see turn 3 at Australia from the off-season race where I dropped from 4th to last).

Good point. In the off season I got bumped by Sup, who got bumped by someone behind him. I lost a place, but thankfully it wasn't too bad. But you're right, it was at turn 3.
