Car wont move.

[abe]

Why cant my car move when ever i try and start a race? I get this little screen and it has presets, tyres, and some other stuff. Im really getting stressed out about this, please help me ASAP.

If you are using a wheel try using the setup wizard in the settings, I have a Thrustmaster T150 and they didn'tt have a premade setup so I had to use the setup wizard to get it to work. If you aren't using a wheel I can't help.

Did you try hitting the button in the top left of the screen? That allows you to take control of the car. What you're seeing is the menu that allows you to alter your car's settings, look at leaderboards and spectate, etc, before (and during when playing online) the race

You have to press the drive/launch/race button. The first screen it takes you to is the car setup screen. It's up to you at that point to hit the steering wheel icon.

And then engage 1st gear.

Followed by hitting the gas pedal.

Someone should make a video on how to press the start button..

[Minji]

the wheel on the top left is what youre referring to? if so then i already clicked on that. and when i try to throttle up a preset bar shows up

[NTU]

Make sure your controls are mapped properly..?

[Minji]

yup they are

[swvanzy]

i have the same problem the car still wont drive
or move

[ling.speed]

Remap the controls to something different and then try, if a menu popus up on the right WHEN you press go, it means you are not pressing go but "up" on the d-pad/arrows/ whatever is bound to the pit-menu controls.

Content manager should have a checkbox somewhere to disable/change control of that pit-menu... but normally it should not be a problem unless you are trying to drive on a d-pad.

Not sure if this is the same issue, kind of depends whether you use same few cars or use different ones., but it possibly could be the ride height, found out that the game won't let you race or even drive if the ride height is lower than regulations dictate.. had this issue where the car just would not move and some message came up which didn't make it easy to understand what the actual problem was, raised it as with some cars you can and it was ok, i think the reason why it lowered is because the car was running handicap ballast...as i was trying to force a mixed grid to have the same pace......anyway this has the effect as IRL of lowering the ride height due to the extra weight...If not maybe it's some kind of odd bug, so do as users above suggest and try remapping the controls, and or doing a steam integrity check..
