Why do I keep sliding around?

[Pausedmenu]

Hi everyone, I'm a noob at this game and I am still trying to get the hang of the physics when I keep sliding around. I somehow manage to spin on a straight when I make a small correction to my course.

I'm not sure if its my setup, my controller, or me just not understanding the game.

Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Missing some key details here. What controller are you using and what kind of realism settings do you play on?

Xbox 360 controller and Xbox One controller should work just fine with the defaults from my experience but I've seen others that have had problems with them. If you are playing on settings that are closer to real then you will find that since this is a simulator harsh inputs ( example: steering 100% right or left) will almost always result in spinning out. Especially in faster cars.

The best way to get used to the handling is to do a practice session and just keep doing laps. Start slow and then gradually go faster and faster around the track. Apply throttle and brake inputs gradually and steer smoothly as to not upset the car and you should get relatively good after an hour or two of practice.

I think I figured it out. I was playing around with the settings and I changed my speed sensitivity setting, and that fixed it.

I typically catch on to sims pretty quick, but this seemed especially hard
