is it best to use clutch pedal as handbrake?

It's gonna be a problem on a hairpin to turn the wheel and keep pressure on the paddle. I tried the clutch for a while, then tried the paddles, but none of them did the trick in the long run.

I recommend the Top Red Button on the Shifter - you can grab the back panel with your hand and press it with your thumb, its very handy and gives a realistic pulling feeling. I don't know how the G29 shifter looks like, but if you do have a top button there, that'll be the best in my opinion.

It works great on the G29 the shifter paddles move with the wheel so always in the right place with my hands on the wheel, I have the right shifter paddle as the wipers too, not sure what wheel the OP as though.

I would not recomment to get used to handbrake with the clutch-pedal. It will be strange to get back to having it as a clutch.
I tried a button on the shifter, but I missed that button a lot. Now I use a button on the wheel(I still miss it sometimes, when I turn hard).
I know a guy, that built a handbrake out of a Bike-brake-handle and it would push a button on the shifter. Too much work for me, so I stay with the wheel button.

You can use a Joystick as handbrake! Dirt Rally will automatically detect the correct axis if youre careful at configuration works like a charm

I dunno, I've been using the clutch as my handbrake since Dirt 2 and I've had no issues driving my real car or driving full manuals in Rfactor 2 and Assetto Corsa.

The thing is you have 2 feet and at any point where you're using the handbrake you don't need to be using the throttle, so doing a foot dance is a lot more efficient and easier than having to reach for a paddle or wheel button while your steering wheel might be at a difficult angle.

It's not realistic to be done this way but it's also not realistic to pull a paddle shifter and activate the handbrake either, so either way we look at it we're driving different to a real car. If we're talking 1980s Group B cars then they don't even have handbrakes but they do in Dirt Rally, and if we're talking about modern rally cars they don't need regular use of the clutch.

I use a joystick as handbrake too. Couldn't work better.

I took an old cheap wheel and cut the pedals in half and put a handle on one.

Damn I never thought of that, good idea! I have 2 joysticks lying around here from flight sims.

Extra hard buttons too!

So does using the clutch pedal on a G27 make it work in an analoge mode getting progressively harder the more you push? Ive been using a button on the wheel so far and its worked pretty well but of course it is only digital on/off. But I was wondering if controlling the handbrake in an analoge way would make a big difference?

How do you even find a 3 year old thread to necro it?
