Slow Cars?

[burgerbait]

For some reason all of my cars are really slow. Even online with people in the same car and setup. It makes online play pretty much impossible as everyone just blasts past me and I can't even finish the drift challenges without being disqualified for taking too long. Anyone else getting this or know a possible fix?

That's a problem that's common with keyboards and especially controllers. The turning speed is too fast and you can't adjust it. Personally, I'm waiting for an option (slider) to select the turning speed of the wheels. Those who blast past you either use wheel or have the Steering help turned on.
Though even with controller it's pretty doable to finish the race just with some seconds left, spend less time on trying to get angle, your average drift speed should be 70+ km/h.

Thanks I just tried it with the steering assist turned on and my cars go much faster. That's not how I want to play the game though and I actually think it makes it harder to get decent angle. The annoying thing is that I have a wheel but I haven't found a way to get the clutch pedal to work and there's no way im going to play in automatic. I guess I'll just have to wait and hope the devs can do something about it.

What's wrong with the clutch pedal, is it even recognized by the game? Or does it act like it's always pressed?

I have a Thrustmaster TX with T3PA pedals. Everything on my setup works apart from the clutch. The clutch dosen't even get recognised by the game at all.

after checking all your settings are not the issue. look at your wheel size, wheel width and tire pressures.
your wheel size and width should match the weight of your car, i use vds guidelines as a rough guide and go from there...
Max Profile of 30 for all sizes

900 kg - 1049 kg = 245mm / 18in Wheels
1050 kg - 1249 kg = 255mm / 19in Wheels
1250 kg - 1299 kg = 265mm / 19in Wheels
1300 kg - 1349 kg = 275mm / 19in Wheels
1350 kg - 1399 kg = 285mm / 19in Wheels
1400 kg - 1449 kg = 295mm / 19in Wheels
1450 kg - 1499 kg = 305mm / 19in Wheels
1500+ kg ======= 325mm / 20in Wheels(edited)

the fast ppl online usually keep throttle pinned leaving a corner on the rev limiter and that kicks them out of corners fast.
tire pressures effect cars alot, i never use over 150psi, depending on car handling if rear end whips out too much adding more psi to front(less front grip) can help.
if car over rotates mid drift adding more psi to rear can help.
youtube guides can help but be careful who you learn from, id stay clear of TYskidmarks the guy is a donk.

Thanks for the pointers but my original comment was made in September 2017. My wheel didn't work with this game at the time and I think I refused to play controller with assists on. I think the issue I was having back then was that I wasn't doing a semi circle sweep with the thumbstick when steering assist was turned off and it caused the front wheels to constantly be scrubbing and thereby reducing my speed. It was a long time ago though so I might be wrong.
