Can you use clutch when driving?

[MISTER WU]

I aint fired the game up since the last build but wondering if you can hold the clutch in now when driving? I need this feature to feather the clutch out of and around corners sometimes when the car bogs down and i dont want to change back to 2nd gear and listen to the car screaming for its life.
This is my driving style i guess but instead of braking mid apex, sometimes i just roll the clutch in a little to take the edge of the engine compression and use the oversteer-weight transfer to enter into the apex.
I also need the ability to drop the clutch and light the rear tyres up to get some heat into them some times....you know like they do in real life!

I get new pedals tonight so might get a chance to test.

With a manual clutch you can do that on most of the cars, but some have an automatic clutch anyway that you can't override.
But your driving style needs work if you are slipping the clutch. It'll be slow, and it'll break pretty quickly when clutch damage is added to the game (if it ever is).

ahhhh ok, yeahmate i only tested the mclaren but its weird not being able to light the back tyres up hey

If you want to light up the rears, turn off traction control. The only way you can set 'manual clutch' at least from what I've seen in the settings is if you have the starter sequence set to manual.

Since I dont have enough buttons on my wheel for all of the in car adjustments, wipers, lights etc. I had to do the same thing. But I was still able to use the clutch to get my back tyres lit up to right my car after a spin.

I'll also agree with Tristan about your driving style. Sequential gearboxes are designed in a way where the clutch is used only when leaving the pits, or keeping the car from stalling. Using the clutch to get the car turned in will lead to blistered rears and a burnt out clutch.

Yes so far i can use the clutch, I can save the car by using the clutch when i feel the car starting to spin.
some cars are a little sensitive to get moving from a standstill, and I can't do a burn out i'll give it a go with low tc, since the keyboard assigning works i mapped all the settings to my keyboard and only use my wheel for the driving

[MISTER WU]

No worries i shall try that but i did have TC off to start with.
Like Sax, i use the clutch to catch it sometimes.
