How do I get my driver to steer faster? Any help would be great.
While this may not actually make the steering wheel move faster, it does help. Try setting your steering deadzones (and all others) to 0 and 100. Default is somewhere around 25 and 90. That is a ton of stick movement before the wheel actually starts moving. It helped me alot when I switched to sim steering. It is nice because the full movement of the stick causes some movement in the steering wheel. That means lighter touch is needed for correction and also more room for precision movement.
Might help if you pull the left trigger a little before you get to a turn. The slower you enter the turn the faster you will turn. You have to remember that your tires can only do one thing at a time. You can turn, brake or accelerate. Your tires can’t do two things at once. So try braking earlier for a turn. Then enter your turn and then as soon as the car is pointed where you want it to go accelerate as smoothly and fast as you can without breaking traction. You would be surprised how fast you can go by going slow. For example if you are fighting with a car all through a turn chances are you are entering the turn too fast. Slow down until you are not fighting the car through the turn. If you can hit it consistently then try taking it a little faster or braking a little later until you have it perfect. Rivals events are great for this because you can pick a fast rival and see what lines they take and try to emulate them. You can also see where their braking and turn-in points are. Also in rivals you do not have to deal with other drivers on the track or psycho drivatars. Remember when you do get to racing it is a little different than hotlaping or rivals as you may have to adjust your racing lines to avoid other cars or to overtake or defend a position. There are of course tuning and build that will help a car turn better but I will let a build/tune expert go into how to do that. In my opinion you should adjust your driving style first before you tune.
I think you guys have misunderstood him im pretty sure he’s talking about the drivers animations…ie; he steers every car as if it was an F1 car. No 540 or 900 degree movements. If you watch cockpit views of PCars you’l see what im talking about.
If I’m reading it correctly, then he’s asking a question that I’ve also had for a while; it seems to me he’s asking how one would reduce the amount of time between putting the steering on the controller in full lock and the driver of my car getting the steering in full lock. One can go from driving perfectly strait to having the controller input saying ‘turn right as hard as the car can’ almost instantly, whereas, even (or especially) at slow speeds the driver of the car seems to take quite a while to getting the steering wheel all the way around. So the amount of time between the controller saying full lock right and the driver in the game emulating that command can be somewhat large.
It’s called Speed Sensitive Steering. It’s something that has been covered here on the forums numerous times.
It’s an aid for controller users to prevent dramatic direction changes. PC Sims have a setting to adjust it, but console games (GT and FM, specifically) do not have an adjustable setting, so you’re kinda screwed. In short, Speed Sensitive Steering decreases steering speed and degree the faster you go. The slower you go, the faster and sharper the degree of turning. Without Speed Sensitive Steering, traveling at 180MPH and turning the direction of the joystick could cause your car to flip. It’s a way for the game to handle 900 degree turning on a joystick.

The reason this issue keeps being brought up means they need to at least give us an ability to adjust it. It’s so slow it feels like a slight lag or it feels unresponsive. People like this slower steering so making it slightly adjustable would help the people who think it impairs the handling of the cars being too slow. I would start playing this game again if it happens.
i move the left stick as far as it’ll go either way. and, the steering wheel only goes so far.
I don’t remember where I found this, but it’s jotted in the margins of my tuning guide notes:
Steering speed increases as caster decreases, but grip through sweeping turns decreases.
