    Anyone use racing gloves?
    If so, which ones do you recommend?

    Nope, I only used them in real life.
    Gloves won't make you quicker ;)

    It won't??? Damn it lol

    Seems like bike or karting gloves are the way to go.

    I think ideally I just need them for better grip, in longer events is all. Probably won't make a world of difference though :)

    On a side note, I really do need some tuition to learn how the alien drivers do what they do. Some races in the past I've been so far off pace yet I think I'm driving fast and on the limit.

    I use gloves from fast track sims
    Had to patch the left one already due to wear
     
  5. I had the ones from Jacques Villeneuve bought on eBay. His signature is stamped, not real and they look more like go-kart gloves. For info, they are blue. Or they look like gloves for mechanics. Anyway, unless you have a Fanatec wheel, it's kind of useless. I was thinking of buying the ones from Vettel or Raïkkonen but for a Thrustmaster wheel, wearing them then putting them off is a bit cumbersome. I think it can even defocus you from your own driving... but that's only my impression. If you want to buy a pair of racing gloves, it's good if you find the ones you like. If it's what you desire, so go get some :)

    When I had my Fanatec GT3RS wheel, I found the suede covered rim was starting to be affected by my hands sweating, so I bought some cheapo Gym/Fitness/Weight Lifting gloves with half fingers which work great once bedded in. Can be had from £2/$3 'ish from ebay.

    Have you tried going out running in minus temperatures? They are designed to keep your itty, bitty, little fingers warm :)
