I was a noob once, when I had downloaded the game for the first time in 2015. I had tried playing it, but quickly got frustrated because of the difficult controls, and my lack of knowledge about assists, traction, etc. I could play with all assists on, but could not do quick lap times. This had frustrated me and finally I had deleted the game because it frustrated me. Notable is that I did not know about any social aspects of RR3 like the subreddit or this wiki

Later on, last year (2018), I again decided to give RR3 a try, and decided to stick with it no matter what. Again I had a difficult time with the controls, but this time I decided to bw smart about it and played with all assists on in the beginning. With trial and error, I discovered that my car became really unstable if I switched off traction control. I realized this might be the key to driving better, and hence switched it off. All other assists were still on at his point of time. Later I gradually eased off by putting brake assist to low, and later after 2-3 days I turned it completely off. Did the same for steering assist. I started enjoying it more and more and in the last 9 months I have been playing, I have reached level 148 (soon to be elite)

My point here by my own example is that even potential long time players like me might be getting putt off, because of several reasons. Mine was the difficult controls and the inability to understand how to go about it. As far as I remember, the game doesn't help you in any way in this regard,and I had to figure it all out by myself. If there had been a tutorial telling me to turn off traction control for better lap times, or to do it before, and then turn off brake assist once I got comfortable, it would have been a great help. Also a better way to help us find helpful resources like this wikia and the reddit, etc would go a long way towards retaining potential players. If I had got all this, I would have never deleted the game 2015.

I hope if a game changer is reading this, and if they find my example relevant, kindly pass it to FM. Thanks!
