Been 1 week now and have the basics all down pretty much but am looking to learn some more stuff to make me a better driver. Any website that's good for this sort of thing would really help me I think (not necessarily only video sites, cause I have dial-up but any text based site would be great). Thanks for any links.

Check out our FAQ forum. There's some good basic stuff there in text form. -
Theres a bunch of vids I downloaded from a guy who races cars in an M5 who teaches you about manual. From soft launches to hard launches, rev matching and heel toeing.... I'll try to find the site again.Comment

Basically you just have to practice. Don't try heel toe, double-clutch at first. But do try to get used to single-clutch rev-match from your day 1.Comment

Yeah, I was frustrated too. Seems like a lot of good info on that site and I was dissappointed whe nI couldn't get them to work eitherComment

Once you download a vid from there.. you have to wait a really long time to get the next one. I think it took me about 6 hours of waiting to download the whole collection.
They are pretty instresting.
The heel-toe method is best shown to you in person by someone who can do it rather profectently.Comment
