What you can practise
- Five guided steps
- Engine start, first gear, clutch control, second gear and a controlled finish.
- Visible state
- Gear, speed, engine revolutions and clutch indicators show what the simulation is doing.
- Camera choices
- C cycles available views. On-screen camera buttons provide another way to change perspective.
How to use this practice
Open the manual lesson
The launch button opens the “Find the bite” briefing with manual transmission selected. Read the controls before beginning and keep the coaching panel visible. The fictional car begins stationary, giving you time to identify each control.
Prepare the simulated car
On a keyboard, I starts the engine, Shift holds the clutch down, number keys select gears and H toggles the parking brake. Follow the coach to start in neutral, press the clutch and select first. The simulator rejects gear changes without sufficient clutch input.
Explore the bite
In this simulation, the up arrow adds gas and Z holds a partial clutch position after you release Shift. Watch the displays as the car moves, then release Z. Touch users can hold and slide the clutch pedal. These are software controls, not universal real-car settings.
Shift, stop and review
Follow the coach into second gear and toward the marked stopping zone. Use brake, clutch, neutral and parking brake as prompted. Finish to see feedback. Retry one difficult part deliberately. Session results are stored locally when browser storage works; an unfinished drive is not restored as a live simulation.
Questions before you start
Will I learn my car’s exact biting point?
No. Vehicle dynamics are fictional approximations. A keyboard cannot reproduce pedal resistance or physical feedback. Explore the sequence here, then practise with an instructor in your training car.
Do I need a steering wheel controller?
No. Keyboard and on-screen controls are available. The 3D studio needs a compatible browser and graphics-capable device. The separate 2D parking studio is an alternative for positioning practice, but does not teach manual clutch control.
Does a good result mean I can drive?
No. Results describe this exercise only. They do not certify driving competence or predict a practical examination result.
