When you run Assetto Corsa Rally, the game will automatically map the default setup for most modern racing wheels. While this binding is great for casual gameplay, some tweaks can enhance the responsiveness and ensure the necessary settings are handy.

Use the keybindings in the picture above to ensure you have easy access to the handbrake and the MFD. Additionally, it is worth noting that if you are using a custom handbrake or shifter, make sure to manually set it in the Settings menu. Failing to do so will assign the handbrake function to one of the free buttons on your wheel.

Best wheel settings for Assetto Corsa Rally

After you're done setting the keybinds, you can tweak specific parameters to ensure enhanced responsiveness, braking, and cornering while driving. Tweaking these values can ensure the best wheel performance while retaining the intended level of realism.

Alongside best wheel settings, we have provided the optimal Force Feedback settings below. Since FFB is one of the most crucial aspects for immersion, a perfect balance ensures you can drive in peace without feeling like you're holding on for dear life.

Here are the best settings and Force Feedback settings for your wheel:

Best Wheel settings for Assetto Corsa Rally

Setting	Recommended	Reason
Steering Linearity	1	Best to keep it at 1 for accurate steering.
Wheel Centre Offset	0	Keeps alignment neutral. You can adjust it slightly if the wheel pulls left/right while driving.
Low-end Throttle Deadzone	1-2	Prevents unwanted throttle signal and offers more precise control
Top-end Throttle Deadzone	0	Retains full acceleration range without any compromise
Invert Throttle	Off	Best not to touch unless your pedals have been inverted
Throttle Offset	0	Keep centered for a consistent response.
Low-end Brake Deadzone	2–4	Avoids unintentional input from light pressure.
Top-end Brake Deadzone	0–1	Keeps the full braking range usable.
Brake Gamma	1.4	Adds enhanced realism that offers a softer initial bite followed by a stronger and deeper press.
Invert Brake	Off	Standard configuration unless your pedals are inverted
Brake Offset	0	Neutral calibration to access the full range
Low-end Clutch Deadzone	1-2	Smoothens the clutch bite point for seamless shifting
Top-end Clutch Deadzone	0	Ensures full engagement.
Invert Clutch	Off	Standard configuration unless your pedals are inverted
Gearshift Debounce	50-100	Prevents double shifts and is ideal for sequential or H-pattern. If the delays are noticeable, reduce them till you are satisfied
Clutch Offset	0	Best to leave neutral unless your clutch engages unevenly.
Low-end Handbrake Deadzone	2-4	Avoids small unwanted pulls, especially when using custom shifters instead of buttons on the wheel
Top-end Handbrake Deadzone	0–1	Keeps full pull range active for intuitive braking and quick turns
Invert Handbrake	Off	Standard configuration unless your handbrake parameters are inverted
Handbrake Offset	0	Neutral by default. Best not to change

Best Force Feedback settings for Assetto Corsa Rally

Setting	Recommended	Effect
Gain	75–85	Overall strength of FFB. This range gives you detailed surface feedback (gravel ruts, jumps) without clipping or exhausting you. It is recommended not to go higher than 90 since it often causes loss of fine detail.
Minimum Force	3–5	Prevents a “dead zone” around the center by boosting low-level feedback. Higher values can make the wheel twitchy and difficult to control
Damper	20–30	Adds resistance and smoothness to the wheel’s movement, which are essential for stability and handling in straights. Better to keep it low for enhanced realism.
Steering Lock	540°–720° (or 1080° if you want full realism)	Rally cars typically use ~540–720°. Lower lock offers faster steering transitions in tight stages, while a higher range feels more authentic but is marginally slower.

Apart from these settings, there are a few things to keep in mind. It is best to stick between 540° and 720° rotation since this is more aligned to real-world steering ratios. Additionally, it's best to keep the FFB Gain around 75–85 since it offers enhanced realism without straining your muscles.

If the wheel feels too light on straights, you can increase the minimum force by 1 or Gain by 4–5 to get a more challenging and stable feedback. However, if you are losing grip on heavy turns and in the rain, it is best to lower the Gain.

Additionally, if you are using load-cell brakes or pedals, it's a good idea to adjust the Brake Gamma to 1.6–1.8 for smoother early response and better braking behavior. If your wheel jerks violently on bumps or when your car falls into craters, raise the damper by 30–40 to make it easier to handle. For a balanced, immersive experience, we suggest sticking to a Gain 75-Damper 30 ratio.
