![]() ![]() For example, at a 6 it’s usually safe to imply that you can go full speed ahead at your highest gear and be relatively safe. A lot of information from that guide can be utilized in this game, but the most important thing to understand is what kind of turn you will be facing and how to tackle it.įor this I’m going to shamelessly steal the image from the guide above.Ī good thing about this numbering system is that often times the numbers can correlate to what kind of gear you could be in. They use a brevity code called pace notes. If you aren’t fully aware of rally driving, you usually have someone such as a passenger to feed you information about upcoming hazards and bends in the road. It’s important to know what is ahead and how to beat it. Your average speed should be around 30 to 60 MPH in most courses, so keeping it in low gear will benefit you more often than you think!įundamental 2: Know The Curve Be The Curve Rarely is there a straight road to fly down at 100 MPH. It sounds lame because it’s only second gear, but 90% of rallying is driving in first, second and third gear. Second gear is like 35 MPH, which is really way too fast for a lot of curves in most situations. If you accelerate at a low gear, you will straighten out faster since you will bleed speed exponentially.ĭon’t be afraid to drive in low gears. ![]() If you lose control, accelerating will usually straighten you out and help stop fishtailing. Some great things to keep in mind is that accelerating should only be done when you are driving in a straight line. It’s going to happen! The only thing that’s going to make spinning out worse is if your recovery is worse than spinning out. You should also drive around a little bit in free-roam to figure out how to recover from the loss of control. Don’t feel pressured in to driving faster! You would be surprised at how fast you are really going already. What does that mean? You’re going to lose control. You feel like you are driving slower than you really are, which means you end up going faster to make up for it. One of the biggest perspective changes is that everything looks like it’s in slow motion. ![]() The art of rally has a strange, almost alien-like top-down view which throws off your perspective in a lot of ways. If you cannot control your vehicle, you are driving too fast. If you over-drive, you also end up under-steering which means you are just continuing forward in to a field or a tree or a rock or whatever because you didn’t slow down enough to initiate a turn. If you over-drive, you end up hand-braking and over-steering because you missed your turn. This is true in almost every racing scenario, and it is more than likely the crux to all of your problems. If you lose control, it is more than likely because you are overdriving it. One of the hardest things about the art of rally is controlling your vehicle. You can’t win if you’re out in the trees. If you are constantly frustrated at the game because you can’t control your vehicle, you aren’t having a good time, are you? So crank those assists up!ĭo you know the story of the tortoise and the hare? Slow and steady wins the race every time. Don’t feel pressured in to turning them up just because you are having a hard time playing. There’s no shame in driving with assists on. Likewise, if you play with stability assist on low, you’ll get used to that too. If you play the game, for example, with the stability assist on high, you’ll get used to driving with it on high. I should also note that I play this game with an Xbox controller.īefore we start the fundamentals, I think it’s also important not to worry about your setup or your hardware. I’m not a world record holder or self-proclaimed prophet. I think it’s important for me to preface all of this by saying I am not an expert at this game. Well don’t worry! I could say something generic like “practice makes perfect,” but there’s maybe a few things you aren’t thinking of when you are taking a turn at break-neck speeds, and these things might help you shave off time-and more importantly, keep control of your vehicle while doing so. It seems like even though you’re trying your hardest, the game does its best to really throw you off balance. It’s really, really easy to get frustrated at this game. This is an English guide for new and/or inexperienced players and is intended to teach three core ideas to keep drivers safely on the road AND to help them set records in Career mode.
