while H2 RWD is significantly slower, it can be a struggle learning on RWD, but it instills very good braking habits. if the speed is too much, move down to H2 RWD. Personally, I recommend learning on Group A or 4wd Up To 1600. use the handbrake when you really need to get the car sideways. on tarmac, avoid powersliding at all, it provides no time advantage. Only powerslide when you know your route. as for the car not steering, you aren't braking hard/early enough to slow down in time for the turn. Shift when you KNOW you're going to go faster or slower than your current speed ahead of time. do NOT lock the wheels (ironic coming from an ex-keyboard player, i know) don't do both at the same time.īrake gently and steadily. braking sends weight to the front of the car, ergo providing better traction and handling.īrake, THEN turn.
REDDIT DIRT RALLY TRIAL
(exception: time trial leaderboard grinding) it can be very hard knowing that every mistake is your fault, but please don't give up. get used to the audio cues for when to shift.ĭon't hotlap.
REDDIT DIRT RALLY FULL
Only full send the throttle when you know you can keep it on the road.Īvoid looking at the dash/meters as much as possible. to go at any reasonably fast speed, you need to know AND visualize what's coming ahead. The most important thing is interpreting the notes your codriver (phil) delivers. I used a keyboard for 80 hours and found consistently found myself in the top 30% for online challenges, and very consistently the top 250, sometimes 50, on Time Trials. The game is made for wheels, yes, but anyone can get proficient with their tools. Tl dr "I'm Wyatt from Team O Neil Rally School, and today we're gonna learn about." If you can nail the basics, you will better understand when and why the e-brake is used. You'll start getting the feel for the cars and the controller soon enough.ĭon't worry about the handbrake just yet - it's an advanced technique and you don't even need to utilize it until you start driving the faster cars, and even then you want to use it sparingly anyway. Don't worry about finishing first - just getting to the end of the stage is an accomplishment in and of itself. Ultimately the best way to learn is to keep driving - start with the slow cars and really focus on not crashing. All the questions you asked they have answered in their library. Team O'Neill has so many good videos it is worth watching all of them. There's so much info out there, the best part is real life rally techniques can be applied in game!įirst things first, get your controller set up correctly:
