Hello guys, my name is Colin and I will leave some tips for beginners here. If I find something to tell, I will edit this post.

Tips and Tricks
HOW TO KNOW THE CARS, TRACKS, STAGES AND CONDITIONS
1. If you start the game, and you are at the very beginning, I recommend you to start with Time Trial mode.
2. If you want to experiment all the game, and don’t know how, go to a random number generator app or site and type the CAR number (you have to count all the cars, in my case 42 with 3 dlcs.), COUNTRY number (standard game 5), STAGE number (I think the biggest is 12), CONDITION number (2). Random these, make sure to REPEAT them, and put them in a 4 column table. You can put how many races you want.
Base game:
Hard: Argentina
Medium: Australia, New Zealand, USA
Okay: Poland, Spain
For example, it should look something like this:
Tick the races you completed and cross the ones you didn’t.
DRIVING ASSISTS
3. As for the DRIVING ASSISTS, depends on how much you have experience with the wheel in your hands. Yes, having a steering wheel is NECESSARY! Even a cheap one is way better than a controller or a keyboard. If you really want a real rally experience but you don’t have enough experience, I recommend having ABS and Traction Control ON, everything else turned off.
Note that DRIFTING is something normal in a rally game.
RALLY CLASSES
4. For the Rally Classes, I consider that the cars with 400+ BHP are the hardest to drive at high speeds, especially the RWD (Rear Wheel Drive). Group B 4WD and GT Rally classes are the hardest, then comes H3 RWD (Lancia Stratos) and NR4. A lot of power to the ground achieved fast and being in the 5th or 6th gear in less than 10 seconds. This can cause you to crash a lot. Preferably drive patiently and get to the finish slowly until you can master all the corners and the car itself.
PACE NOTES
5. If you are native with one of the languages in the game (you can choose in the Options Menu the language of the co-driver: English, Spanish etc.), which I am not, you can turn of the Proximity Arrows and see if you can handle the track only with the speech of the co-driver. If you are like me, you can turn them on OR you can do something funny: turn the speech OFF and tell your brother to read for you the arrows on the screen, playing the game in the CO-OP mode. 🙂
CAREER MODE
6. You start with the Fulvia, repairs are free, everything is okay, but if you buy expensive cars, the cost of the repairs is going to be high, as well.
7. Instead of cars, I recommend spending money on STAFF, not on CARS.
OTHERS
8. Try to play with a pair of bike gloves (with or without finger extensions), it might be useful.
9. If you have a cheap wheel, like me, you can use the X and A button for up and down shifting. Personally I prefer to have the handbrake on B and turning on lights on Y. Camera change on RB.
Thank you for reading, If I find something more to write about, the guide will be constantly updated.
