Overview
how to get good
basics
use a controller why because you can turn without going full turn and feathering left key is not going to get you anywhere
if your front wheels start putting out smoke slow down because you won’t be able to turn fast enough to make the corner under steer is better because you will make the corner in a flashy but not fast way by sliding around it
get used to feeling slow because you may think your going 20 mph but you are not so don’t think you are slow when turning effectively
don’t be influenced by other games like forza horizon because the driving is a lot harder in this game
drag racing and rock crawling
to drag race you need a car that is light, small, very very powerful, and has giant low psi tires on where the power is being put down for example a rear wheel drive car needs big rear tiers and a front wheel drive car need big front tiers
to rock crawl you need something with high ground clearance, low rpm but still has high torque, and a low center of gravity
drag racing
– low psi tiers on biggest tiers high psi tiers on small wheels
– light
– small car low ground clearance
– lots of power
– high rpm all the time
– don’t over heat the engine
rock crawling
– low psi tiers on all tiers
– light
– low center of mass
– high ground clearance
– low rpm has high torque
– low rpm when rock crawling
driving in dirt and tarmac
driving on tarmac needs you to have more grip you don’t need lots of power but on dirt its the opposite
tarmac
– more grip needed for sharper turns
– don’t slide at all keep
– look at the speedometer to see how fast you can turn the corner
– car need stiff suspension
dirt
– less grip more power
– you steer with the power mainly you use the wheel to guide the car to where it needs to go and step on it
– the speedometer is sometimes inaccurate so don’t always follow it
– drifting the car sideways to turn is not a bad thing because that is how you turn with big boat like cars or with cars on the dirt
– your car needs soft suspension so that it can take the small bumps and sometimes jumps on the dirt
aerodynamics
aerodynamics help you get more grip by pushing the car into the ground using the wind its generating by its speed
look at the body of the car does it have wings, where are the wings? this will tell you if the car has down force or if the wing is just for show.
if the wing is placed higher then the car then it will give down force because the air just hits the wing
if the wing is behind the car but is wider then the car it will provide down force because the air hits the side of the wings
if the wing is hidden behind the car it won’t do anything major at speeds between around 50-100 mph and on a track the most you will get on a track car is about 120 sometimes 130mph
does the car have an undercarriage then the wind flows better underneath
how big is your car because a truck will not have good aerodynamics take a smaller car it will be better
now you have good aerodynamics on your car
Now
drive badly and crash because driving good is only 1/4 the fun
