Easy on the throttle and don't mash unless you are pointed in the right direction. In general terms, the more you are turning your wheel, the less throttle you can give. An example instructors use is picturing a your throttle shoe lace being tied to the steering wheel. As you turn, your foot releases and as you *unwind* the turn, you can apply more throttle. RWD especially can be tricky with throttle on loose surfaces, so definitely only throttle when pointed straight while learning. Other than that, you have to force yourself to learn to left foot brake to help stability. Maybe practice some stages while applying left foot brakes the entire time to help get a feel for it. The whole stage, even while going full throttle and just modulate the brake. Also if you are not using manual, you have to. If gives so much more control.

I'm much faster in road racing, but principles are the same. You have 4 tires and they all have max grip. A brief liftoff of throttle going into an corner will put weight on the fronts to help turn in. That is fundamental. Trail braking is also massive. Typically coming into a hard corner, you want the initial brake application to be hard and fast, just short of locking the tires. Then trail off the brakes and ready for throttle at the apex. Rule of thumb for road cars is 80% braking done before turn and trail off the rest of the 20%. If you force yourself to go slow and working on hitting the *apex*, everything else will follow. Definitely turn off the HUD arrows and just use the copilot. He will screw you sometimes, so listen carefully and as always "Trust. But verify"lol If you're using an H shifter, you have to force yourself to learn to rev match/heel toe. And left foot braking is more crucial in rally than any other discipline I know of. The best help I got from that is get your left heel in the ground like your right is when it uses the throttle or brake. You instinctively want to mash the brake with your left foot at first because its muscle memory says to mash it like a clutch. But, left foot braking doesnt take as long to learn as it initially seems. Hard braking = right foot and revmatch Stability braking with no downshifting = left foot braking. A handbrake was too much for my rig, so I had to get rid of it and not having it definitely hurts some of my times, but it isnt the end of the world. And yeah, Louise Cook is a beast of a driver. Really surprised she hasn't secured a legit sponsor in real life and hope she does. She appears to be quite fast on the F1 sims, too.

Would love some Group B RX setups. The only thing I can figure is raising the gear ratios and using tons of left foot braking to keep the boost up. RE Porsche GT Tarmac, a little softer on the suspension seems to help a ton as does increasing camber in the front. Over all, still needs a lot of left foot braking. It can help to use higher gears if you're having trouble, so the rear doesnt get loose as much.
