My First Racing Game - Got any tips?

Recommended Posts

Finally giving a racing game a chance. With DiRT being my first, I figured I would throw a post here to see if anyone had any tips for a complete beginner. If you would like to hangout whilst I am playing as well, I will be streaming my experience.

Well if this is your first racing game you have really jumped into the deep end, all I can say is good luck and don't be afraid to restart a stage 100 times :)

First of all, patience, this is a difficult game, and mastering it is a challenge.

main thing: go slow to start with, learn the car and driving techniques. Search for some tutorials on YouTube. Another suggestion of make is go in the settings and turn off parts of the HUD like split times and other distractions.

listen to your co driver, he's very important. 1 left = slow corner. 6 left = fast corner. Square left = 90 degrees. Hairpins and acutes are very tight corners. Don't cut means DONT CUT THE CORNER! And a crest is a hill or brow.

Hope this helps, and enjoy the game!

we all got through it, so don't worry about it, but it will hurt­

more seriously, be patient and learn to drive, it won't be easy, but you will have fun
