Antti\u2019s tips for rally driving<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re starting with rally, these tips will help. Rally isn\u2019t just about speed \u2013 it\u2019s about control. Listening to pace notes is key. If you\u2019re not used to them, here\u2019s a simple rule: match the gear to the corner number. For example, if the note says \u201c3,\u201d approach in third gear and build your pace up from there.<\/p>\n

For modern four-wheel-drive cars, Antti has two core tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always keep the car engaged<\/strong> \u2013 either accelerate or brake. This keeps the car stable and responsive.<\/li>\n
  2. Control spins with throttle<\/strong> \u2013 if you\u2019re losing control, keep the throttle pressed and point the wheel to the direction you want to go. Four-wheel-drive cars tend to self-correct based on your steering input.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
