DiRT Rally Hits Steam Early Access

Got sub-7:00 on Kathodo Leontiou in the Fiesta after a break from the game:D Still hella fun but how do I get faster without crashing and making mistakes?:p It's quite a hard game on a pad.

Is 6:47 a terrible time for Kathodo Leontiou?
 
Judging by the top times, you'll get around 5:40, which is unreal:p Tips are always welcome, though. I'm still in the process of adjusting to the game again. I've definitely gotten a bit better and it''s easier to drive on instincts but I'd still like to get better than slightly above average.

Also, Codies, puhhhlease make some paid DLC! I can't believe crappy games get a tonne, yet this masterpiece doesn't:( I'd rather spend money on new content for this than buy new games.
 
im not that good at greece just done a casual one run throught got 5:56 which put me 8th so right gearing and tweaking differentials probably 7-8 secs off that.

so a top time will be 5:42-5:44

try putting your times to compare personal best and try locking all the differentials to strongest setting and short gears.

if you dont understand the gearing just go towards or start at the shortest then gradually raise them towards stock. see if you quicker than pb.

if you slower then try from stock towards longest

Will do, thanks. I've already experimented with long and short gears before and I prefer short gears on the Fiesta. I'll tinker with the diffs and give it a go, assuming I can finish the whole stage without crashing too much:p
 
Dg, thanks for the diff tip, shaved almost 10 seconds off that last run:D It could've easily been 20 secs but I still hesitated a lot and made many mistakes:(

Don't try going flat out at 1st, drive smoothly slow down for bends so you don't crash as much this will help you learn the stages.

Speed will come as you learn the stages and your times will improve.

Turn traction control off, etc and learn to drive the car with out them.
