Love the content. Keep it up! You have helped me enjoy Dirt Rally 2.0. I played it when it first came out and got frustrated with not being able to control cars outside the fwd.
Hi there, i am from Brazil and your advices aré perfect! Thanks so much, i developed a Lot with your Help! you are direct, and save a lot of time, if your video has 20minutes because everything its important!!!! please dont stop to make videos!!! one little suggets..., make more videos with how to set up the cars from rainy days, snow etc!!! i love your material!!!! tears!!!
I found that on gravel dropping the ride height on the rear wheels to almost all the way down really helps with traction through corners. Leave the front ride height higher. It’s simple but makes a huge difference.
Great tips. You are a very good driver. This car certainly was more of a handful im DR1.0. I remember running it on the Sweden snow stages and just trying to get clean runs (not even fast ones) without plowing into the snow banks, it was absolutely brutal lol.
Regarding toe vs camber in this context..... I think of toe as controlling the car’s initial willingness to rotate, and camber as what controls the car’s rate of rotation. So if I want reduce the car’s tendency to start spinning, more toe-in. If I want to slow down how fast the car is able to rotate after it has started spinning I increase negative camber. I like a car that I can get to rotate easily, so I usually go with .20 toe-in, and then adjust rear camber to keep it controllable.
My tactic for driving RWD cars like the Escort on gravel/snow is to go full Ari Vatanen, sideways through every turn. A little sideways to every turn at about half throttle, then open the taps at the apex using the steering to point the car in the right way. Loosen the roll-bar to 0 at the rear and put lots of diff lock, gets you a really fast exit even with the tires spinning, though you must go sideways, otherwise you'll understeer into the trees. I honestly don't even care about traction on gravel, just floor it like a madman On tarmac though I try to keep it tight with a little bit of powerslide, and especially on Monte I'd feather the throttle to not spin the car
I actually put 20° toe in on the rear for just about every car I use, cause you can hit sharp corners fast and that toe in on the rear will literally push you out of the corner whereas you’d normally slide over the edge.
I honestly haven't been playing much Dirt Rally lately and I haven't had any good ideas for videos, but I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad they helped you!
These videos are great! I love this game but I struggle a ton even handling the AWD’s from group A, but these videos are helping me learn a lot! And if you could make a video on how to keep your car stable in all drivelines that what be AMAZING! Looking forward to your next video
Thanks a lot! I don't have the money for a G29 or another steering wheel, so I have to use joypad (I still enjoy the experience so whatever). Thing is that with RWD is quite difficult to catch up the rear and I have to rely on the tune up! Instead, I don't have any problems with FWD and 4WD cars. Keep up the good work, thanks a lot!
Wow, didn’t thought that this small tuning details makes such a difference! Could get nearly 7 seconds quicker with the Renault 5 Turbo, my absolute favorite car in the game(!!), on my same stage and a lot of tryouts with vanilla and your tuned set up. I am really bad at doing good set ups :=(... Would like to see a more detailed set up vid especially how high, stiff the RWD cars should be set up at Poland and New Zealand for excample. Thanks a lot for this Great Vid, hope to see more of this stuff from DR 2.0, especially for the RWD cars. An Abo for you!!
Bruh ! How come this channel has this less subscribers... u deserve way more .. or just keep on posting videos like these .. U will gain subscribers in no time.
Your videos are the most helpful that I have watched for dirt rally 2 so thanks and keep up the good work and also can you make a video on how to save a car as it will probably be helpful to lots of people. Thanks :D
Thank you I really appreciate that! As far as that is concerned it's pretty hard to break down how to save a car, but I'll put some thought into it and see if I can come up with a good way to put it in video form.
Great content. Would love a video explaining your thought process and technique through very fast (especially narrow sections) with bumps. (All drive types )
Basically just try not to overthink things, make small adjustments, and hope you made the right corrections lmao But all jokes aside that's not a bad idea, I might just do that!
One thing that I have found is very helpful is a sense of how big your car is so that you can know how wide of a line you can take and in an RWD or AWD car, how much you can slide and if in a fast narrow section don't make massive corrections. Just know that I am new to this game but I have done a lot of rally racing in project cars 2. Hope this helps : D
Toe Angle on the front you can set to negative (RWD). This helpful for playing with controller bacause yout get countersteer effekt as soon as the weight acts on the outside wheel. But set not much for high speed stages USA/Finnland/Poland, and especially not so much for tarmac. Another thing: you can set the Differential Drinving Lock more open. Braking lock and Preload more locked/ higher. Soften the rear antiroll bar.
Rear toe-in... Thanks for explaining it to me, that actually helped me immensely. Not just in this game either. Tried out its effect in Forza and BeamNG too. I think you just made me level up!
We appreciate this video. Thank you :) I've always preferred RWD and you've given me some confirmation bias-- I mean insight on how to get better! Vamos amigo
Great videos man. Im waiting for my g29 to get delivered and not having any experience in sim racing, ive been watching your videos in preparation. Lots of good info and youre hitting a lot of points that I had questions about. Cheers!
I have a question, I have no room for a dedicated handbrake in my setup but I found a way to bind both paddle shifters to my handbrake, do you think there’s any limitations there
My previous video was all about working the balance of the car to throw it around corners, check that one out it should hopefully answer your questions
I just opened this video. my plan is to make 3 runs with default setup and with setup based on your recommendation and post results here. and thank you for you videos!
So i just did my runs, i've selected Greece, Pomona Ekrixi, Dry (5+km). Modified setup as suggested in the video - rear toe: 0.6, rear slow rebound +2. 1 run, modified setup, 4.01.501, place 201 2 run, default setup, 3.52.608, place 131 3 run, modified setup, 3.54.359 4 run, default setup, 3.48.136, place 87 5 run, modified setup, 3.47.692, place 86 6 run, default setup, 3.45.378, place 65 7 run, partially modified setup, 3.40.774, place 36 I'm not very good at this, on this particular stage i'm 20+ seconds slower than the leader, i can only imagine where you can find those 20 seconds in these 5km so all this is my personal opinion and feeling. Having rear rebound set on +2 keeps wheels in the air after bump longer. which to my taste makes car understeer on hairpins and under heavy breaking for me, so last 7th run i've made using rear toe set to 0.6 but with default dumping setup. So 2 biggest differences for me during my test runs were 1. stage familiarization, this affect my time more than car setup at the moment 2. increased toe angle making rear dumping +2 makes reduces my time and makes car more difficult to drive for me personally But this rear toe angle trick is amazing - thank you!
I recently picked up D2.0 and Im enjoying the Lancia 037 Evo 2. I just posted a global top 50 time with a stock setup on Mount Kaye Pass full and I have no idea how to tune the cars and the issue like the video shows is that its a super fine line between a controlled slide and the rear just stepping out like mad. 2:23.
Great video! But I have a bad feeling the answer for is simply going to be: get a steering wheel. I doubt a gamepad will ever have enough fine tune control for this kind of thing. But then again I feel this game deserves a wheel and proper pedals to be enjoyed to its fullest potential.
I've only recently started uploading videos like this, I've been streaming on Twitch for a few years but didn't know what kind of content I wanted to make for this platform until a few months ago. But thank you, I'm glad you like the videos!
My trouble is that right 6 might mean a smooth easy right 6, or it might mean there’s an unseen mini chicane, then a right six that is 3 feet long into a hairpin
A tip I can give you is to be smooth on the throttle mid-corner in FWD cars. They tend to straighten itself out when on throttle causing understeering out of the corner. So be smooth with that to keep the car in the right angle in the corner. Setup-wise you might want to soften the Roll Bar a little bit on the front to keep traction on the inside wheel to lessen the effects of understeer. Also a little bit more negative camber can help for better initial turn-in while on throttle. And last but not least put the brake balance more towards the rear to lessen the workload of the front tires.
@@bartterp88 Hello again, I've been fiddling around with the tips you gave me. They work like a charm! Really helpful, the cars handle better and are a lot more enjoyable to drive. Still challenging of course, but more predictable. Thanks again!
@@Drummercommander good to hear, glad it helped! Yea as soon as you get used to FWD they are actually quite fun to drive. You can push them initially a lot more into the corners compared to the RWD, where the back-end of those cars swing dangerously wide into oblivion sometimes. :p
Is there any chance you could go over your wheel and ffb settings for the g29? I just got my first wheel and am finding going from controller to sim wheel really hard. Keep up the great work by the way great content!
Ok so I go into tuning and it only allows me to toe in on my front tires under the alignment setting only allows me to mess with front tires at all and I can’t find a group b Rwd car at all lol what am I doing wrong
Good video. But you have omitted the fact that some of these cars do not have an option for Rear Toe adjustments. Same with the Ford Escort MkII which you mentioned. So please show us how to counter oversteer for cars with no Toe in adjustment. Thank you.
Nice! Thank you much for the tips bro, Huge difference!! I have 2 questions, whats kind of wheel and pedal set up do you use? (I'm looking to finally get 1 for my ps4, and one that will work for the ps5 when it comes out) And what kind of little Marshall amp is that!? I noticed the soundproofing squares behind you and figured you might be some kind of musician, then I saw that Marshall! Do you play and record guitar?
I'm glad they worked for you! I have a Logitech G27 wheel, but I don't know that it will work for a Playstation, the newer versions should work with one though. It's just a 15 watt Marshall MG15DFX I got for free years ago, but it still cranks pretty loud. Since this video I've moved to a new house where I was able to get my drum set also in my room and I'm actually in the process of setting up a little home recording studio.
@@RoadsideTV08 Very cool! Thanks for the reply, Your own studio... That's awesome bro! 🎸🎸👍 I own a small guitar shop here in Mass. I've been playing for over 30 yrs. but that was just fun, taking luthier classes and building and repairing is where I can make a little xtra cash, and help younger musicians with there instruments (stringed) Here's the link to my FB page. facebook.com/Ipswich-River-Guitars-106563420706171 If you know anybody in New England send em my way!! Lol, Thanks again bro.... Mike.
That's super cool, I started playing maybe 15 years ago but kinda stopped playing for the last maybe 6 years so I'm in the process of relearning a lot of things, which is fun but also annoying lol. Unfortunately I don't know anybody in that area, I'm from Wisconsin haha
I can only do a couple races each evening. Its fun, but very very very intense. It was rage inducing... I uninstalled this game a few times. Waited a few days and came back for more. Im now down to where I can drive Front wheel and rear and keep from completely tearing up my car.
Yes, but how do you actually DRIVE a RWD car? Its like there is absolutely no relation between wheel and pedal movement and where the car is going, I've gone from coming 1st-3rd place at historic events in FWD to 28th place in RWD.
Hey, great content. You're helping me a lot. I see that a lot of people use a Logitech wheel. I'm currently struggling to find a good setup for the force feedback, could anyone help me by showing their setup? C:
Actual reason is Codemasters fucked up the physics engine for rear wheel drive cars so every time theres a weight shift the car takes it as an extreme.
Lift off oversteer in a rear wheel drive rally car with softish suspension on bumpy loose terrain is a very real phenomenon. A major issue that even he is doing is being extremely snappy on the throttle and brake. When he said "that was my fault that was just a bad line" he did turn in a little early but the reason it over steered was due to the braking and then sudden power application. Car dipped forward all that weight onto the front tires nothing on the rear so it's going to turn in sharp as hell then he reapplied the power. The car leans backwards quickly as all the weight is back there and the front tires go light meaning at the speed and angle he was at he couldn't correct. Smooth application and having the weight where it needs to be (outside front corner typically) before every turn is critical but on mid engine rear wheel drive the effects are much more noticeable. Let me end this by saying his tips for tuning are good and I'm sure the guy is a fantastic driver. As a matter of fact I've seen him in other videos and he is absolutely fantastic. He is trying to explain a technical subject, drive at high speed, and articulate his thoughts in an understandable concise manner while filming with no script. That makes things a ton more difficult. I'm not bashing the guy by any means I couldn't do that and the dampening is a problem in this car (especially on this stage) but there are typically a lot of driving errors with these cars. The OP stated it is an over exaggerated weight shift. It isn't. The spring rate or dampening may be off a bit and a lot of it is driver error because it is genuinely hard to tell weight transfer via a 2d screen. Having been given the opportunity to drive an MR2 being setup to run in the ARA and having prior racing experience in dirt track, single track enduro, and hare scrambles this game is pretty damn accurate on surfaces and weight transfer. Especially gravel it is fantastic at. If you really want to know about suspension tuning specifically dampening tuning there are a lot of good videos on UA-cam and good articles for doing it with motorcross and enduro bikes. Now a motorcycle is different obviously but the concept of what the shock and spring are doing is the same and it's a good way to understand fast and slow bump dampening and rebound dampening, spring rates, and why your spring needs to have some sag / preload for going over dips to maintain contact with the ground. The videos break it down really simple because a lot more people are working with mx suspension that is very sophisticated than rally suspension so the information is much more available. Take care hope it helps. Also subscribe to this dude because he makes fantastic dirt rally content.
Dang, you can talk while driving, and I can't even remember to blink.
haha... Preach!
Need more practice
Hahaha dude same I look like I’m sobbing at the beauty of the game nah I just haven’t blinked in 5 minutes
I tried to scratch my head while driving a RWD car and had a full make out session with a tree
😂
Because of this video, my driver finally game a thumbs up and wasn't screaming at his co driver. Thank you so much !
For the quality, you deserve more exposure to the community. I love your work!! Keep it up man!!!
It all comes with time, I only recently started making these videos so I'm still in the very early stages
Definitely! How does this guy not have more subs?!

you are direct, and save a lot of time, if your video has 20minutes because everything its important!!!!

I found that on gravel dropping the ride height on the rear wheels to almost all the way down really helps with traction through corners. Leave the front ride height higher. It’s simple but makes a huge difference.
If you see footage of Escort MK2's, you will observe precisely that. Squatting rear
Do you have to drop the ride height or can you just increase the spring rate a bit? or both?
Great tips. You are a very good driver.
This car certainly was more of a handful im DR1.0. I remember running it on the Sweden snow stages and just trying to get clean runs (not even fast ones) without plowing into the snow banks, it was absolutely brutal lol.
In DR1 this car was nuts, in Dirt 4 it was disappointing to say the least, but in DR2 I feel like they nailed it
@@RoadsideTV08 Have you driven it in real life to have a referencepoint as to how it should be?
This is exactly what I needed to see. These RWD cars can be like walking a rabid squirrel on a chain. Thank you!
Its almost entirely about the balance.
Thanks mate. This alone made a world of difference for the handling. 👍
Regarding toe vs camber in this context..... I think of toe as controlling the car’s initial willingness to rotate, and camber as what controls the car’s rate of rotation. So if I want reduce the car’s tendency to start spinning, more toe-in. If I want to slow down how fast the car is able to rotate after it has started spinning I increase negative camber.

On tarmac though I try to keep it tight with a little bit of powerslide, and especially on Monte I'd feather the throttle to not spin the car
Omg this video helped alot i went to the time trial to test it and for once i was actually able to finish a course in a RWD in decent time
I actually put 20° toe in on the rear for just about every car I use, cause you can hit sharp corners fast and that toe in on the rear will literally push you out of the corner whereas you’d normally slide over the edge.
just got back into the game after years away. your channel is a goldmine. thanks dude
Man I literally shaved about 25 seconds on this set up, good content bro!

I try my best
Excellent content with good quality that has helped me alot. Subscribed!
Your car is never unpredictable you just have to get used to it and predict the snap oversteer.
Max ffb helps too
Thanks dude! As you just said, im struggling with the escort,so this was really helpful.
thansk for this, i just started with the Dirt 2.0 and this helps a lot
I can finally drive the Stratos! Thank you!!
I like the use of the clutch! Didn't know there was this option! BTW, you got your left sock on your right foot!
Another tip is avoiding MR Car
Front mounted engine has traction in front so its way more tameable then 037
This really helps a lot! The time of spin are less than before after I follow your setting. TY!
I have a question, I have no room for a dedicated handbrake in my setup but I found a way to bind both paddle shifters to my handbrake, do you think there’s any limitations there
Potentially, but it would be able to work in most cases
I subscribe to everyone like you with that home made DIY experience to me it’s just UA-cam for these guys it’s their life and paycheck
Notification squad is here. Good video bud! thanks for making it, happy easter :)
Edit: lmao at the box of "booty'os" in the background lmao
Best thing for me is to soften the diff. Works a treat.
For me it's to use the longest possible diff ratio. How I got my first world record run ...
Appreciate the video! Big help! Would love to know more about how to take corners with better angles and best techniques for keeping good balance
My previous video was all about working the balance of the car to throw it around corners, check that one out it should hopefully answer your questions

I just opened this video. my plan is to make 3 runs with default setup and with setup based on your recommendation and post results here. and thank you for you videos!
So i just did my runs, i've selected Greece, Pomona Ekrixi, Dry (5+km). Modified setup as suggested in the video - rear toe: 0.6, rear slow rebound +2.
1 run, modified setup, 4.01.501, place 201
2 run, default setup, 3.52.608, place 131
3 run, modified setup, 3.54.359
4 run, default setup, 3.48.136, place 87
5 run, modified setup, 3.47.692, place 86
6 run, default setup, 3.45.378, place 65
7 run, partially modified setup, 3.40.774, place 36
I'm not very good at this, on this particular stage i'm 20+ seconds slower than the leader, i can only imagine where you can find those 20 seconds in these 5km so all this is my personal opinion and feeling. Having rear rebound set on +2 keeps wheels in the air after bump longer. which to my taste makes car understeer on hairpins and under heavy breaking for me, so last 7th run i've made using rear toe set to 0.6 but with default dumping setup. So 2 biggest differences for me during my test runs were
1. stage familiarization, this affect my time more than car setup at the moment
2. increased toe angle
making rear dumping +2 makes reduces my time and makes car more difficult to drive for me personally
But this rear toe angle trick is amazing - thank you!

Didn't know David Cross was into sim racing! Cool!
thanks for the tips keep up the good work
I made almost the same adjustments to Crosskart and it feels like driving Mario cart :D
Still helpful in late 2023! Thanks a lot!
great tips but with the ford escort you cant change the rear toe cos she's a straight axle
Good video man!
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated!
Happy to help!
I take it this also works for real cars, too, but... What if I'm using a solid-axle platform that can't adjust rear toe or camber?
Unfortunately that's just something you have to deal with.
Could you do a g27 wheel settings video in the future, your fast as hell keep the vids up.
There's not much special about it, I just turned some of the FFB up and I run 360 degrees for rotation.
are you related to David Cross?
thanks for the tips, will try them out
Have fun!
Another great and helpful content 👍 really cool and thank you 😉
Thank you for this guide! Please make one for FWD cars as well, I can't seem to be able to control them mid corner...

What overlay for your wheel and pedals input are you using and where can I get it? 😁
It's called Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry Tool, Google it and it should be there to download
@@RoadsideTV08 Thanks !!
You deserve 10m subs
Great video dude. Cheers
My brain just can't process that speed 😅
Is there any chance you could go over your wheel and ffb settings for the g29? I just got my first wheel and am finding going from controller to sim wheel really hard. Keep up the great work by the way great content!
I have a G27 and the only things I changed was I turned the FFB up overall and set rotation to 360, otherwise everything else is standard iirc.
I'm finding that some rwd cars to me feel understeery and I have to use the handbreak to initiate a slide, what do I change?
Tap the brakes before a corner to shift weight to the front of the car is the easiest way to combat that problem.
I'm a gamepad user, but perhaps I'll give this a shot!
Tame them wth gamepad feels very hard.
I think best car 4 learning is the Lancia Stratos
In the tuning section it isn’t giving me the option to change my rear wheel camber and I don’t know why. My car is an H3 rwd
Most older cars do not have certain tuning options, some do not allow you to change anything involving the rear alignment
Can you do a video on the Rally GT cars? I can't seem to tame them at all compared to the other RWD classes. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong
I don't run them very often, but I'll spend some time with them and see if I can figure something out!
Ok so I go into tuning and it only allows me to toe in on my front tires under the alignment setting only allows me to mess with front tires at all and I can’t find a group b Rwd car at all lol what am I doing wrong
It's been a while but IIRC most older RWD cars do not have the option to change rear toe angles.
Good video. But you have omitted the fact that some of these cars do not have an option for Rear Toe adjustments. Same with the Ford Escort MkII which you mentioned. So please show us how to counter oversteer for cars with no Toe in adjustment. Thank you.
In the case of those cars you pretty much only have the damping and suspension adjustments, you kind of just have to deal with it unfortunately
I didn't know David Cross does rally driving. XD
Nice! Thank you much for the tips bro, Huge difference!! I have 2 questions, whats kind of wheel and pedal set up do you use? (I'm looking to finally get 1 for my ps4, and one that will work for the ps5 when it comes out) And what kind of little Marshall amp is that!? I noticed the soundproofing squares behind you and figured you might be some kind of musician, then I saw that Marshall! Do you play and record guitar?
I'm glad they worked for you! I have a Logitech G27 wheel, but I don't know that it will work for a Playstation, the newer versions should work with one though.
It's just a 15 watt Marshall MG15DFX I got for free years ago, but it still cranks pretty loud. Since this video I've moved to a new house where I was able to get my drum set also in my room and I'm actually in the process of setting up a little home recording studio.
@@RoadsideTV08 Very cool! Thanks for the reply, Your own studio... That's awesome bro! 🎸🎸👍 I own a small guitar shop here in Mass. I've been playing for over 30 yrs. but that was just fun, taking luthier classes and building and repairing is where I can make a little xtra cash, and help younger musicians with there instruments (stringed) Here's the link to my FB page.

If you know anybody in New England send em my way!! Lol, Thanks again bro.... Mike.
That's super cool, I started playing maybe 15 years ago but kinda stopped playing for the last maybe 6 years so I'm in the process of relearning a lot of things, which is fun but also annoying lol. Unfortunately I don't know anybody in that area, I'm from Wisconsin haha
I do not have the option rear toe and camber on the ford escort car ...
Unfortunately not all RWD cars have toe and camber in the rear, I chose the 037 for this video because it is notoriously hard to handle.
no you said it right the first time
Hi there. Loved this tutorial. How did you get that steering wheel indicator in the center of the screen? Is it a plugin?
It's called Cortextuals Dirt Rally Telemetry is what I use
@@RoadsideTV08 Thank so much for the quick response. Gonna try this now.
Still kinda stuck with the handbrake turns XD
I don’t have the option for rear toe on my car just front toe.. why is that? 🤔
Unfortunately some of the older cars don't have that option.
@@RoadsideTV08 ahh well I managed to stay on road for the whole monthly challenge anyhow hahaha
Thanks!
Does this work with H2 and H3 RWD Cars like the Lancia Stratos?
Unfortunately some of those older cars to do have some of the setup customization that is helpful for this.
Hi how did you make that dirt telemetry tool translucent?
In OBS you select the source and then add a Colorchroma filter and select the color surrounding the image you want removed
Gonne try this out!
it is better! need help with s4 rallycross lancia
:-)
I really want to know what that steering, throttle and brake overlay is. Anyone?
It's called Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry
I always slide on the RWD especially the Nissan
Thanks for your top bro, ☺
I can only do a couple races each evening. Its fun, but very very very intense. It was rage inducing... I uninstalled this game a few times. Waited a few days and came back for more. Im now down to where I can drive Front wheel and rear and keep from completely tearing up my car.
Yes, but how do you actually DRIVE a RWD car? Its like there is absolutely no relation between wheel and pedal movement and where the car is going, I've gone from coming 1st-3rd place at historic events in FWD to 28th place in RWD.
Hey, great content. You're helping me a lot.
I see that a lot of people use a Logitech wheel. I'm currently struggling to find a good setup for the force feedback, could anyone help me by showing their setup? C:
How did you get brake accel and steering HUD ?
Cortextuals Dirt Rally Telemetry
@@RoadsideTV08 thanks, but no permission to download ((
@@georgeapresyan you have to make an account before downloading, it's free.
Good advices
Would this work for DS4 Controller
Actual reason is Codemasters fucked up the physics engine for rear wheel drive cars so every time theres a weight shift the car takes it as an extreme.
Source?
Lift off oversteer in a rear wheel drive rally car with softish suspension on bumpy loose terrain is a very real phenomenon.
A major issue that even he is doing is being extremely snappy on the throttle and brake. When he said "that was my fault that was just a bad line" he did turn in a little early but the reason it over steered was due to the braking and then sudden power application. Car dipped forward all that weight onto the front tires nothing on the rear so it's going to turn in sharp as hell then he reapplied the power. The car leans backwards quickly as all the weight is back there and the front tires go light meaning at the speed and angle he was at he couldn't correct.
Smooth application and having the weight where it needs to be (outside front corner typically) before every turn is critical but on mid engine rear wheel drive the effects are much more noticeable.
Let me end this by saying his tips for tuning are good and I'm sure the guy is a fantastic driver. As a matter of fact I've seen him in other videos and he is absolutely fantastic. He is trying to explain a technical subject, drive at high speed, and articulate his thoughts in an understandable concise manner while filming with no script. That makes things a ton more difficult. I'm not bashing the guy by any means I couldn't do that and the dampening is a problem in this car (especially on this stage) but there are typically a lot of driving errors with these cars. The OP stated it is an over exaggerated weight shift. It isn't. The spring rate or dampening may be off a bit and a lot of it is driver error because it is genuinely hard to tell weight transfer via a 2d screen.
Having been given the opportunity to drive an MR2 being setup to run in the ARA and having prior racing experience in dirt track, single track enduro, and hare scrambles this game is pretty damn accurate on surfaces and weight transfer. Especially gravel it is fantastic at.
If you really want to know about suspension tuning specifically dampening tuning there are a lot of good videos on UA-cam and good articles for doing it with motorcross and enduro bikes. Now a motorcycle is different obviously but the concept of what the shock and spring are doing is the same and it's a good way to understand fast and slow bump dampening and rebound dampening, spring rates, and why your spring needs to have some sag / preload for going over dips to maintain contact with the ground. The videos break it down really simple because a lot more people are working with mx suspension that is very sophisticated than rally suspension so the information is much more available. Take care hope it helps. Also subscribe to this dude because he makes fantastic dirt rally content.
Every time I hold speed in the corners it spins. Every time I brake enough for it not to spin, I lose.
It's a hard balance to find, but once you get it you'll be flying for sure!
SUBSCRIBED!!!!! Thank you!
