How to DiRT - DiRT Rally Beginners tips! 

this game is the dark souls of race driving.

Main tip: Don't drive in 3rd person/chase cam. Never, ever. It really messes up your coordination. And, of course...Don't cut! Seriously, don't cut!

First tip, play with the cockpit camera

This is the hardest driving game I've ever played

"I will talk about the controller, and the drunk guy who keeps slurring his words will talk about the wheel." Thanks, m80!

How about tips on how to beat the damn AI in Rallycross? Those fuckers seem to be on some invisible rail road.

"Listen to your co-driver" Best advice ever, as someone who has never raced any rally before, the game is so much smoother when you actually concentrate on what the co-driver says.

So this is our first ever commentary... we hope to improve them over time!

Tnx for the guide, didnt crash in the first corner for once, 10/10

Some tips I can give is to practice making your car break loose when approaching turns doing Scandinavian flicks. I do this alot especially when approaching 3's and 4's. Another tip I can give, when approaching hair pins where using the handbrake to get the car to come around the turn, before engaging the handbrake tap the left foot brake first this will transfer the weight of the car to the front wheels and allow them to "bite" and will create a pendulum effect as the rear breaks loose and swings around while the front wheels pulls the car into the inside of the turn.

I got dirt rally yesterday and this video definitely goes through what I struggle with. Thank you for making this video, it touches on what I need to improve on

Most other tutorial videos I've seen assume you know a lot about rally, whereas you guys don't. thanks for this video. great duo BTW. look forward to more

I've been playing Colin Mcrae rally games since I was kid on PlayStation1 .. last dirt game I've was Dirt 2 .. the new Dirt Rally is way much different and challenging comparing to the older games .. it took me one day to learn playing Dirt Rally . RIP Colin McRae.. thanks for the tips .. love this game .. Code masters are making extremely fantastic racing games ..

this is your first commentary? Haha it was great, way better than most of the big channels out there, plus your channel is about rally games which are my favorite! Subscribed :)

I never felt afraid when playing racing games for ten years, but after playing dirt rally, I was frightened a lot.

Just stumbled on this video trying to learn about tuning my Renault Alipine and found it very helpful, thanks for taking the time to post this. I've subscribed!

It might not be part of the basics, but nearly everyone that drives top 10 times uses either dashboard or bonnet/hood cams. It's much easier to get a proper feel of the car that way.

remember: if you need to go faster, listen to eurobeat.

the best advice i can give to the new players of dirt rally is: avoid the Lancia 037 in the group B (RWD) class and the Lancia Stratos in the 1970 class at the beginning. they're unforgivable oversteer monsters and if you are too brutal with them(especially the 037. it's like driving on eggs with this car), you'll get your car extremely damaged. so, avoid them on the beginning to learn how works the physics first. later, you can take them ;)

Love your content, because I like racing rally games so much and your channel is dedicated to what I like, I'M SUBSCRIBING!! :)

Would be nice if you didn't use this cancerous music at the beginning.

My dad told me a story today about a rally he was at where colin mcrae was racing, and apparently the front wheel of the car came off at the land corner as colin aas drifting sideways round the corner and the suspension kept him up and he went across the finish line lol

Something that helped me, is changing the transmission to a manual clutch one over an automatic one. I played most of DiRT 2 and 3 with an automatic, changing to manual once I got the hang of driving, but knowing DiRT Rally was much harder, I went back to automatic so I could focus more on controlling the car over shifting. Once I changed to a manual the car felt 100x better and helped me be able to control where my car was going through corners better. On automatic the car always felt like a solid rock that never turned, once changed, it felt like I could maneuver once again. I know its common sense for most to play on a manual already, but for someone who plays racing games a bit more casual, using an automatic may have not been tried.

If its any help my tip would be to imagine the car as a hovercraft when driving on gravel/snow. Turn in early to glide the car round the corner. Hope this helps some subs. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work btw what is the song/tune in the intro?

2:33 "Seriously , don't cut!"

The Dark Souls of racing games. I bought it 3 hours ago, and I am hooked. Wish it had some more vehicles and a raid class in it though. But even still, absolutely no buyer's remorse here.

thank you, new at the game here and i love it!

Great tips guys💯 Appreciate it✌️

Came after this game was free on steam Thanks man, needed this

1:24 i am sorry if that is his real voice but i just burst out laughing when i heard him talking...

this video is extremely good. From the tips to the commentary, it was all great.

The wheel on my screen is acting strange when driving with cockpit cam , even with a little steering to the left for ex. , wheel goes all the way left on the screen. Any suggestions?

great video guys! i just want to know what setting/preferences are the best for beginners? i have some trouble controlling cars at high speeds, especially RWD cars.

Who else is here because they just got the game for free on steam

The team management is going to help so much, I did not know about that until now.

One bonus point, filling out a crew with perks for the car you're driving makes it MUCH faster to fully upgrade it! Drivetrain, country of origin, class, and specific car. You have 3 different perk 'levels' that you can assign crew to

4:43 why dont u just use ur headlights bro?

heres some useful tips for all you noobs out there, play with all assists off and no-hud. you may find it hard at first but be patient and rewards shall follow.

2:09-3:17 That is true. If you are going to become a rally driver competing in your local rally events or just play any rally games, *YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR CO-DRIVER*. In fact, the driver is the one telling the co-driver what to write in his pacenotes during recce so the co-driver can tell the driver what corner is coming up during a race, so it's logical that the driver should learn what those calls mean. So please do not ignore this advice. Good commentary ;)

I always took the numbers as the gear to take the corner with sort of in the alternate order, so 1 was 5 and 5 was 1, or 2 if I felt like a skid. Worked for me. Also anyone with a wheel on pc try Richard burns rally if you haven't had your fill yet.

Btw these are really beginner tips as the video suggests, i really thought it would be a bit more in depth. For example controlling your car in a slide with throttle and brake rather than steering wheel, or usage of handbrake, or apex of a corner, or timing of a brake. I think these are the things that will help a beginner more than this video. Don't get me wrong these are the basics yea, but if someone coming to a badass sim rally game from an arcade racing platform.... Oh boy, i pity the fool.

Nice Video, but new players might miss a few points. When talking about co-driver and pace notes, you should mention that the numbers like "80" do mean that the next event is 80 m after the current corner/whatever. And prepare new players for the AI ;). Some players will be frustrated because they try to get first every stage.

nice video keep on and do commentarys awesome work even if its your first one! subscribed

Tanks guys keep up the good work !!!

so are the tracks in real life too?

At first I thought he was gonna say "hey guys my name is chaotic" because he sounds just like chaoticravenger

wondering what's background music since the start ,while rings the end ? surely i've heard that song before

Is there any way to set your xbox 360 controller back to default on pc??? Does anybody know the default settings?

so essentially treat it like actual racing lol

I get what the co-driver say but wtf does 5 left 40 means

Im just trying to find out why are my cosworth and ford escort spining in straight line

Good points...especially 'don't cut' and feathering the accelerator.I spent most of the time crashing,flipping etc and I didn't like it a first.Practice makes perfect,it's a great game :)

The dubstep is a huge turn off. It feels way too boy racer.

It is not so hard in the beginning. But i havent played any dirt game before this. And my dad is a rally driver. And i am co for him

Watching DiRT Rally 1.0 videos makes me want to play this old relic more.

Pro Tip: Get a Steering Wheel and Pedals! I've been playing for a while now with an XBOX ONE controller but it is SO MUCH easier with a wheel. It's a bit counterintuitive, but for the most part your steering inputs (besides countersteering) will need to be very small, which can be very difficult with analog sticks. If you've got clumsy thumbs and a sim isn't an option for you, I've found Kontrol Freeks (usually used for FPS games) can help by extending your thumb's range of motion. This makes it a bit easier to cope with the need for small steering inputs. Glad to see a DiRT specific channel! Your first commentary is better than many guys who've been doing it for a while lol

Wait- I got this game on humblebundle for free not really knowing what it was- and its a multiplayer game? *cries in anxious paranoid girl *

I fucking suck at this game

Any tips on how to get DR to recognise my wheel? (G920, works fine with FH4....). I'm not about to learn how to drive using a keyboard.

So guys i have 2 questions about dirt rally,firs i have a radeon hd 5450 ,but there is a 2gb version(mine is 1gb) so to wich are sistem requirements refering ,and second is game playable with 90 degree wheel(driving force ex in my case)

bought this game played for 2 hours then returned it lmao

Good video. I think you should try making a couple of other videos on more advanced techniques like left foot braking, different techniques to get the car to slide smoothly (scandanavian flick, handbrake, clutch kick etc.) or how to control the car when transitioning between slides. You get the idea :D

How do you save your game and dirt four in the beginning

I've always wondered what the numbers after the turns called out by your codriver meant. Like after they say, "Right 6, over crest," they'll say "60" or "200". What does that second number mean?

shader detail set to low... is this the only way to get rid of dof?

co driver: dont cut!!! me driving the car uncontrollably: THE CAR WONT LISTEN MAN!!!

I've been playing for a while now using chase camera, I swapped over to first person recently and didn't realise how much of a difference it made.

hello, wut is the best set up car for sweeden thanx

Why isn't my Gamepad like this, it moves twitchy from left to right like in an instant?! Can anyone help, none of the settings work?

Do you guys provide some API to get vehicle data?

hallo i have a guestion how you drive dirt game whit controler or.......?????

This game is super hard, but so much fun! currently playing with a G29 on PS4. Would be great to see more tips for wheels users

You did not mentioned that on some tracks especially in bends in Germany you can see tire tracks and as beginner player can try to fallow those tracks, this helped me.

How u make those highlight clip ?

Hey man. Ur channel is amazing

whats the transition from dirt to dirt 2 like?

on PS4 isn't available Ford Focus 2000s Martini livery?

I feel like I need a coach to review my driving style to suggest some useful tips later

7000th subscriber i love ur vids bro 😄

Also remember ABS OFF, Stability control Off, Traction control off is the most fun way to play but if you drive something like the Sapphire Cosworth you'll spin out a lot. Keep revs medium some cars turbos are high revs and short shifting or just treading lightly on the throttle is the way to go, only flat out when the track is straight. Usually cars with Engine Front and 4WD are the better ones for the scandi flicks and that the end feels more like it w ill go where you point it but the mid ranged 4wds tend to feel like they have weight and more grip. So excited for Dirt 2.0 xDD

thank you very much for this video that will help many people, because this game is very deep and so as Dirt2 and Dirt3. You guys,( viewers), should listen carefully to what this tutorial say, because every thing matter in rally, don't leave some thing without knowing it perfectly, this will result in an awesome experience that you will never forget and you will play dirt even after completing the game because it is not limited, I mean the experience and enjoyment. When you spend lots of time leaning from your mistakes, you will improve in a way that you might find some thing which is an important fact, but you have found it from the experience. For example, in the video the commentator said that you can use the clutch as a downforce to get the car to slow its speed, this is fact, for me I didn't know that but with my experience I noticed its effect on the car while I was trying to drift for many time,( this was a long time ago), when I saw this video I was happy that I knew this from the experience I had, And here comes the really great thing about Dirt Games. For me, I love these videos, because no one would do this in the past... I don't know why?! , make it a series of tutorials, many thing could be taught, like Co-Driver word explanations and many other more

now i kinda want dirt rally

Wish I'd found this video earlier, In had to learn all this the hard way

I play with the t500 rs racing wheel. could you guys maybe do a video about how to set it up? Thx and nice first vid ;)

So like, it asks if you wanna repair your car. I click yes, put it to what I want. But then there's no way to start the repairs? There's no button that says "go" or anything. I've never been able to repair my car because you can't. HELP

Nice video. How about a 'how to do a proper hairpin'' with clutch kick and all. And a wheel setup guide.

How does hand brake factor into all of this? Do I need it at all, or for those really sharp turns?

The ppl who create these games and of course the hardware they run on, are magicians - it looks fantastic!!

Could you do a tutorial on setting up cars for different surfaces, and uphill/down hill setups. I've read about the theory, but whenever I try it out for myself, I end up destroying the handling! Thanks.

Hell my biggest struggle is with RWD and AWD cars. I always seem to find some way to lose the back end of my car even on the easy high speed 5 and 6 turns that I can normally go flat out in a FWD car. I can't seem to grasp how to recover from or avoid these situations

Can someone help me like when I go to a turn and going like 20 mph my car just does a 360 spin like I suck at the corners also I use Xbox one if anyone can help me or anything else my gamer tag is HearComesDATBOI

How did you get Martini livery?

Just got this game and I'm loving it. Using a controller as well no problem. I'll probably save up some cash and get a wheel eventually. Game sounds and feels and looks amazing

How do u go into third person

Is the chase cam the best view to use? I'm currently trying to decide between that and the bonnet cam but I feel the latter just doesn't give you a clear enough view ahead. Chase cam does this but I feel you have to wait for the car to react to inputs and can be less precise.

How do you select maps?

Why on ps4 doesn't the focus have the martini/valvolene sponsor logos ?

Im still a little hazy on when i get a new car, like the Ford Escort Mk4, the driving is so erratic. I feather the throttle, and am pretty cautious in the staging events so i can see whats going on with my car, but its still ridiculous how much i spin out or lose control of my car when ive only reached 70 kph, and only driving 100 meters. Is it because the engineers haven't had time to "study the car" like they say on the game or is it something im doing to make the car lose control so easily? Im playing on a PS4 btw.

You just got a new sub! ;D
