15 Essential Tips for Beginner Rally Car Drivers

Develop a strategy for each turn, corner, or jump ahead of time

To be successful in rally car racing, you need to develop a strategy for each turn, corner, or jump ahead of time. This will help you maximize your speed and reduce the risk of accidents.

Before you race, think about the best line to take and then practice taking it. Focus on the braking points, turning techniques, and acceleration so you can shave off precious seconds from your time. It’s also important to anticipate how other cars will behave in a given situation and plan your strategy accordingly. Finally, make sure to adjust your strategy as needed during each race depending on the conditions.

 

Develop your reflexes

Practice on a grassy area or a skid pad to hone your car control skills.

Developing your reflexes is essential for success in rally car racing. You can practice on a grassy area or a skid pad to hone your car control skills and get used to reacting quickly when something unexpected happens. Working on hand-eye coordination, braking and acceleration techniques, drifting, cornering, anticipating other drivers’ moves and more will give you an edge in the race. Practice as much as possible and remember to focus on improving your reaction time. The more you practice, the better your reflexes will become.
