River Run tips for someone who sucks at offroad?

[123]

I am horrible at offroad/rally/drift and can't even get close to beating the speed zone. Any tips? Would also love some car suggestions.
Cheers

I used a Hoonigan RS200 1986

with tune code 183 841 989.

It's my go-to S2 rally car.

Approach from the north to get a bit of a run-up...I did it 2nd attempt.

I used an S2 Hoonigan RS200. Cut corners where you can. if somethings blocking a corner (fence etc) go wipe it out beforehand. Start on the side with the longest straight as it will increase your average speed by quite a bit. Obviously hit the start gate at speed. That's about all I can think of. Good luck dude!

Just got it now after a few attempts now. Thanks to the both of you. Big ups!

For anyone struggling with this weeks event A800 Anything Goes I did it quite easily in a #2069 Ford Performance Bronco R

Also Hoonigan RS200.

Stick left. If you go right you'll hit cliff on the side of the river or go out of bounds.
If you look on the map there is a pretty straight bit of road that covers about a third of the journey. From the start, head towards that then stay on the road until the bend and by that time the destination should be pretty visible and relatively unobstructed. It's not exactly a straight line between points, but it is quick.
