Handbrake Turn tips

[I s a a c]

Sup Everyone. I'm loving the game but I am not very good at doing handbrake turns and doing them on Hairpins. Any rally videos or tips i should read/watch?

You don't always need to use the handbrake, you should only use it on the extremely tight hairpins when you don't think turning the wheel will rotate the car quite enough. You need to be carrying a bit of speed, turn into the corner and then pull the handbrake until the car rotates enough.

Also, pay attention to the type of car you're driving. You really don't wanna handbrake too much in a RWD car... :P

yeah, I'll admit that I might have been holding it for a few miliseconds too long.

The handbrake is used in ALL rally cars because it's the most efficient and fastest way around a tight hairpin corner. Powering a RWD car around only works well on a wide hairpin.

In a sim it's a technique that needs to be mastered and it's hard to get the timing correct!

Handbrake turns in the real world requires the use of a clutch because you don't want to be fighting the gear box.

The handbrake in a sim should be an axis like a regular brake, it's not an on/off action.

Hardcore sim rally fans use pressure based handbrakes like DSD handbrake or Frex or HE.

dont hold o rear wheel cars use the power scandy flick early then power on keeping tight to cornner until around.

cars like the mini and the handbrake you need to get the car moving around so steer op way flick handbrake not hold. the speed you enter the corners make a big difference.

also the line you enter the corners.
