Except in the special challenges you get time penalties for that, and in online racing there may be damage involved...plus not sure that would even give a better time? Haven't really tried.

Also this thread is called how do I get better at rallying not how do I cheat the CPUs.

Wait, do you work for Prima? ;)
 
Not wanting to bump an old thread but just to let you guys know - THANKS FOR THE ADVICE! I've literally really badly struggled with rallying, Ive never been much cop with it in the GT series but in GT5 it felt even worse, mainly because the traction control would almost slow me to zero whenever I slid into a corner! Makes a lot of sense now to turn the traction control off...why PD set it to be default turned ON on rally cars, and the made it so aggressive on loose surfaces, is very puzzling :confused:

I'll be reading through this thread with interest. I've jumped in at the deep end with a Focus WRC '08 learner car...wish me luck! :scared:

Awd=4wd

I know that this is an old thread but was reading through it and saw that the above was being stated several times. AWD does NOT equal 4wd. While it may somewhat translate as the same in the game it is very different in real life.

4wd = is a much older technology that usually requires manual use by the operator to switch in and out of, it generally has a low and high gear.

AWD = is operated by a computer using wheel sensors monitoring for wheel speed and when it senses slippage it turns on AWD. Many vehicles allow you to lock AWD for low speed use.

4wd is more useful when doing some serious off-roading/mudding, AWD is more suited to fast driving on actual roads that are slick.

Just in case anyone cared! :)

@Caz; I use a wheel. I always use manual on manual cars, and this one I was driving was manual. I was just mashing the gas most of the time, looks like that was wrong :dopey:. Thanks for the advice.

As a G27 user and rally fanatic, I recommend you buy Dirt 3 for the better physics. I also highly suggest getting adjusted to GT5's whacky dirt physics with the paddles and not the clutch. I still use paddles for anything over 300hp in the dirt.

If you still interested in getting better at rallying with all 3 pedals, try this:


Still want to rally with pedals?:crazy:

I too, am a G27 user, who owns both GT5 and DiRT3. While I do like to goof off on D3, the online experience has been terrible, as in, there isn't anyone on, ever! Another thing about D3 is the fact that I do not get to use 810 degrees of my 900 degree wheel. Sorry, but 90 degrees lock to lock is junk. GT5 recently updated their rally play to 540 degrees for logitech users, which is much more realistic than a quarter turn in each direction.

I may have just gotten used to the physics of GT5 too much, as I think the physics in DiRT3 aren't that great. Don't get me wrong, I had fun for the ~10 hours that I played it (and finished it), it's a decent game, it's just not as user friendly as GT5.
 
Hey mate I just started rally on gt5 so I could improve my reflexes for drifting actually helped heaps :p but anyway I'm on a g27 Ffb 10 and power steer off and set to sim I picked rally up very quickly by following these guidelines always shift just a tad early when leaving a corner and hold clutch and pump the brake to have a nice controlled entry also pop the clutch to shift from side to side for chicanes and brake a lil bit to hold the grip and presto lol I can make fast times without hitting any walls lol

What?!?!

What kind of GTR marketing pamphlet did you swallow that made you regurgitate that rubbish?

All Wheel Drive means exactly that. All of the wheels transmitting power to the road, (or FOUR, in the case of most roadcars). It doesn't say anything about how this transmission is done, how the torque is distributed or anything else. If it did, Subaru would be in a lot of trouble with their marketing, considering their "All-Wheel-Drive" platforms are predominantly constant 50/50 torque-split mechanical setups.
 
grab the evo super rally car, suspension height 5-5, extention and compression 8-9, differential: initial torque 44-40 thats should do it, oh and no aids
 
If your a wheel user, I say a light foot on the go pedal and Ken Block like steering for everything else 👍

If your a controller user, I can't help you much :sly:
