Hey I'm having some difficulty with Rally Racing. I really have a big interest in it but I'm completely unknown to everything. I have the 1974 Lancer 1300 Rally Car for the beginner GT Rally event and I bought the Evo IX for the Intermediate GT Rally event. Both are stock except for tires (obviously). I can't seem to get the performance I need. Any tips or advice for shaving seconds off or how I should modify them? Any and all help would be appreciated. :)

In the GT Rally races, the Beginner Level allows cars with up to 246HP while the Intermediate Level allows cars with up to 345HP. Are either of your cars near these numbers? Also, like ViLLaiN says, turn off the aids.

Good luck,

I did the exact same thing hoping to keep the events competitive but it was a struggle to even get bronze. If you modify your cars to come just under the power limit for each rally and then do all possible weight reductions (which is what I ended up doing), you'll win each event by several seconds, maybe even minutes.
 
I'm still havin trouble. I don't understand. I bought a '91 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione and tuned it to 246HP exactly. I did weight reduction. Turned off aids, and I'm still not beating it. It seems like the turns are wide and flat, and yet even on the tarmac stages, my car won't turn. Am I driving too flat out? Is there some technique I should know about?

Just turn off traction control and turn off ASM and active steering too, otherwise you cannot "slide" properly on dirt or snow. Contradictorily, ABS on helps a lot.

Approach the curve, brake, turn, without letting the wheel go accelerate a bit, you'll start to slide... Then just control it with the accelerator and turn to the other side the wheel.

FWIW I used TCS=2, ABS=2 and everything else off. That combination helped me gold every rally in GT5, so thankfully I never have to do them again because rally is definitely my Gran Turismo "achilles heel".

With TCS=5 I found that it was completely robbing me of speed on gravel and snow, even in a straight line (but that's understandable). On the other hand, with TCS off I found myself bogging the car down in turns with excessive wheel spin and sliding.
 
Just keep varying your driving style till you get results. Invest in a car which you can changed the downforce front and rear to suit your needs. Think this is tough? Wait for the Loeb Challenge :)
