Tips Needed for Wet Pavement

[Raptor65]

I'm doing the Route 11 Wet II in Rally mode, and it's not like i'm stumped but i tend to hit the walls a lot and i'm thinking, you know, there's got to be a better way to do this. I'm using the Ford Focus with 504 hp. I just want some tips or any settings i can tinker with to improve this. I'm NOT good at tinkering or tweaking cars at all. I have no idea what i'm doing when i try it, so who better to ask than the experts. Enlighten me!!

Super Soft tyres, Maximum Downforce & GENTLE Gas, Brake & steering input. Focus shouldn't really need any "tweaking" if I remember these races. BTW: don't know why these Races are in the Rallye section as you DO NOT need a rallye car to run them!!! Hope this helps...UB57

tighten the grip, or use the no tire wear code

go easy on the gas.
coast up to corners rather than heavy braking

[ving]

[SkylineObsession]

I just used a Skyline to win all those races.

 

[ving]

i did it in a evo vii (non rally one)

 

[Small_Fryz]

or cheat and use a f1 car

There isnt much of a secret to it. How would you drive a car with red tires?

Also, you can use any car in your garage for these races.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Personaly i did it with the subaru prototype but i have done it with the tureno and a few other sub 400hp cars

 

[Small_Fryz]

just be gentle with all the controls turning gas brake etc

 

[Laredo]

Don't wash your car before that race, it's a waste of 50 credits.

[meeekael]

I hate people who cheat^^^^^^

Its quite easy if use the Subaru Imprezza LM Race Car....it works good, and it doesnt involve cheating.....!!!!!!

 

[Twiddles]

I agree with Meekael

 

[Vasco]

Yup, i don't mind sharkports to get the hidden cars, but using cheats like that ruins the game...personally i used an F1, so i guess i can't talk!

Why? because your car will get dirty during that race. or because the wet track cleans it anyways.

 

[Vasco]

Wouldn't the wet tarmac make your car dirtier? (In most of the tarmac rallies, e.g. Spain when the track is wet usually the cars are all brown at the end )

Use the shinny code an never need wash the car again

 

[Laredo]

Whoa, you guys took my joke way too far.

 

[neurokinetik]

ZZII owns the wet courses... I didn't even need soft tires with it, t5 mediums were fine. Margin of victory was close to a full lap on the hardest race...

 

[GilesGuthrie]

You need to make sure that you don't use the brakes or throttle when you have a large amount of steering angle.

 

[axletramp]

Impreza Rally. Max downforce. 400bhp. Brake hard and steer into bend. Plenty of drift. Floor it when straight. No probs.

Don't wash car - flat-out down main straight will remove most flies, tar spots, dodgy 'go-faster' stickers, etc.

Two of your heaviest mates on the rear seat (if fitted - 200 creds from Tune Shop) might help at hairpins, especially if they can lean at the right moments!

I just think rally. I did the wet course with a Lancer VI TME.

Just slip and slide around the corners dude. Thats the easiest way to do it.

Special Stage Route 11 Wet II? I don't have this course. Is it only for the Pal version?

If it is, darn!!

 

[Raptor65]

Thanks for the tips guys. I took neurokinetiks advice and used the ZZ II and it really worked well. I was like 8 seconds ahead of the AI. The ZZ II was perfect for the job

Thanks.
