Basic tips

It doesn't pay to brake. You can negotiate the course effectively without braking at all. Don't make any errors! One slip could cost you so don't go too gung-ho into corners. Know the terrain and tracks well, the co-driver is not always helpful. Straighten the car up before jumps, jumping at angles can have a knock on effect meaning you spin out of control or into barriers. Learn which cars are best suited to different terrains. Practice!
