Understanding each call out is vital, though this can be confusing. Gathering an understanding of the pace notes will mean the difference between a win, and 4th place. Here are a few basic calls to look out for. 

Left/Right turn with a Number.

While driving and approaching a turn on the circuit, your co-driver will let you know what is ahead of you. They will call "Left 4" or "Right 1" as an example. There is a popular misconception that the number they call is the gear you should be in. 

The direction is easy to understand. If they call out a Left, there will be a left turn ahead. If they call out Right, there will be a right turn ahead.

The numbers 1 through 6 are informing you of how heavy the curve on the turn is. 

Left/Right 1: This will mean you have a really tight corner. The pop-up you have on your screen will be red as this will indicate you need to slow down heavily. 

Left/Right 6: This will indicate there is a slight curve ahead. The arrow will be green indicating that you do not need to slow down for this. 

The numbers 2-5 are all in between. The lower the number the sharper the turn. 

You may get calls without a numbers 

HP: Hair Pin is a corner an extremely tight corner that is going to require you to use your handbrake. This could be close to a 180-degree turn.

SQ: Square will mean it is a 90-degree turn to the direction he calls.

FL: Flat will indicate that you are able to drive into the turn at full throttle.
