When you’re just starting, don’t try to beat the best times right away. Instead, start out slowly so you can get used to the game and the stages. Once you’re skilled at driving, then you can build up and start trying for faster and faster times.

Listen to your co-driver, who will give you valuable advice.

There are many different settings, but don’t change everything at once. Try changing one setting at a time, testing it out, and then trying something else once you’re satisfied with the first change.

DiRT Daily Live is a special Online event where instead of using your own vehicle, you are given a random vehicle and track.

In Career mode, you have enough credits at the start to buy one vehicle, which will let you participate in one type of event. You’ll want to win and earn credits to buy more vehicles and compete in different types of events.

Credits will also be used for buying perks and hiring mechanics.

For more advanced maneuvers, you’ll want to use the weight of your car to your advantage, and you actually want to use less steering than you might think. Veering wildly from side to side is not the way to do it. Handbrake turns and pendulum turns are two ways you can use the car’s weight and steering to your advantage.

Turn the car and use the handbrake to perform a handbrake turn, which will cause the back end of the car to slide. You oversteer at a low speed, which lets you to make a much tighter turn.

For a pendulum turn, you want your weight to shift right at the turn. This requires precise steps. First, slow the car with the brakes to shift the weight forward. Then move the wheel in the opposite way from the corner. After that, you’ll want to start steering toward the turn, until it’s time to turn, when you’ll want to stop braking and speed up. At the turn, you’ll then want to steer in the same direction as the rear, to eliminate any understeering. As the car switches directions, move the steering wheel with it to oversteer around the corner.

The video below will help guide you through these concepts and techniques.
