This made me completely rethink how I was driving in dirt. The best bit was to get the weight to shift onto the front wheels, I knew you should brake into a corner but having that piece of advice made me realize why you should brake into a corner and how and when. Great video and even better socks!
Thank you so much for this. I went from losing to easy (40) bots/times every time to actually finishing my whole first rally in the 1st place (158pts). That reaaaally helped me out
Well, apparently I was born with the inherent knowledge of the "Scandinavian flick", because this is the first time I've ever heard about it, yet it's just always been how I drive in most racing games.
The internet if full of people who wants to praise scandinavia as gods. But as you said it's something we all know already. I am tired of such narcissism.
@@peterp4037 i mean it has a terminology which is better than saying "the thing where u turn out, brake, then turn in and go to flick ur car around". How it came to be known as the scandinavian flick, idk. But if that is what it is commonly known as (i only found out it had a name today as well), then it is what it is.
Average Brown guy there are two common names, the scandinavian flick, (scandi flick) and the pendulum turn. i like scandi more but pendulum sounds nice too :)
lol Sounds so obvious but easy to forget and super useful. Lots of people try to countersteer drift AWD cars like RWD ones and get frustrated when they keep losing the drift.
😂 Yeah that usually helps. Pretty easy Awd wheel drives just a case of balancing the power just like driving my real life exo x 💯 the flick not really used so much in the new cars
This is EXACTLY what I've been needing! Many thanks from the mountains of TN, where we do our back road high speed driving in pickups full o'moonshine, where the tactics are _quite_ different. Seriously, though.... thanks a ton, man. This will help IMMENSELY.
I just got 2.0 a few weeks ago, last dirt game I really got into was Dirt 2 when I had a Xbox 360. Now I have a g27/DFGT combo for my PC setup and you crap is it way different than a controller. These videos are definitely a HUGE help! Thank you!!
I know im 4 yrs late... But i just got this game and i love it i have always wanted to play a rally game but never had the chance, now Its one of my fave racing games. i like using the "beginner" cars, especially the mini cooper and the escort mkII has always been a fave of mine. That thing is a beast and i love the way it drives for a rwd. Like everyone else is saying, your videos are informative and educational even for driving in real life.
This is really good stuff. I just got the game on PS Plus and it's hard as balls. I've never played a rally game and I'm not big on sim racers, so it's pretty daunting but your videos have helped me learn a lot. The game is still hard as balls but at least I have a better idea of why now. It's a bit like a Dark Souls thing where I learn by playing and just accept that I'm going to crash out at times. Great videos. Keep up the good work, man.
What’s amazing about this video is you have put into words & laid out into a science what I have been going off of “feel” for the last 20 years of my life, both IRL and in video games. Like I knew all of this, but subconsciously. This game forced me to spell it out and map it out.
Force Feedback taught me a lot of the FWD techniques you described. I drive a Focus so I’m more comfortable with that anyways. Thank you for your detail and descriptions of how to drive. I’ve been a mess in Group B 😂
Hey man, just a quick thought; you mentioned about not using handbrake because you don't like using it. When pulling the handbrake I noticed you wasn't clutching in at the same time, in reality... whenever you use a handbrake (especially in Rally or in Drifting) you want to be clutching in so that you remain in control when the handbrake is released as most hydro's operate simply attached to the rear brake disc (like a motorcycle handbrake near a clutch for stunting, simply just another caliper fitted.) just like you would when you are braking under normal circumstances. The longer you pull the handbrake, the longer you lock up your rears (on purpose) therefore breaking traction momentarily when you need it however, the amount of force should also be taken into consideration as when you pull the handbrake hard more pressure is given the quicker the lockup, softer you pull the slower the lock up, stabby movements good for those moments you need to really save your ass. Or simply just keeping your line right whilst completely sideways using clutch + gas to send it. Hope this came across as helpful not as a being a dick, it's just something I really noticed and from personal experience (been driving virtually since as long as I can remember with a wheel since like Forza + Gran Turismo). Overall though, f***ing awesome video. I'm simply here just to re-train and you given good insights, so i'm not here to mock you as there's certainly techniques I need to brush up on but first time getting Dirt Rally 2.0
My timing may be a little off in all reality but I don't think the game takes that into account when using the handbrake, I could be wrong though. The main reason I do it is kind of out of habit and so that I can build up boost and torque to power through the rest of the corner/exit. Unfortunately as of right now I believe Dirt Rally handbrakes are set up to be either on or off, I don't think they have a gradual curve like handbrakes do IRL, again I could be wrong about that though. No worries though, I don't take anything in a wrong way as long as it's constructive. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you enjoyed it! :)
@@codysykes5568 This is very true. even in a FWD car it happens. Regardless of virtual or real, if you don't dip the clutch before you pull that handbrake, you're screwed. It can also damage the clutch / gears as well. Thank you so much for simplifying what I was trying to say. I don't drive a real car however it's not to say that I haven't. I've riden motorcycles and driven a fair few cars over the years.
@@RoadsideTV08 I think in the case of Dirt you're absolutely right. I think Dirt5 may have resolved that though I'm not too sure. It's not more for yourself to be honest, it was for people who sim race / don't drive I guess. When building the boost, I tend to just half depress clutch right before it bites, increase revs and drop it like it's hot. Entering corners I use the momentum of car to flick sideways, depress clutch, downshift, pull e-brake, then just before i hit the apex whilst in that momentum; clutch again to catch the revs, and apply throttle out if I feel it's over correcting then i'd just touch the footbrake. "Slow in, fast out" style. It's a ballsy move though. With shifting also, I tend to block shift (low / high gearing similar use to driving a truck.) So from 5, 3, 1. 50+mph, 30-50mph, 10--20mph. Up into 2nd then 4th then 6th (if 6th gear car).
Got it. The two most important things are throttle input, brake input, steering input, balancing the weight and angle management, but only for the rear wheel drive cars.
Great summary! This is what makes the game interesting compared to arcade racing - the learning curve is steep and the absolute limit is really hard to obtain.
It was so funny watching you try and talk about FWD as though you knew what you were talking about, and the suggestion that any of these cars “didn’t have handbrakes” mwuahaha priceless. I grew up living on roads that most people consider rally roads and have been driving them since I was 5 years old on everything from ATV’s to Heavy machinery, 4x4’s and sports cars. Handbrake is one of the BEST ways to break traction for FWD on corners, but you only tweak it and only as you near the right spot IN the bend, not before, otherwise the car oversteers and you end up pulling into the hedge (just like you did). Everything else was fairly accurate, nice effort, and nice presentation.
This video is extremely informative! Thank you so much. I've played Dirt 3 a lot but just recently got Dirt Rally 2.0 and the physics of this game is very different so it's an adjustment. Gonna hop on the game now and see if the video helped haha
First of all I have to appreciate you for these very useful information and tips that you generously provide and secondly I would like to give you a suggestion and if you find it reasonable please do it. I’m just thinking that what if you drive suitable with the tips that would like to talk about them and then record your voice. I know these causes you to do extra task but we the followers, will taking more benefits; because some times you get distracted . Thanks for your attention 🙏🙏👍👍
I tried to do these videos in the same style that I would talk about them in my streams and because it was different from all the other how to videos for the game. Also because I don't have a lot of free time to make videos so I had to do everything as quickly as possible.
One of the best videos on Dirt Rally I've come across. Excellent and comprehensive advice. I'm surprised to hear that older cars, in real life, don't have a hand brake?? I guess that must mean a 'hand brake' is different to a parking break? Do any of the historic rally cars have a 'proper' hand brake?
In a 70's car or even 1980's the handbrakes were to weak and so did not lock the wheels up. They re-engineered them in rally cars. I remember the first time I pulled the handbrake on a 4x4 subaru Leone I was surprised, as that locked up the front wheels 😲
Thanks a lot for this! I went straight from controller to a Fanatec CSL Elite (I probably should have gone to a Logitech first, but I have no regrets) and this is gonna help big time!
Fairly sure the fulvia has a handbrake. Other than that ver good and informative video. Useful for me to see footwork and wheel as I'm transitioning back to a wheel and pedals after a long time of being wheel-less. Not since the PS2 days.
With the front, I floor the floor, brake in the curve without releasing the accelerator, I cross the car and release the brake and go straight... it works better for me than with the weight transfer, turning so that the rear wheels slide
Thanks for the videos, they are very effective. Please at least make a video about the 4WD differential settings, although it would be great to explain the RWD and FWD differential settings as well. Thank you very much for your attention.
i wish they made all of Dirtfish available. What they have is only about half of it. There's a bunch of cool dirt roads going into the woods where you could really practice your cornering better than the open tarmac.
I´m jumping quite late into the game, but this is great advice! Totally a game changer, btw what overlay are you using? I´d like to use 3rd persona camera, but be able to see the wheel inputs as well.
The overlay is called Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry, it does not show up on the main screen though, it's used for recording and streaming so it only shows up on there.
Good tutorial but would you consider recording examples and then talking through them rather than doing both simultaneously? It makes it harder to follow the advice you're giving where you're pausing in the middle of sentences to think about what you're doing.
not sure how I ended up here... just did a scandanavian flick turn around a few days ago in my corolla hatchback... decelerated from 50 to 30 with a heel toe down shift to 3rd, gave the wheel a little right, then back left hard and a quick hard brake followed by heel toe down to 2nd, brief clutch and heavy throttle, off the clutch, tires spun for a few seconds and then bit and I'm suddenly going southbound instead of north and the whole world is looking at me in my shitbox.
Get a setup for your car from GTR Technical. These setups make the cars much more drive-able from the get go. The stock setups in this game are awful. Thanks for the tutorial.
Isn't actual svandinavian flick (or at least how most do it): Your right foot heel keeps throttle somewhat up, so you already got enough revs when you come out of break and/or gluch. You tilt that same foot so your toes handle breaking. And left foot handles just gluch?
Wow i have been subconsciously tapping the brake before turns for that reason but i never knew why. I guess i failed so many times i figured it out without knowing how it works thats cool
pff man.. free play... why didn't i think of that.. haha, But today i did it! in the Lancia still, the first car, but everything clicked today! I finished Argentina decently! Not first, not last, just... decent.. Find it a real hard area to drive, due to the unforgiving rocks and drops. Doing it in VR going for reality, no hud or anything else, steering wheel and 3 pedals, manual shifting via the steering flippers and handbrake is a button on the steering wheel.. The dream is getting a stick shift and a hand brake as well. Slowly getting there ,but.. anyway.. i think i got the feel now.. i am driving the car instead of crashing it ;) Anticipating the corner by what my co-driver is saying and etc...The biggest trick for me was.. treat it like a car and not like a game, hehe. Let my base be driving the car normally, as i would in my own car.. and later... when i am more comfortable at it.. then add the left foot braking and whatever non-normal-road use techniques are used.
This game pisses me off because i have a drift car irl and thats not how a rwd works, it feels like its floating on ice all the time wtf.. this game is dumb but its fun tho.
I finished this game in a few hours I'm just glad it was free lol the last section in Spain was excellent but the rallying in this game is unmatched by anything I've ever touched, grab it now for free 👍
Really helpful tips in this and also other videos from you. Thanks for that! I wonder if you could share with me what software are you using to stream your racing gear inputs. I really like how simple it looks
I got one question, the peripheral you are using there for the handbrake with the steering wheel, it works only on PC or also on PS4, it is because I have the Logitech G26 with its Shifter, but I don't have the handbrake lever.
I don't know the exact brand but I got it from Amazon for about $100USD. I'm not sure about any console compatibility though, it's actually been broken for over a year now.
As I am a decent rally driver on gran turismo sport I thought dirt rally 2.0 would be pretty similar, I was wrong! It is nothing like gt sport. I struggle badly on the higher horsepower cars
Gran Turismo is not called for simcade without a reason. Dirt Rally 2.0 is a rally racing sim which usually have a much steeper learning curve, just like racing in a real rally car. For track racing you probably want something like iRacing, Asserto Corsa or Project Cars 2. Skip the Project Cars 3 if you want a sim, though.
Nope, all socks you see me wear are from Keep It Simple Socks, a great company out of Ohio and you can even get 25% off by using code "roadside25" at checkout
I always used manual, and honestly I think whatever makes the game more fun for you is what you should use, I personally enjoyed the challenge of manual.
for front wheel drive (double note this for the fiesta) you want to keep the throttle on, turn in, then add brake. some cars you need to lift but you really should avoid it. team oneals has a great video on it. but by lifting youre loosing speed and stability
Does this tips also apply to controllers? I'm having a bad time in the pro events with rwd cars even if I'm not crashing the AI just instantly passes me and I'm like 38th. FWD and AWD cars are great with controller however.
That's a first I ever hear about old rally cars not having a handbrake. I call bullshit on that. It was probably a stock handbrake and a pretty weak one, but it was there and it was definitely possible to use it in a tight hairpin.

In a 70's car or even 1980's the handbrakes were to weak and so did not lock the wheels up. They re-engineered them in rally cars. I remember the first time I pulled the handbrake on a 4x4 subaru Leone I was surprised, as that locked up the front wheels 😲
Pro tip:never hold down handbrake only use it to go sideways think of using the handbrake as clutch kick
Thanks a lot for this! I went straight from controller to a Fanatec CSL Elite (I probably should have gone to a Logitech first, but I have no regrets) and this is gonna help big time!
Honestly better to go for the premium option, let’s you spend that money elsewhere
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. My worst enemy is the throttle input.
Fairly sure the fulvia has a handbrake. Other than that ver good and informative video. Useful for me to see footwork and wheel as I'm transitioning back to a wheel and pedals after a long time of being wheel-less. Not since the PS2 days.
With the front, I floor the floor, brake in the curve without releasing the accelerator, I cross the car and release the brake and go straight... it works better for me than with the weight transfer, turning so that the rear wheels slide
Thanks for the videos, they are very effective. Please at least make a video about the 4WD differential settings, although it would be great to explain the RWD and FWD differential settings as well. Thank you very much for your attention.
I still have much to learn but thank you for the information was very well put the wheel and brakes display really helped me understand better
Glad it helped!
Great vid I play on controller but it's still the same concepts you got a subscriber mate👍
pulling hand brake on the hair pins on fwd allows the car to turn in and the steering is fairly manageable based on the camber angle of wheels
Its wild what just a liitle brake tap will do. Wish i had a sim rig with motion, that would be awesome
i needed this IVE BEEN STUCK IN DEAD LAST IN a long time THx
i wish they made all of Dirtfish available. What they have is only about half of it. There's a bunch of cool dirt roads going into the woods where you could really practice your cornering better than the open tarmac.
I´m jumping quite late into the game, but this is great advice! Totally a game changer, btw what overlay are you using? I´d like to use 3rd persona camera, but be able to see the wheel inputs as well.
The overlay is called Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry, it does not show up on the main screen though, it's used for recording and streaming so it only shows up on there.
Really love how you explain clearly & simply. Thank you.
Good tutorial but would you consider recording examples and then talking through them rather than doing both simultaneously? It makes it harder to follow the advice you're giving where you're pausing in the middle of sentences to think about what you're doing.
got it on ps4 bc of playstation plus and I havent played yet so ima try it thanks for the tips my man you earned a sub!!
Nothing more satisfying than drifting with RWD
That is the truth!
not sure how I ended up here... just did a scandanavian flick turn around a few days ago in my corolla hatchback... decelerated from 50 to 30 with a heel toe down shift to 3rd, gave the wheel a little right, then back left hard and a quick hard brake followed by heel toe down to 2nd, brief clutch and heavy throttle, off the clutch, tires spun for a few seconds and then bit and I'm suddenly going southbound instead of north and the whole world is looking at me in my shitbox.
How are you only needing to turn 180 degrees in either direction on your wheel in order to reach full steering lock.
I have my steering input set to 360 degress, most other players I know have theirs set a little higher at 540
@@RoadsideTV08 How do you change the steering input and do you need a PC to do this or can you do it on ps4
Great video! Very informative and seriously cannot wait for more! Keep it up man!
Get a setup for your car from GTR Technical. These setups make the cars much more drive-able from the get go. The stock setups in this game are awful.
Thanks for the tutorial.
The setups from him made my times way more competitive.
Although not quite like his gearing approach, and springs a bit too stiff sometimes
Isn't actual svandinavian flick (or at least how most do it): Your right foot heel keeps throttle somewhat up, so you already got enough revs when you come out of break and/or gluch. You tilt that same foot so your toes handle breaking. And left foot handles just gluch?
Just started playing this in vr. Life saver!
im convinced the handling model is not the same in other modes as it is in dirtfish.
Well... I have watched quite a few of your streams and dident know you had a youtube channel. Gonna watch quite a few of these tip videos now
Love your Scandinavian socks man. Great video.
This game was a breeze when I started off with a fwd but as soon as I beat the first event and bought a rwd car I started eating shit every damn turn😂
Wow i have been subconsciously tapping the brake before turns for that reason but i never knew why. I guess i failed so many times i figured it out without knowing how it works thats cool
"easy cars to drive" meanwhile me after 2 hours or trainimg donut: "you freaking kidding me?"
very helpful for a beginner like me, thank you
I've been playing Dirt Rally 2.0 for one year now and my car has never stalled.
How does that happen?
pff man.. free play... why didn't i think of that.. haha, But today i did it! in the Lancia still, the first car, but everything clicked today! I finished Argentina decently! Not first, not last, just... decent.. Find it a real hard area to drive, due to the unforgiving rocks and drops. Doing it in VR going for reality, no hud or anything else, steering wheel and 3 pedals, manual shifting via the steering flippers and handbrake is a button on the steering wheel.. The dream is getting a stick shift and a hand brake as well. Slowly getting there ,but.. anyway.. i think i got the feel now.. i am driving the car instead of crashing it ;) Anticipating the corner by what my co-driver is saying and etc...The biggest trick for me was.. treat it like a car and not like a game, hehe. Let my base be driving the car normally, as i would in my own car.. and later... when i am more comfortable at it.. then add the left foot braking and whatever non-normal-road use techniques are used.
This game pisses me off because i have a drift car irl and thats not how a rwd works, it feels like its floating on ice all the time wtf.. this game is dumb but its fun tho.
How do I feel out the proper countersteer angle without having wheel feedback?
would be cool if they were to add a feature where we could set up our own cones at the dirt fish school.
Lots of help from this video to grasp the basics
Very helpful, you don't find a lot of good videos for Dirt beginners
Glad you found it helpful!
I finished this game in a few hours I'm just glad it was free lol the last section in Spain was excellent but the rallying in this game is unmatched by anything I've ever touched, grab it now for free 👍
Really helpful tips in this and also other videos from you.
Thanks for that!
I wonder if you could share with me what software are you using to stream your racing gear inputs. I really like how simple it looks
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The overlay I use is called Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry
Oh God these socks. I love it. You truly are my hero.
When we see a teaching vídeo, so good like this em Brazil we say: "Que aula!!", thank you for this vídeo and the tips.
bullshit...all you say is kkkkkk and sopa de macaco uma delícia :v
@@maximilianoalcaraz7351 aaahahahahahhaahahahaahahahha não consigo parar de rir kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Nice socks man. Helped me a lot keep it up 👍🏻
Also, nice socks, lol. Kidding aside, pretty good footwork there. I just started and am learning.
Fiat 131 the Best car for me. Love this car so much
what pedal set do you have? Just got the Logitech G29. The wheel is fine, it does the job. But the pedals just don't feel right.
I have the G27 and I agree, the pedals leave a lot to be desired.
I subbed. Roadside TV got me good imprasion!
Old cars had a handbrake, it was just on the floor between the seats...
Lancia Fulvia has a handbrake!!! Just look photos!) Don't deceive the people😉 Thanks for your advices)
How to find free roam.. I don't see that option and I am glad that noone else has this problem
You can access Free Roam from the garage
I got one question, the peripheral you are using there for the handbrake with the steering wheel, it works only on PC or also on PS4, it is because I have the Logitech G26 with its Shifter, but I don't have the handbrake lever.
I don't know the exact brand but I got it from Amazon for about $100USD. I'm not sure about any console compatibility though, it's actually been broken for over a year now.
whats amazing, is i just bought this game cause I LOVE the Lancia Fulvia, and its the car you use....perfection
As I am a decent rally driver on gran turismo sport I thought dirt rally 2.0 would be pretty similar, I was wrong! It is nothing like gt sport. I struggle badly on the higher horsepower cars
This game definitely has a steep learning curve
Gran Turismo is not called for simcade without a reason. Dirt Rally 2.0 is a rally racing sim which usually have a much steeper learning curve, just like racing in a real rally car. For track racing you probably want something like iRacing, Asserto Corsa or Project Cars 2. Skip the Project Cars 3 if you want a sim, though.
Really helpful video man, keep it up!
so is this game best to set it as auto then manual and instead of useing your brakes can you use your handbrake?
I always set it to manual, more fun for me that way
Brilliant video also love the socks.
Were those socks Saved By the Bell?
Thanks for this video. I got my first racing wheel and thought it would make this easier.
Nope, all socks you see me wear are from Keep It Simple Socks, a great company out of Ohio and you can even get 25% off by using code "roadside25" at checkout
Do you by any chance have a video with you wheel and pedal settings? I would appreciate one. Great by the way
I use 360 degree rotation, FFB turned up a bit, and that's about it, everything else is pretty standard
Are you using automatic or manual transmission? What do you suggest beginners like me use?
I always used manual, and honestly I think whatever makes the game more fun for you is what you should use, I personally enjoyed the challenge of manual.
for front wheel drive (double note this for the fiesta) you want to keep the throttle on, turn in, then add brake. some cars you need to lift but you really should avoid it. team oneals has a great video on it. but by lifting youre loosing speed and stability
this video deserves more like
Dude I’m more focused on his socks than anything else
Lancia Fulvia my beloved
How you steer into corner? Rapid wheel turn or smooth? I find it better to steer into as fast as possible, is this True?
I tend to turn rapidly, but at the same time tapping the brakes to shift weight forward to swing the rear end around.
Hey man what are you using to get the wheel / pedal info onscreen? It's not built in to DR2 is it? Thanks!
No, I'm using Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry, a quick Google search and you'll find it, it's very easy to install.
what overlay software are you using to display your wheel and pedals in the video?
Cortextuals Dirt Telemetry Tool
Does this tips also apply to controllers? I'm having a bad time in the pro events with rwd cars even if I'm not crashing the AI just instantly passes me and I'm like 38th. FWD and AWD cars are great with controller however.
Skill issue
That's a first I ever hear about old rally cars not having a handbrake. I call bullshit on that. It was probably a stock handbrake and a pretty weak one, but it was there and it was definitely possible to use it in a tight hairpin.
It's just the way I choose to play the game to make it a little more challenging and fun
For a range on how complicated the wheel base is for most people rwd fwd awd
