Driving in Rain
- Brake earlier — Wet roads increase stopping distance by 30-40%
- Smooth inputs — Jerky steering and throttle cause loss of traction
- Follow tire tracks — Rubber on racing line provides slightly more grip
- Use wet tires — Racing wets or sport tires in heavy rain
- Reduce speed — 80% of dry pace is safe, pushing harder risks spins
Driving in Snow
- AWD is strongly recommended — RWD is extremely challenging
- Rally tires or snow tires — Essential for any control
- Drift everywhere — Snow makes every corner a drift zone (and it's fun)
- Increase following distance — Stopping on snow takes 2-3x longer
- Watch for ice patches — Shaded areas freeze first
Driving in Fog
- Use your map — Navigate by map when you can't see the road
- Follow the driving line — The racing line is visible through fog
- Reduce speed — Corners appear without warning in thick fog
- High beams don't help — Standard headlights work better in fog
- Third-person camera — Slightly better visibility than cockpit
