In a rally the road is driven slowly in advance, and the co-driver writes shorthand notes of every corner: its direction, severity, length and anything unusual. During the stage the notes are read aloud, so the driver can keep their eyes on the road and go much faster than they could blind.

How are the grades worked out?

From the angle the road turns through. Under about 20 degrees is a 6, over 100 degrees is a 1, and the others are in between, so the numbers tell you how much steering and how much braking to expect.

Rally Co-driver

Drive a twisting rally stage in fog and trust your co-driver. You can only see a short way ahead, so the pace notes tell you what is coming: the direction of the next bend, how tight it is from 1 (hairpin) to 6 (nearly flat out) and how far away. The notes come from the road itself. Six stages with more bends, tighter ones and thicker fog.

How to play

Drive with the arrow keys or the on-screen pedals. The grey ring around the car is the fog: beyond it you cannot see the road. The goal line at the top reads out the next corner, for example Notes: Left 3 in 60 m, and the readout beside it gives the one after.
A grade of 1 is a hairpin that needs almost walking pace; 6 is a gentle bend you can take at full speed. Brake before the corner, turn in the way the note says, and accelerate out.
The posts at the sides of the road are solid. Pass the blue checkpoints in order and stop on the finish line. Hitting posts costs damage, and too much damage ends the stage.

Tips and strategy

Slow down for the corner after the one you are in: the second note is the one that tells you whether to carry speed or save it.
Keep a steady line through a bend and look as far ahead as the fog allows. Quick steering corrections at speed mean you have already gone wrong.
A low number needs a lot of room: a hairpin can only be taken by running wide first. Use the whole width of the road for the tight ones.
