The driver cannot see the corner
Backseat Rally Co-Driver Guide
You call direction, severity, and timing. The driver should brake in a straight line, then turn. Braking mid-corner is how these cars spin.
The HUD shows an arrow plus SLIGHT or HARD, and it previews the next arrow so you can say “slight left, then right.”
Last checked 2026-10-25. Figures below are sourced. Anything not remeasured in the live game is labelled that way.
Calls that match the HUD
| Cue | Meaning | Driver action |
|---|---|---|
| SLIGHT | Open corner | Lift and turn. Do not stamp the brake. |
| HARD | Tight corner | Brake in a straight line, then turn. |
| Hairpin | Very tight | Brake early and use Space to rotate. |
| Next arrow | Corner after this one | Call both: slight left, then right. |
| JUMP | Crest, from gameplay video | Stay on the gas if the note says so. |
| DANGER | Hazard | Avoid it. Do not treat it as a normal bend. |
Some wikis print Left 1 / Left 3 / Hairpin. The in-game words cited by the driving guides are SLIGHT and HARD, with optional numbers only when Co-driver calls is set to Full.
Who sits there
- INVITE a friend, LEAVE SEAT OPEN, or press E on someone else's car.
- AI CO-DRIVER fills the seat with RALLY BOT and can wear a friend's avatar.
- Turn sound and voice chat on. If voice volume is 0, the human call never arrives.
- Settings → Driving → Co-driver calls: Simple hides the numbers, Full shows them.

FAQ
Should I brake on SLIGHT?
Guides say no. SLIGHT is a lift. HARD is the brake call. Braking on every note makes the stage slow and unstable.
Can the co-driver drive?
The roles are split. Swap seats between runs if you both want a turn at the wheel.
