Backseat Rally Controls and Camera
Keyboard binds below come from backseat-rally.wiki and match the keys CHALLS uses on camera. Phone and controller layouts are not published key by key.
A search for a camera setting came up empty on 2026-10-25. Do not trust a page that invents a view button.
Last checked 2026-10-25. Figures below are sourced. Anything not remeasured in the live game is labelled that way.

Settings → Driving
- Handling: Arcade or Sim. Arcade adds drift assist, a little road-keeping, and more bounce.
- Brake assist: Auto, On, or Off.
- Co-driver calls: Simple (SLIGHT / HARD only) or Full (adds a number, such as right five).
- Voice volume and radio sit with the audio options, not as a fourth driving row.
Camera, phone, and controller
As of 2026-10-25, published guides do not document a camera, view, or FOV control. The driving picture described everywhere is the cockpit. If a later update adds a row, the in-game label wins over this page.
Controller bindings differ from the keyboard, and mobile uses Roblox touch controls. Neither has a published per-button chart. Read the HUD prompt on your device.

FAQ
How do I change the camera in Backseat Rally?
No public source records a camera key or a settings row for it. The view in guides and videos is the cockpit. Check Settings → Driving; the documented rows are Handling, Brake assist, and Co-driver calls.
What does N do?
It toggles handling between Arcade and Sim, the same choice as the Driving setting.
Why does the brake tutorial not finish?
Driver Basics wants S held until the bar completes. A tap does not count.
