A useful co-driver gives the driver a clear picture of the next bend. Learn how to join the passenger seat, read the turn cues, and turn them into short calls your partner can act on.
The driver controls the car while the co-driver calls upcoming turns. Read the arrow for direction and the label for severity: SLIGHT means a gentle bend, and HARD means a sharp bend. Call both together and watch for the following turn. For hairpins, the driver should brake early before steering with the handbrake.
The driver handles acceleration, braking, steering, and the handbrake. The co-driver sits alongside and reports upcoming bends so the driver can prepare before reaching them.
To take the navigation role, choose Play → Co-drive. Accept a driver's invitation, or approach a car and press E when its Co-drive prompt appears.
For inviting a friend, offering an open seat, or choosing a solo AI partner, follow the co-driver setup guide.
Read the arrow and label as one instruction. The arrow tells you which way the road bends; the label tells you how sharp that bend is.
| Displayed cue | Meaning | Suggested call |
|---|---|---|
| SLIGHT with a left arrow | Gentle left bend | “Slight left” |
| SLIGHT with a right arrow | Gentle right bend | “Slight right” |
| HARD with a left arrow | Sharp left bend | “Hard left” |
The display can also show the following turn beside the main cue. A SLIGHT left followed by a right arrow means you should prepare your partner for a change of direction after the left bend. Keep the order clear: the main cue is the immediate turn, and the adjacent cue previews what follows.
For a hairpin, the driver should brake early with S, then steer into the turn and use Space for the handbrake. Using Space while turning helps rotate the car into a drift. A sharper call gives the driver a reason to prepare sooner; the driver performs the braking and handbrake inputs.
See handbrake turns and driving controls for the full driving sequence. For route conditions, see the Pine Forest and Alpine Pass guide.
Turn on sound and enable voice chat for spoken coordination. If you cannot hear your partner and voice volume is set to 0, raise it in settings before starting.
To change the game's call option, open Settings → Driving → Co-driver calls and choose Simple or Full. See the driving settings guide for the other handling, assistance, and audio options.
