Co-Driver Calls & Handbrake | WRONG WAY!
The co-driver has a direct driving task as well as a communication task. Make those responsibilities clear before the next corner.
Quick answer
The co-driver reads the pace notes, makes calls and pulls the handbrake. Quick calls are the official no-mic option.
Coordinate one corner at a time
Published crew duties with clearly marked practice recommendations.
The three confirmed co-driver duties
Assign the driver to steering and the co-driver to calls and handbrake.
- Success check
- Both players know which input task they own.
- If it remains unclear
- Read the active role help when an extra seat adds another task.

§The three confirmed co-driver duties#
Read the pace notes, communicate the calls and operate the handbrake. The driver steers. The public description does not supply a numbered pace-note scale or exact braking rules.
A quick call is useful when voice is unavailable. Choose the game-provided call that corresponds to the displayed note; this guide does not invent extra call labels.
Practice call timing with one caller
Use one caller and move late calls earlier on the next attempt.
- Success check
- The driver understands the next bend before entering it.
- If it remains unclear
- Keep the same role and change one timing choice at a time.

§Practice call timing with one caller#
Practice suggestion: make the next call while the driver still has time to react. If the driver repeatedly learns the direction at the bend, move the call earlier on the next attempt.
After an unsuccessful corner, separate the two questions: did the driver understand the call, and did the crew coordinate the handbrake? Change one at a time so you know what helped. Exact distances and milliseconds require in-game testing.
A crew routine without voice chat
Try the displayed quick-call input before relying on it during a corner.
- Success check
- The driver can recognize the call without voice chat.
- If it remains unclear
- Check your active role and current device prompts.
Read the supporting evidence
§A crew routine without voice chat#
The developer explicitly says that quick calls cover corners without a mic. Confirm the current device input before starting a demanding stage.
Practice suggestion: let the navigator send calls and let the driver concentrate on steering. If a quick call does not appear, compare the active role and on-screen controls before assuming the feature is unavailable.
Night, snow, fog and thunderstorms
Check current visibility and any server-effect announcement.
- Success check
- Your crew knows whether the next attempt has changed conditions.
- If it remains unclear
- Avoid assuming a purchased effect is the cause without a current announcement.
Read the supporting evidence
§Night, snow, fog and thunderstorms#
The official description lists these conditions and sheep on the road. Store records also advertise server fog, snowstorms, thunderstorms and a sheep stampede as temporary products. A difficult condition can be part of a stage or a purchased server effect; the public records do not identify which caused your current run.
