The quick answer

Playground Games’ first-drive article describes the opening prologue and recommends adjusting assists and accessibility in Settings. Use the opening to become comfortable with the controls before judging race difficulty.[1]

Understand the distinction

Our recommendation is to make one adjustment at a time and keep a consistent car and route when comparing. This is a driving-learning routine, not a tested fastest setup or an instruction to disable every assist.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Complete the opening sequence and inspect the available control, assist and accessibility options.[1]
  2. Choose settings you can drive comfortably with, then repeat a suitable route.[1]
  3. Change one setting only when you can explain what handling issue you want to address.[1]

Limits and next steps

The opening description is not a full unlock order for every activity or evidence of parity with a future platform release.[1]
