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]
