About the Peugeot 306 Maxi:

The Peugeot 306 Maxi is the frontwheel drive car. The difference with other Sega 
Rally 2 cars and the Peugeot 306 Maxi is,
the 306 Maxi has a lot of understeer, you have to steer into turns earlier, and 
so the 306 Maxi doesn't slide very much. The
speeds of the 306 maxi are often higher because the car doesn't drift.

In Sega Rally 2, the Peugeot 306 Maxi is the fastest car, the fastest 306 Maxi 
time (and Sega Rally 2 time) is 3:57:35 raced by
Japanese player DKI.

In this guide I only will tell how I drive, I know that it can be faster but I'm 
still learning how to get faster. Above the stages are
my times given and the fastest times possible for that stage driven by Peugeot 
306 Maxi. These stage times are always raced by
Japanese players!

Everything can be raced full speed unless I tell to go off accell, but even then 
sometimes it's maybe possible to go full speed.

General Advice:

Try to avoid drifting, if you drift you will lose speed and this will cost 
time...

Take corners OUT-IN-OUT this means from the very outside steer into corner to 
inside,and hold steer so that you will come
out of the corner at the very ouside.

Don't hit walls and cars! This will cost speed.

Avoid water puddles (on desert stage) Do not drive through water. It will cost 
speed and time.

Always try to drive the shortest line! It's often more important as higher 
speed.

********************************************************************************
***************

Starting Method:

(thanks must go to Japanese players KKG and SAS for explaining me their starting 
methods)

Put the gear in first.

Wait for co-driver to count down.

3...2..1..GO...Full accel at "GO" (do NOT accel before "GO", this will get the 
car into a slip)

at 4000 rpm into second gear, immediately into third gear.

At Desert course go to 4th gear at 200 kmh.

At ALL OTHER courses go to 4th gear at 190 kmh.

********************************************************************************
***************

Desert Stage:

Fastest time: 56:25

Fastest 306 Maxi time: 56:06

EASY LEFT, IN GRAVEL

when having shifted to 4th gear turn steeringwheel slightly to the left, run 
over grass on left side as close to the border as you
can get. Pass the comm car on the right and run the grass on the right side very 
close to the border.At 232 kmh enter gravel!

Target speed: 232 kmh (when overtaking the com-car)

EASY LEFT

from the very right on grass steer in easy, don't drift, if you drift it will 
cost speed. Take this corner out-in-out. Do not end up
right on grass, so stay OFF GRASS!

Target max speed: 245 kmh after corner.

LONG MEDIUM LEFT, WATER

Again take this corner out-in-half out. First half steer into corner, then 
before entering grass full steer to the left. Try to drift as
close to the wall as possible. Countersteer as fast as possible when coming out 
of this turn.

CREST JUMP

Overtake the car on the left side.

Target speed: 236 kmh.

CHECKPOINT

MEDIUM RIGHT, MEDIUM LEFT (thanks to Matt Chan: ESP and PEZ)

After water puddle set car up to the left for medium right. From the very left 
at greyish cameraman, turn wheel half to the right
and when entering grass turn steeringwheel fully to the right. When at apex, 
turn wheel full to the left, do a little bit off accel and
then full accel again try to drift as close to the left fence as possible. Try 
not to end up on right side grass but next to grass.

CREST JUMP, CREST JUMP

Target speed: 229-230 kmh at second crest jump.

EASY RIGHT

>From middle of road steer half into easy right and drift, but keep drift angle 
as small as possible. End up on the right side of the
road.

Target speed before long easy left: 235-236 kmh.

LONG EASY LEFT (min. speed in this corner 230-231 kmh)

This is the corner with the mountain on the inside. From the very right on grass 
just after co-driver says long easy left, steer fully
into left, full accel, if you don't make it off accel a little bit. Be sure sure 
to don't hit the wall on the outside!!! To do 56:2x times
you have to take this corner at 231 kmh.

LONG EASY LEFT, IN TARMAC

Drift into this corner with minimize drift angle and pull the car straight as 
soon as possible to set up for finish. Don't run grass on
the inside.

FINISH

Finish on the gravel on the right side.

Target speed: 244 kmh

********************************************************************************
***************

Mountain Stage

Fastest time: 1:00:92

Fastest 306 Maxi time: 1:00:54

EASY RIGHT, IN TARMAC

Steer into turn and just after turn at 190 kmh put gear in 4th.

EASY LEFT

Approach from the middle of the road, steer in left and stay on the left-middle 
side of the bridge. Full speed.

EASY LEFT

Run over bridge and steer in early to stay on the left side near the border. If 
you steer in too late the next 2 K-rights will be very
difficult.

K-RIGHT

>From the very left steer to right just afet second advertisement on the left 
border. Steer fully right and do a small off accel, but
then full accel again. Run brick wall on inside. Come out on the far left side 
of this corner.

K-RIGHT

Hesitate, then steer again fully into right turn and run brick wall on inside 
again. Do an even smaller off accel here and full accel
again to come out on the left side again. Pass the car on the left side.

The key of the 2 K-Rights is to stay as close to the right side wall as 
possible, do out-in-out and very little bit off accel!

Target speed: 219-220 kmh (when passing the car) Note: this can be 221 kmh, but 
then you will go wide and that's not the
better method!

EASY LEFT

Enter from middle after passing the com.car end up on the left side. Run grass 
with left wheels of car, but not too much

MEDIUM RIGHT, IN GRAVEL

Pass the com. car on the LEFT. If you are fast enough through K-RIGHT, K-RIGHT. 
Don't hit the com.car on the back, this
will cost speed. out-in-out. A little bit off accel here too.

Top speed: 229-230 kmh on gravel.

VERY LONG EASY LEFT

Try to steer in very carefully, try not to drift. When the car starts drifting 
try to drift with minimize drift angle and stay as close to
the left wall as possible. End up left.

CHECKPOINT

Target speed: ??? kmh.

CAUTION HAIRPIN RIGHT (thanks must go to Japanese player KKG: 4th gear 155 kmh 
and com-car turn)

In 4th gear.Enter this turn from the very outside, with left wheels on grass, 
just after co-driver says checkpoint, steer in right use
brake and then also handbrake. Release brake as fast as you can just after apex. 
Hold handbrake just a little longer. Turn into
3rd gear and accelerate again. Pass the com.car on the inside (=right side)!

Target speed: 155 kmh.

EASY LEFT, NARROW BRIDGE

Overtake the Corolla on the left side and shift to 4th gear at 190 kmh. End up 
on the right side of bridge.

MEDIUM LEFT, MEDIUM RIGHT

>From right side of road do a small off accel and steer into medium left. When 
at left side of this turn full accel gain and steer fully
into right. DON'T RUN GRASS ON RIGHT SIDE! this will cost a lot of speed and you 
will drift and end up against the left
wall. Do a small off accel again just before the left grass, run grass a little 
bit but not too much, if you do you will stick on grass!
Then full accel again.

Target speed: 210-213 kmh just after right corner.

MEDIUM RIGHT

After medium left, medium right stay on the left side of the road and steer full 
into medium right. Do a small off accel to stay on
the right side of the road on the grass with the right wheels. You must do a 
small of accel! Use timing to pull car good for the
Open hairpin left.

CAUTION OPEN HAIRPIN LEFT (thanks to KKG steer in and brake, 4th gear 190-192 
kmh)

Make sure that your right wheels are on the grass on the right side. Just after 
co-driver says caution hairpin left steer into left.
The car will turn left and then press brake, do NOT use handbrake. Press brake a 
little bit and make sure to hold the wheel to
the left. You will come out of this turn on the right side grass, if done 
correctly. Try to stay in fourth gear, if speed is below 190
kmh shift to 3rd gear. This a very important Key Corner: run this corner well 
and you are able to do 1:00:9x time or even
faster, but minimum speed must be 188 kmh!

Target speed: 190-192 kmh.

MEDIUM RIGHT

Simple out-in-out, full accel. Don't run grass on the inside this will make you 
jump and come out on the very left side against the
wall. Don't come out to wide.

LONG EASY RIGHT, IN GRAVEL

>From the very left with left wheels on left side grass turn steering wheel into 
right, do out-in-out and a little bit off accel

Target speed: 215-216 kmh.

MEDIUM LEFT

Approach this turn from very right or middle of the road, steer in early, aim at 
inside wall, but don't hit it. End up right and
countersteer fast to straighten car for finish.

FINISH

Target speed: 217-218 kmh.

********************************************************************************
***************

Snow stage:

Fastest time: 56:93

Fastest 306 Maxi time: 56:64

LONG EASY RIGHT

Run the inner shoulder of the right turn, just after turn shift to 4th gear. On 
the end of the right side before the left corner begins
steer fully to the left.

VERY LONG EASY LEFT

Run as close to the wall as possible, but do NOT run snowwall here, because it 
will cost speed!

Target speed when entering very long easy left: ~200 kmh. Drift next to left 
side, do not run left side, just before running left
side, pull steer to right and immediately to left again. (this is called GERO-
technique, founded by Japanese player SSZ)

EASY RIGHT, EASY LEFT

It looks almost that there isn't a turn, but there is...! Before the easy right 
stay left, go to easy right, run snowwall at easy right as
close to the wall as possible. Then to the easy left: run also snowwall at easy 
left. Do IN-OUT for the next corner.

Target speed: 217 kmh, after easy left.

LONG MEDIUM LEFT (thanks must go to KKG no full accel, stay as close to the 
innerwall)

CAUTION this is a dangerous corner. Anecdote and me, we call it the Paul turn, 
because I always drift out of it, no matter
what car I drive. With 306 Maxi the corner is very difficult to take full accel, 
so for beginners I recommend off accel before you
steer into corner. For expert players: from very outside, just after co-driver 
says MEDIUM LEFT, steer fully to the left, while
still drifting from the easy left before. I slightly turn the car straight 
before the LONG MEDIUM LEFT. Go out-in-out.

Target speed through corner: 214-215 kmh. (AS CLOSE TO THE INNERWALL AND RUN 
SNOWWALL)

MEDIUM RIGHT

>From the very right put car straight and immediately turn fully to the right. 
Stay as close to the right apex as possible, try to run
apex!

MEDIUM RIGHT

Do half out-in-out. Pull car straight from last corner and immediately steer 
fully to the right. Again run apex on the right side.

CHECKPOINT

Target speed: ???

LONG K-LEFT

>From the very right, just when co-driver says checkpoint, steer in and do OFF 
ACCEL. Run left snowwall and just after
running snowwall, start accelerating again. Stay in fourth gear! Timing is the 
key to run left snowwall here.

Target speed: 192-194 kmh.

EASY LEFT

>From ouside do NOT run snowwall, it can be very tricky, if you run snowwall the 
bad way you will fly out of this corner!
Slightly drift through this corner and put the car up onto the left side for the 
HAIRPIN RIGHT.

CAUTION HAIRPIN RIGHT

When half between easy left and hairpin shift to 3rd gear and go for wall-turn. 
Thanks to DKI's video I now know where to hit
the wall. You must hit the wall before the apex, hold handbrake you can 
accelerate again very fast! End up on the left side on
the course, a bit on the left snowbank. Hit the wall with right headlight of the 
car and hold handbrake and start accelerating
again. Just after corner on the left side release handbrake and full accel. To 
4th gear at 190 kmh. Pass the com-car on the left.

Target speed: 98-100 kmh.

VERY LONG MEDIUM LEFT (USE GERO TECHNIQUE)

Take this turn in-in and stay on the inside of the turn. NEW: When steered to 
the left you will enter sand area, now do GERO
technique: steer fast to the right, then fast to the left, then fast to the 
right and again to the left. This technique is used by almost
all Japanese players and is used for keeping speed!!!It's an expert technique to 
hold speed. If you pass the com-car here pass
it on the inside or it will push you out of the turn. Pull car straight for 
crests.

STRAIGHT, CREST JUMP, CREST JUMP

Target speed at first crest jump: 212-213 kmh. (when used GERO)

Stay on the middle of the road and end up on the right side.

LONG MEDIUM LEFT, MEDIUM RIGHT

Just after last crest, pull steer fully to the left and do a little bit off 
accel, run snowwall on the left side of corner. At almost end
of left corner steer fully to the right and run right side of corner.

FINISH

Target speed: 221-222 kmh.

********************************************************************************
***************

Riviera Stage:

Fastest time: 1:04:21.

First lap record: 33:48 Second lap record: 30:70.

Fastest 306 Maxi time: 1:03:96. (lap times: 33:??, 30:??)

NOTE: I've practised with 4th gear technique, but this will take very long time 
to do properly. But 4th gear technique is faster!

START

Just after start stay as close to the right fence as possible. Like the start at 
mountain and snowy, just before the first right corner
shift to 4th gear at 190 kmh.

MEDIUM RIGHT

Do in-in-out. Come out of this corner at the very left side for the hairpin 
right.

CAUTION HAIRPIN RIGHT

At the very left before co-driver says hairpin right put stick to 3rd gear. 
Steer fully to the right and brake and use handbrake at
the same time. Hit the wall with right headlight of the car (wallturn) and 
before hitting the wall release brake. But
HOLD handbrake. Until you end up on the left side after hairpin hold handbrake, 
after that release handbrake and start
accelerating again.

Target speed: 115-120 kmh. (it's very hard to look, when you're playing!)

EASY LEFT

Stay as close to the left side of the fence and steer half to the left.

MEDIUM LEFT, MEDIUM RIGHT

>From the left side of the road steer a little bit to the left and a bit to the 
right to end up on the white stripes on the road, before
entering medium right, medium left.

MEDIUM RIGHT, MEDIUM LEFT

This bend is harder to do thand the last one. I steer half in before the right 
bend begins. At the right apex, I steer full to the left
and hold steeringwheel to the left, to end up on the left side of the road after 
medium right. Be sure not to go wide: timeloss.

CAUTION HAIRPIN RIGHT

Before hairpin make sure to drive at left side of the road as close to the fence 
on the left as possible. Shift to 3rd gear and after
co-driver says hairpin right steer fully right with brake and handbrake. Make 
sure that steeringwheel is already fully to the right
before hitting the wall with the right front of the car. Again here, release 
brake before hitting the wall but HOLD handbrake.
Hold handbrake until ending up on the very left, just after hairpin, then start 
accelerating again and release handbrake. Note on
overtaking car: You can overtake the car before hairpin, but then you have to be 
very fast thought the first hairpin and always
drive the shortest line. With bad luck sometimes the car pushes you out of the 
hairpin. When you don't overtake the car make
sure to overtake the car on the right side in hairpin.

K-RIGHT

Do out-in-half out. From the very left steer in and drive as close to the right 
side of the fence as possible without hitting it. When
very fast you can overtkae the car before the k-right. When you didn't overtake 
the car before the second hairpin, you must
overtake this car on the right innerside of the k-right. When you are too slow, 
pass the car on the left side just after k-right.
After k-right stay as right as possible on the track, near the right side of the 
fence.

CHECKPOINT / FINISH (READ ON!)

Target speed: 210 kmh.

Stay right and before the MEDIUM RIGHT go a little bit to the left, not too 
much: timeloss!

MEDIUM RIGHT

Do half out-in-out. Full accel! Make sure to steer fully right before the corner 
starts, or else you will end up in the left wall after
corner.

CAUTION HAIRPIN RIGHT 

>From the very left do exactly the same as in the first round BUT do it EARLIER, 
so that you will hit the wall earlier, just before
the corner! This is because the speed you will have: 225 kmh. If you are too 
late, you have to brake harder for not hitting the
wall on the outside, after hairpin.

Target speed: ~125 kmh.

The rest is the same as the first round....!
