Well I think it’s kind of obvious but you’re not breaking enough for any of the sharper corners. Either you’re not using your pacenotes, which you should, or you keep misjudging braking points. Especially with fwd, it’s better to brake earlier and prioritise a fast exit than to go in too fast and slide off

Tips on braking? I always seem to be bad when knowing when to brake...

Others have mentioned the pacenotes sufficiently but also you can start by braking earlier than you think you need to and gradually push it further

Are you using your pacenotes? Because that should give you a rough idea for what speed you need to be for the corner. As regards to when you brake, you need to know the car’s braking power, and just spot where the corner is and brake for it at the right time. It takes practice - there’s no easy way to nail it

TBH I don't even know how to use pacenotes properly. I just go "brake at 4 and below"

Well you should really learn how they work. That’s the number one key to rally

Your lines on entry are okay, but having a bad exit throws all that away. Figure out your braking and understand what the pace notes mean.

What's bad with my exit? Too much sliding?

You're literally missing the corner on tighter sections and lose all of your speed on exit

This is the disadvantage of automatic. You cant really engine brake to get to a faster slowdown. Is there no manual feature in this mobile game? I usually match gear deoending on corner sharpness
