Correct answer
Smoothly, at an appropriate speed and in a suitable gear, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking.
Mud can reduce grip. Adapt speed, increase your safety margin and use throttle, brakes and steering smoothly. Select a gear suited to speed and manufacturer guidance, avoiding wheelspin or forcing the engine in an excessively high gear. There is no universal instruction to always start in second or use the highest gear at any speed. Do not zigzag or accelerate and brake sharply to try to gain grip; if you cannot continue under control, seek a safe alternative.
