SurpriseAssassin Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So i was thinking about attempting to join a league but first i wanted to get better at racing. But the problem i have is that well, i suck at it. So i was wondering if anyone could link me a video or something to a detailed walk-through of racing like, when to switch gears or when to use rear steer... I'm trying here...

Jon Cannon Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Typically, racing with a controller or wheel is easier than keyboard, so I would consider at least picking a controller up if you don't have one already. Most turns you can take in second gear, but you might decide that shifting down to first makes the truck easier to control. Really the only time I shift down into first is a funbox turn like in SoCal style racing, just to take the turn a bit tighter. Most of the time after I shift into second, I stay there.

Racing styles are generally not associated with trucks. Although the handling may be good, any truck can be used if the driver gets used to it.

Doomed User Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Racing in manual is usually easier because you have more control over your dedicated speed at parts. For World Finals, I suggest doing what you did. Stay in first until you exit the Alley, then slam into second and ride it all the way until a little bit before the turn. Shift down and ride the turn out, then hit second again and throttle into the finish. All of this is easier with a controller. For the turn, start with rear steer and about a quarter way through ride it with both rear and front. All of these are just tips based on my racing style for World Finals tracks, which quite frankly, isn't bad or good. Develop your own style and experiment. And don't give up, practice.

Trust me, it's a lot easier racing with a controller because it's more like arcade console racing, which is easier to manipulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too choppy in the turns. Just be more smooth on the steering and throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controller, practice, practice, practice, 2nd gear as soon as possible, practice, practice, practice, stay in 2nd gear, practice, practice, slower is sometimes faster, dont drift, practice, practice, practice! Simple really Also, after watching your video, dont slam on the brakes going into corners, locking up your tires only makes it harder to turn because of the loss of traction, tap your brakes, and learn to not slam the throttle all the time either, finness is the name of the game.
