How do I boost start?
My cars start races with no wheel spin, and accelerates very slowly. The enemy cars always dash ahead and I'm left in last place, until I manage to catch up.
Is this expected, or can I somehow boost my start to match other cars? I've tried holding the throttle earlier, spinning the wheels (throttle + brake), but my keys seem to be ignored before the green light.
Best Answer
As the countdown starts, tap the brakes and immediately apply the throttle. This should make the wheels spin and make the car do a "real-life" burnout, if this doesn't happen, try again until you succeed. When the countdown gets to 1, release the throttle and then reapply it immediately. You should hear your Boost ignite as you reapply the throttle. If not, you have failed to perform a Boost Start and must restart an event if you wish to do so.
