Mangfish 106 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I noticed during a race last night how much the super boost actually helps, and it appears that there may be members of the crew that don't know how it's done. I was able to go from 6th to 1st from the launch using the super boost. I think everyone knows how the normal boost works; jam the accelerator when "Go!" pops up. This is definitely superior to a normal start, but there is a better way. If you hold the accelerator to full before the countdown starts, then during the countdown as the "1" begins to fade you quickly release the accelerator only to immediately reapply to full you get a SUPER boost! Here is a video by Broughy1322 explaining the process. It really works! http://youtu.be/Pq56SUvtnqY 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4028-the-super-boost/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I've been super-boosting since 2014... Here you go, Broughy, here's another 2000 subscribers for telling us something that a lot of us already knew!

Banketelli 3,655 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm certainly glad I saw this, cause I didn't know about it. Haven't heard anyone mention super boost before.

To be fair to Broughy though, the video is 6 months old. It wasn't old news released as new.

It wasn't old news released as new. Just new to me I do like him, his information is probably the best around when it comes to racing, but there's something about the whole "If I can get 400 likes on this it would be awesome" that I dislike. I guess I come from a breed of gamers that keep their gaming secrets to themselves instead of trading them in for some more 12 year old subscribers that call you "awesome" Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4028-the-super-boost/#findComment-65958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 First time I hear about super boost Looks hard to do though. Could be useful for drag racing but for normal tracks with turns, it's kinda pointless. Could give an advantage during crew challenges but that's it I'll give it a try Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4028-the-super-boost/#findComment-65979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could give an advantage during crew challenges but that's it I'll give it a try If you use it and all of the other cars on the grid don't, you'll accelerate into 1st place, even from as low as 8th on the grid. I do it a lot, but not all of the time as it can fail easier than the regular boost. When it works, you'll keep accelerating at a higher rate than anyone else (even with identical cars) until you reach a corner.

Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 When you put it like that, it could be interesting in contact races. Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4028-the-super-boost/#findComment-65992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurko 7,622 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I wouldn't use it in contact races when you're not at the front of the grid, unless you're skilled enough to weave through the grid without crashing into cars in front. Average drivers will just end up in someone's rear or cause even more chaos. It's a big advantage in contact races if you start upfront though, as you can probably avoid having people crash into you in the first coner.. Other than that, it probably gives as much advantage as going over a curb.

I'm kinda surprised I don't see any talk of (for lack of a better term, because these vehicles are automatic unfortunately) "double clutching". I can't do it very well and under racing conditions I'd be a fool to try it.

I do that sometimes, certain cars have a habit of getting caught in the wrong gear, especially going uphill. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4028-the-super-boost/#findComment-66038 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge 7,265 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I've been in the habit of "double clutching" for quite a while. I'm not sure it helps that much. I seem to do it more when I'm trying to catch the car during an unintentional slide. That's probably why it doesn't help too much. Lol.

ScottyB 2,086 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I never knew about this either. Only slightly better and would only help when its DC vs DC This probably goes without saying, but a race is won and lost through corners so if you don't under stand racing lines then learn a bit about it and your will improve drastically. You actually almost get a speed boost when you come out of a corner perfectly.
