ROOKIE TO PRO

Ok, Im going to be posting a bunch of HOW TO tips to get your speed up in BLUR.

I have decided to use the keyboard as the method of instruction, but obviously the techniques described translate into any input device.

The techniques can either be viewed as YOU TUBE videos, (and dont forget to click on the "watch in high quality" option bottom right of the video), or as a downloadable mpg.


Play nice here - I want to keep this section clutter free and relevant.
Please DO - Post relevant comments, questions and suggestions etc
Please DONT - post your own tips and tricks - if you would like to contribute, pm me, and if its relevant, LUMA will create/re-create in the standard BLUR PRO TIPS SERIES template.

I am using the following keys in the videos:



Well, I hope you find this TOPIC useful, and I will add new PRO TIPS intermittently.

PRO TIPS ONE - 180 degree HANDBRAKE TURN

You may need to do a fast 180 in the middle of a race, and the fastest way to turn that car around is to do a handbrake turn.

Essentially, you need to NOT TOUCH the accelerator, Pull up the HANDBRAKE, hold it down, and TURN. Once the car is pointing the right way, press that NITRO button to get back up to speed.

PRO TIPS TWO - FAST CORNERING USING POWERSLIDE

- I am coming out of a right hand corner, and am already in a drift.
- You will notice I never take my finger off the ACCELERATOR key.
- When I engage the handbrake, I lift off the accelerator for a split second.
- Using a combination of NITRO AND HANDBRAKE, I am able to steer the car around the corners while still going full throttle.

NOTE: The purpose of this tip is to get you to master the powerslide, so that you can go faster around corners or S bends.
In a later PRO TIPS we will look at the RACING LINE, and techniques involving applying the powerslide through it.

The combination of ALL of these techniques is what is ultimately is going to cut seconds off your time.
