At the start of every race, timing is everything. Start driving the moment the green light appears. This will allow you to get a significant speed boost and will also be very useful if you are in the last position.
Fortnite Rocket Racing: How to Customize Your Car
Bling out your Rocket League car with various customizations in Rocket Racing.
Save the Turbo for Critical Moments
On the left side of the screen, you will see the turbo indicator. It accumulates as you drift. We recommend using turbo wisely, saving it for key situations (for example, if you are already at the finish line and someone overtakes you, etc). The amount of turbo is limited, and you will have to drift a lot to replenish it, so use it wisely.
Use Double Turbo
A few seconds after the turbo, you have to press the turbo button again to get an additional boost. To get the timing right, watch the turbo indicator. Most Fortnite Rocket Racing players ignore it, so this will definitely give you a significant advantage.
Master the Art of Drifting
Drifting in Rocket Racing is a key mechanic. During the drift, you will get a turbo, and if the drift is successful, you will get an additional boost. But it feels entirely different from other arcade race games. You absolutely want to master this mechanic to take the lead. To accomplish this, start a race with your friend and just practice drifting.
Once you have mastered drifting, you should try to do it as much as possible. This is a fundamental rule for success in Fortnite Rocket Racing. Even small drifts contribute to acceleration at the end, and the longer you drift, the more speed you gain.
