    If I missed anything I'll leave it here! Just as a note for Airborne 2 the last platform has boosters underneath, I just didn't show it!
    I'm being told holding down rocket drift when transferring directions helps keep the drift going!

      7:54 on dust up 1 right here you can fly up and thread the needle between the sign and the mountain and then if you flip right after you pass the sign you skip a ton and it lines you up perfectly 8:08 instead of dropping down after the second boost pad if you jump the the right side again then flip to the right right after you fall off and you stay really close to the corner after flying off you can skip quite a bit too

    I’ve done a lot of speed testing in private matches and found that:
    • Drifting has a far greater impact at low speeds, and low-charge drifts do almost nothing at high speeds.
    •• For example: A 4-bar drift (counting 1 side only, out of 18 bars) gives 75kph @ 570kph, 36 @ 648, 24 @ 743.
    • Charging beyond 9 bars is almost never worth it. 9 bars gives 200kph @ 570kph, while a full 18 bars only gives 250kph at 570kph. (the 8th bar is the last short bar, so when it hits the big section and starts making noise you know you’re good)
    • The green boost pads always give exactly 100kph instantly, regardless of your current speed. Then you get ~1 second of gradual speed increase, same as Turbo & Drifting, totaling ~50 kph.
    • The Turbo button always gives ~133kph instantly if you’re above 560kph, then the 50kph gradual, and after 1 second you get a 1 second window to hit it again, which always gives you ~138kph regardless of whether you press it .1 or .9 seconds after the option appears. (which makes it beneficial to press it late)
    • Hitting a wall or other car slows you 20-65kph, depending on how hard you the impact is (grazing it does 20, but a 70 degree slam does 65)
    • Lava slows you for 1.5 seconds, averaging ~135kph lost.

    FYI- Holding the drift button lets you keep your drift charge through flying and landing! You can even start drifting with a tap like usual, then press and hold just before you go airborne. Very useful for keeping your charge when you realize you’re about to leave the surface for some reason.

    Some guys and I have figured out almost every optimal route for every map. And that translates perfectly into ranked, as proof that those really are the fastest routes. This game is so much fun to figure out, because in some cases taking the shortcut is actually way slower. I played lots of Rocket League as well as Trackmania, so no wonder i am so addicted, and climbing the top of the Leaderboard.
    Cool Video to get to know all Tracks, and tricks.

    At 7:56 on Dust up 1 there is a turn sign on the inside of the turn that you can squeeze next to. It's difficult but I think it could be faster. You would get less boost though of course.
    At 14:18 on Puddle Jumper I see a lot of players go only into the second part of the tunnel which makes sense because it's a straighter line, thus faster if you don't need the boost. I think it would be even faster to just dodge onto the bottom of it, eliminating the need to hover and overall needing less vertical movement.
    At 15:28 on Bone Cavern 2 in the first tunnel I think it's more efficient to use dodges than to hover. The first hazard you can dodge onto the left wall and jump off so that you land right after the hazard without hovering. The later hazards you can dodge onto the ceiling to skip hovering. Overall I think you want to limit hovering as much as possible except when using it with boost.
    At 18:25 on Windy Way I think the fastest route is to go ontop of the tunnel or on the ceiling and then hover boost over the mountain all the way to the left of the checkpoint. You can probably use a dodge upwards to gain the height because you don't need it for a sharp turn or to get onto an angled surface.
    At 18:54 on Windy Way again, you missed a hidden turbo pad. It's up on a cliff to the left. You need to boost and hover off the big jump if you want to take it efficiently. The two turbo pads you called bait on the big white curved turn make it easier to reach. Actually helped me win a race once or twice.
    I haven't played the expert tracks enough yet to have anything to add there. Im plat 2 for reference if anyone is wondering.
    I didn't know some of the stuff you showed so thank you for taking the time to research the maps. Glad I won't have to learn the expert tracks from scratch!

    Not sure if you have found it yet or not but i am only just watching this for the 1st time. On Sidewinder you were talking about connecting drifts, i find it alot easier to connect them if you tap and hold your drift button whilst drifting 1 way then quickly tap and hold whilst switching directions to maintain the drift, you can also use this to get tighter angles by holding the same direction when you tap and hold, hope that helps, awesome vid btw, some very useful tips 🙏🏻

    20:14 there is even a second boost pad at the building at the right. You can fly over to after the first boost pad.
    19:27 at this point you can fly with turbo and use a roll to the left at the end.
    28:52 after the boost pads you can fly around the corner. It is possible with turbo or without additional turbo.

    I do have one tip for racers. It is a difficult mechanic and I don't know for sure if it's worth it but, if you are in a tunnel that goes straight and has walls. You can drift on the very corners of where the wall and floor intersects on that rounded out part. Again, it is difficult and I don't know if it's even worth it. You can also do this with tubes.

    tip for tilted turnpike: on the bits where you have to wall climb, on both of them if you have a boost saved you can skip having to go on the walls and fly through the whole thing, first one you can do pretty consistently but the second one is very hard to do without wall grappling, i think youd have to front flip to get the distance but i suck too much rn lol

    I've heard most people say you should avoid being in the air as much as possible, and often use turbo power to get down from the air quicker. In your video (which is excellent by the way, thanks a tonne) you frequently fly just to cut off bits off small bits of a corner, meaning you loose the boost from a drift, and lose speed because you're in the air. I'm wondering if you think the same about those small corner cuts now?
    I do get that flying to get a booster for example makes sense, I'm meaning cutting the inside of a long corner off the edge of the track - that seems like it would be worse?

    • @JumboTTV

      Hey, I got to champion last week and I noticed on the track that lethamyr mentioned its mostly an air track, people will drift some of those corners instead, technically the routes are a little slower but you can gain much more speed and boost from drifts so its all about balancing when to use 1 method over another.
