Short Turns, 180º

This is basically the same maneuver as taking the long turn but you will need to make sure not to go too fast when taking it. You almost always drive on two wheels through a turn like this.


  1. Try to decelerate as little as possible but do not go too fast. If you need to brake, brake before the turn!
  2. Make sure you start of as far as possible in the outer lane but be careful not to touch the curb or drive off the track! Now, gently start making your turn.
  3. Steer more and more aggressively towards the inside of the turn. Be careful not to slip out of the turn!
  4. When everything went well, and with a little bit of luck, you will be at the inside of the turn, driving on two wheels with your inside wheels above the dirt.
  5. Return to 4 wheel driving and gently steer out of the turn.
  6. You will end up at the far side of the outer lane. Again, make sure you do not touch the curb or drive off the track!
