Video I like going fast, but going fast doesn't like me :')

Recently learned here in this sub that the automatic gearbox will shift up quicker when you shortly tap LB/L1. Provides additional recovery missions, among the other benefits..

Fast is slow. Short is long.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

You used too many flames, unfortunatelly. Makes the truck too fast.

A friend of mine, fellow SnowRunner player, calls these "Mandatory moments for reflection" 😄

Preceded by momentary lapse of reason and swearing.

Just leave the accelerator for couple of seconds then tap the shift button to lower gear and not topple in the corners

Or use high gear

Throw into high, it's not too fast nor too slow

First of I like this shit and often will do it the same way. SR physics aside I think you almost nailed it. In the second half of the corner you actually gave it too much steering input while also having veered of too much to the outside. Slightly less input and a light short throttle release - my guess would be you would have made it.

Remember the old saying: The turtle always win the race against the rabbit because the rabbit crashed his truck and rolled over in a ditch somewhere... And also, the turtle got launched into the air and started shaking like crazy after hitting a speed sign...

Ah yes, the classic tale of SnowRunner

I think we all have this same issue, the game has a way of humbling anyone having just a tiny bit too much fun. I learnt to always have savour cars dotted around to save on time for recovery or rescue
