The Advanced Ultimate Nitrous Theory (Taunt for short) is my theory for achieving the quickest times on any track in any car.
The Theory
The theory is that nitrous should be used to achieve quick speed bursts through somewhat straight sections, recover from speed losses and avoid using nitrous where you'll slow down. It breaks down into 3 parts.
- Rapid Succession -
Using nitrous in rapid succession can achieve great speeds, but they must be executed correctly.
Saotome is a good example for this. If I were to apply the first part of my theory to this track, I would do so right at the start. The reason for this is because there's 2 short corners right at the start. Using a nitrous burst at the start will quickly accelerate your car through those corners and can be used on the straightaway that follows them. This way, you're able to create a gap and maximize speed potential through the first part of the course. I would show this on other courses but the ones that don't come from the story haven't been drawn up. Now the second part comes in.
- Speed Recovery -
This can be an obvious thing to everyone but a lot of people don't use it correctly by trying to spread nitrous throughout the track. When you start to apply Rapid Succession, you need to start applying Speed Recovery. That way you can keep up speed. If I applied this part of my theory to Satome, my third nitrous tank would be used after corner 5. The reasoning behind this is because you can achieve it's maximum potential by speeding through the final corner very quickly and taking a victory home. The third part is what brings the theory to it's maximum power.
- Placement Avoidance & Correct Placement -
Placement Avoidance might sound odd but it's something that everyone must take into account. One major place where you would want to avoid using nitrous is before a long corner. The reason for this is because if your car doesn't have enough handling, it'll scrape the outer wall and slow down dramatically (if you're on the inside, your car will scrape the lane divider). You waste a nitrous tank which could cost you the entire race. For Satome, if nitrous was used after corner 4, you would speed up during the straight but you would ultimately lose speed.
One fatal mistake a rookie can make is using a nitrous tank DURING a corner (not at the start or end of a corner, but in the middle of one). The mistake with that is you cause your car to push itself towards the outer wall / lane divider and lose speed. Your car tries to turn as much as it can but it can't stick to the inside. That is a mistake you need to avoid.
Correct Placement is timing your nitrous placement right so that you can get it's full potential. One place where you can use nitrous effectively is just before the corner ends. The reason for this is because the corner begins to straighten out and your car has to turn less. If you use a nitrous tank, your car may start to move towards the outer wall / lane divider but you'll quickly finish the corner and then you'll power through the straightaway.
Hope you guys like my theory. Share your thoughts about it if you wish!
