For those wondering about how to manage ice, here's what I've learned: - Always pointing your entire car towards the place where you want to go for gradual turns can help. So for a gradual 45 degree turn, point your car 45 degrees at the start of the turn and maintain it. - Never steer anywhere at the very start of a race on ice. After that, do very gentle adjustments. - Make very smooth adjustments with analog controls rather than sudden taps of harsher tire movement. - The more steering and adjustments you make the slower you will go. - For a right quarterpipe bank pretend you are a bobsled. Line up with the left side first and keep your car pointed parallel with the center line of the road. Your car should line up in the red marked area of the bank for maximum speed. If you are able to line up your car perfectly without any bobbing, I find it is usually best to steer slightly in the opposite direction of the turn so you are slightly higher on the bank for a gentler ride. - For sharp flat turns, turn your car between 90 and 180 degrees then turn sharply in the opposite direction of the turn. Your tires should somewhat point in the direction of where you want to be heading. Exit the turn by straightening your car out quickly in the direction of travel rather than gradually can help get more speed. Also, while holding down the gas, tap the break during the initial turn and your car will rotate much faster, allowing you to get it at the correct angle for the turn faster. You can also use snow on the side of the road for a bit more traction during higher speed turns. On Summer 2020 25, the right sharp flat ice turn after the reactor boost can amazingly be done at full speed without letting go of the gas. Doing all of this right makes you feel like a boss. - Do not do bug turns on ice. Instead, start straight then do the process for a sharp flat turn. - Rarely you can turn your car around about 180 degrees while breaking then drive straight. This will slow your car down much faster than just breaking. - If you do all of this right, you should never let off the gas. - Combining all of these techniques in just the right ways for each turn is crucial for getting excellent times. I doubt this is even everything.
