Yo OutRunners!

I noticed something the other day for the first time in my 9+ years of playing this game.

Slipstreaming doesn't work the way it should. Instead of increasing your speed with every time you do the maneuvre with another car it locks you at that slipstreaming speed until you slow down to your normal top speed.

So let's say you slipstreamed up to 320 km/h and try to slipstream another car. Your speed won't actually increase but rather decrease back to 309 km/h and only then will it start to increase again. Using this knowledge we can do more advanced slipstreaming strats and take advantage of the other car patterns we're given to gain as much speed as possible.
