Players must patiently wait for the start countdown. Upon the fourth dot lighting up, jam the gas, but make sure your timing is on point.\u00a0 The better a player's timing is, the better the boost is off the starting line. But watch out for other cars because that perfect boost won't matter when you're rear-ending the car in front of you.\u00a0 Drifting in Rocket Racing Drfting for boost and collisions | Video via Dot Esports Players who are obsessed with winning racing in Mario Kart know how important drift boost can be. And it's the same in Fortnite Rocket Racing. The longer you can hold a drift through a turn, the better your boost rate is coming out of the turn.\u00a0 Drifting can also be used to take out competition through pit moves and well-timed shunts that clip another car's front end, causing them to spin out.\u00a0 Jump Boost and flying in Rocket Racing Jump Boost
