Are there any offroads that give better stability to the back of the car like a bias toward the rear or something?

"New" boosting trick!

This has been discussed within the community for a while but it has taken me far far too long to figure out how it works. What is it, you ask? So far it's been known as "brake boosting" but I think this one should be redubbed for reasons I'll get to in a moment.

You've probably had one or more wheels go spinning over bumps and crests in the past before. We've called these "skid boosts" for obvious reasons, all well and good there. But what about forcing the car to get one? Attempt a rolling burnout over a crest or pothole. For those not aware you can do burnouts even when the car is moving, it doesnt have to be parked to spin the wheels. One requirement, though, is to brake hard enough to convince the car to attempt one.
Read: hold the throttle at 100% all the time, dont release it. Only play with the brakes. Using the handbrake may work but is harder to get consistently.

Going over a crest or pothole makes this significantly easier to pull off as the car has less traction then, requiring less braking to be applied to exploit the burnout mechanic. Timing is of great importance as you dont want to brake for too long or too much, only enough to bump the engine rev a little. The result varies from very little benefit to rocketing past your opponents, depending on the car and road conditions. It's a very fine line between slowing yourself down, deminishing returns (no speed lost nor gained) or actually going faster.

Burnout vs Brake naming
The boosting here is caused by tricking the game into attempting a burnout, not actually slowing down. This is why I'm suggesting to call this "burnout boosting" as that is what's actually happening here, forcing the car to out-accelerate itself.

This has been added to the first post so you dont need to dig this post up in the future.

you press the brake to get a boost, hence why its coined brake boost by 100% of the people ive talked to so far, see no need to rename it imho

"BECAUSE..." -bememe

You can check out Grumples_Plox (grimreaper977)'s footage from round 2 of the MCEC.

Here's a clip ( clips.twitch.tv/AntediluvianBusyBatAMPEnergy ) of one straight. Look at the last time he brakes, how there's skidmarks, that's how you know it's worked. Also look at the speed he gained on the person ahead.

You can also keep watching the whole race since i think he said he did it more throughout.

I forgot to update my post with this video #fail

That kek level editing tho

EDIT: The reason I'm proposing a name change is because you dont "just brake", a requirement is to hold the throttle down. It's not the brakes causing the boost, it's the burnout mechanic that does.
