Do you mean not on the gas before you hit the wall? Because lifting and/or
lifting and shifting down does nothing after the wallrider "catch" kicks
in...you are not going to be accelerating for a specified period of time and
then you are released. I played around a bit and scraped the walls on
purpose. The delay is a little ridiculous. I don't understand why the car
cannot just be slowed down more when it scrapes the wall...as it would be in
real life. I'll have to try coasting into the wall scraping it...I have a
feeling the catch will kick in then, too.
P.S. If you are legitimately trying to save the car from hitting the wall,
you are often on the gas when you hit it.
