Re: More Finesse as a Driver

-Thanks!
If you're using standard joysticks, I found it helps to hold them down at the base of the stick instead of at the top. Also, a key thing to remember is "go slow to go fast". It doesn't matter how fast you go if it doesn't go like you want it to.

And practice. Lots and lots of practice.
