Boost

Boost comes in bursts. The meter refills only once boost has been let go for 0.75 s, then at 30% of the meter a second; held, even empty, it never refills. So the quick way round is to run it dry and let go.

• An energy cell refills 15% of the meter; they sit in rows of five on the straights and come back every lap.
• A boost pad refills 40% and throws you forward.
• A drift pays boost on letting go (see Drifting).
• The Boost stat makes the meter drain slower (see Hulls).

Modules that feed the meter: Regen Brakes, Clean Line, Holeshot, Heat Sinks and Touchdown.
