saving yourself from the PIT
 

first step: they hit you. your first instinct is to "drift" your way by turning towards the direction you [want to be] going. but don't, instead turn backwards down the track.

2:keep turning like that. when you are facing backwards and touching their car, shift into reverse and turn away from them (so the front pushes them).

3:when you are sideways on the track and still pushing turn the other way again and start going forwards again. they will be backwards and you will be heading down the track again, but in first place.

NOTE: THIS IS ONLY ABOUT 1 IN 10 TIMES SUCCESSFUL. THOSE 9 TIMES USUALLY RESULT IN A CRASH. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH A RARE OR PAINTED XMOD.
