Managing the throttle when a race begins for Need for Speed: Unbound on PC

When you are moving from a motionless start in NFS, you need to control the throttle for a smoother start. Although it might seem obvious, it can be quite simple to hold down the accelerator in an attempt to gain a speedy start, and in certain older games, that was a viable choice.

On the speedometer, a little white notch that indicates the perfect throttle point can be found to encourage better driving; when the needle is in the ideal position, the notch will turn green. If you do it perfectly, you should have a great start and leave straight away. Overrev will cause wheelspin, poor acceleration, and time loss.
