    You will probably be able to get through the earlier races without learning how to power slide. But if you want to beat the LEGO Champs on the harder tracks, you will have to know how to power slide. So why not think of the early races as your training ground and use them to learn how to become a power sliding expert? Power slides are not very hard to do.

    Playing the game Super Sliding Super sliding is a bit more tricky. Hold down the accelerator, brake and power slide buttons and turn left or right. This will make a very tight turn. When you let go of either the brake or power slide button, the car will zoom off in the direction you are facing.
