In this episode, we're taking a look at how the car behaves in the air and quantify many of the bits of knowledge we found in the very first episode. We measure all the forces and impulses and use them to calculate the fastest possible fast aerial as well as when to is the optimal time to use a little boost and how to jump as high as possible without boost.

Shoutout to Beary who gave me the idea of practising RL with a metronome. Once again I forgot to add it to the video :(
