My question is will you go faster if you hit a dash plate reverse (queen 3).

no. you go faster when you can add some "side speed" (with L or R) to your... uuuh... front speed (given by the dash plate). so 90deg is the best angle to hit the plate

Yes, hitting a dash plate sideways with JV will gain you speed, but remember that you won't SEE it on the speedometer. Don't be discouraged by not seeing that speed number increase, just look for the results in your time.

but you can only do this (90) on Champ circuit (Japanese Dash Technique)... as far as we know
anyway, sideways' the way!

Yes, but approaching a dash plate at an angle instead of straight forward is faster on any track, just like drifting and strafing are faster than driving straight ahead.

But what if on queen 3 I go over a twist thing and then turn so I go over the dash plate with 90deg angle. I think it is posible to do that.

g00d idea but I think it won't work I tried it too, no effect only that it's harder to control if it though works we will call it the "dutch dash technique"

Recently I was driving Q3, and I hit the twister just before the last dash plate. I then hit the dash plate sideways because I was spinning, and it pushed me straight ahead (facing left), and I was in perfect position to take the last corner!!
Unfortunately, I kept going sideways and crashed into the wall because I wasn't anticipating this event, but the potential might be there to release the accelerator and hold R at the dash plate to take advantage of this. It could be called the TDT (Twist Dash Technique) if we can make it work.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I would think that it angling into the twister in such a way that you'd also then hit the dash plate would be easier than learning the JDT.
I know this is exactly what was tried earlier, I'm just providing a specific experience I had to help someone if they want to do more testing.
