Team Sonic Racing manual describing the Slingshot.

In gameplay, the Slingshot can be used by the player to give themselves a boost of speed with the aid of a teammate. In order to perform the Slingshot, the player must first drive onto and follow the visible tire tracks of the teammate that has the highest position out of everyone on the team. These tire tracks can only be perceived by those who are on the same team, and will have a set length before fading away. If the player can stay on their teammate's trail for a few seconds, they will automatically built up a boost. This boost will then be activated once the player leaves their teammate's charge zone. The longer the player stays on their teammates trail, the greater the boost they will receive when leaving said charge zone.

In addition to increasing speed, pulling off the Slingshot will charge both the player's Ultimate Meter and their teammates'.
