How To
How to corner quickly
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means you have the responsibility of turning before any other driver. Doing this correctly will cause everyone to brake, as they won't know what is ahead. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. How can you corner fast?
You must first understand where you are going. If you don’t know where your destination is, you might end up in a completely new place. You need to plan well. You can make a map of your route to help you see where you are at any moment. While it might seem like a lot to do, having a clear idea of where you want to go will save you many headaches down the road.
Next, consider when you are going to turn. It's best to begin after passing the first corner. Once you have completed the first corner, your starting point will be known. You now need to choose whether you will use the inside or outside lane.
If you want to move in the inside lane you should wait until there isn't any traffic. If you do this, you will be able to move quickly and without fear of hitting someone. It is crucial that you stay in the inside lanes once you are in them. You must not drift back to the outside lane. You might be able to hit someone else who is moving slowly if this happens. Remember that crossing the line between the lanes can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, making it more vulnerable to accidents.
After you have decided on the lane that you want to use, it is time to choose a place to turn. There are many options for tackling this problem. Some people prefer to find a gap in the traffic. Others will look for a clear opening on the road. Some others try to find a point where a road curves around a mountain or hill. Whatever method you choose, remember that you need to be careful not to block the entire road. You could cause traffic jams in the whole town.
Once you have decided where you want to turn, it is time to decide if you'll make a sharp right or a gradual left. A sharper turn can be more challenging than a slow one. However, it takes longer and consumes more energy. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. Too fast and you will crash into the bumper of the vehicle in front. And accelerating too late will cause you to run off the road. In either case you will lose control of your vehicle and crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.
When you've finished cornering, you need to slow down immediately. This is especially true when driving in heavy traffic. If you don't, you risk hitting someone.
