How To
How to fast corner
In order to go faster in a race you need to get your car out from the way of other cars. This means that everyone must turn before you. This will ensure that everyone behind you is unable to see what's happening ahead. This will help you avoid accidents with other cars. 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. Plan carefully. Make a map of your route so you can see where you're heading at any given 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. Start by going around the first corner. Once you have completed the first corner, your starting point will be known. Now, you can decide whether to use the inside lane of the outside.
If you are planning to travel in the inner lane, it is best to wait until you see no traffic. Once you have cleared the traffic ahead of you, then it will be possible to move quickly without worrying about hitting another person. You must keep the inside lane straightened once you have entered it. Don't allow yourself to drift into the other lane. You could hit someone moving slowly if you do. Keep in mind, however, that if your vehicle crosses the line dividing them, you will lose control and be vulnerable to crashes.
Once you've chosen which lane you will use, you can choose where you want to turn. This problem can be approached in many different ways. Some prefer to search for a gap between traffic. Others try to find a clear opening in the road. Some others try to find a point where a road curves around a mountain or hill. No matter what method you use, you must be careful to not block the entire road. Traffic jams will be created all over town if you do this.
Once you have selected a location to turn from, you must decide whether to make a sharp left-hand or a gradual right. A sharper turn is more difficult than a gradual. However, it requires more effort and takes longer to complete. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. These are the main reasons why most drivers prefer gradual turns.
You need to accelerate quickly enough to make it possible to escape the car in front. Accelerating too fast will cause you crash into its bumper. Running off the road will be a problem if you accelerate too soon. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. Start with very little acceleration, and only increase it as you near the edge of the road.
When you've finished cornering, you need to slow down immediately. This is especially important if you are driving in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
