How To
How to turn fast
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means you have to turn before anyone else turns. If you do this correctly, everyone behind you will have to brake too. They won't be able to see what's ahead of them. You will also avoid being in an accident with cars coming from all directions. So how do I corner quickly?
First, understand where you are going. If you don’t know the direction you are heading, you will probably end up somewhere totally unexpected. This is why it's important to plan well. A map of your route is a great way to see where you are heading at any time. It may seem like a lot of work but once you have a good idea of the route you are trying to take, you will be able to save yourself a lot later.
Next, figure out when your turn will be. You can start by passing the first corner. After you have passed the first corner, it will be clear where you are starting from. Now, you can decide whether to use the inside lane of the outside.
If you intend to take the inside lanes, it's best to wait until there are no cars in front of your. You'll then be able move quickly and not worry about hitting anyone. But once you enter the inside lane, you must stay in it. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. If you do so, you may hit someone moving slowly. 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 ways to approach this problem. Some prefer to search for a gap between 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. It doesn't really matter which route you take, just make sure you don’t block the whole road. Traffic jams can be caused by blocking the entire road.
Once you have chosen a place to turn, decide if you will be taking a sharp left or a gradual turn. A sharper turn can be more challenging than a slow one. It takes more effort and takes more time. You may also find it difficult to control your car correctly. Most drivers prefer gradual turns for these reasons.
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. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. You need to gradually accelerate in order to avoid this. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.
Stop cornering immediately after you have finished. This is especially important if you are driving in heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic can lead to someone being run over.
