How To
How to get around corners quickly
During a race, you want to get your car out of the way of others so you can go faster. This means that everyone must turn before you. When you do this correctly, you'll make everyone behind you brake too, because they won't know what's going on ahead of them. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. So how do I corner quickly?
You must first understand where you are going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. That's why you need to plan carefully. Make a map of your route so you can see where you're heading at any given moment. It might seem like a lot of work, but if you've got a good idea of where you're trying to go, it will save you lots of headaches later.
Next, you should figure out when you're going to start turning. You can start by passing the first corner. Once you've passed the first corner, you'll know exactly where you're starting from. You will now have to decide whether or not you'll use either the inside or the exterior lane.
If you plan to use the inside lane, wait until there is no traffic ahead of you. This will allow you to move fast and avoid hitting anyone. It is crucial that you stay in the inside lanes once you are in them. Keep your eyes on the outside lane and don't drift back. 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.
Once you've chosen which lane you will use, you can choose where you want to turn. This problem can be tackled in many ways. Some people prefer searching for a gap within the traffic. Others try to find a clear opening in the road. Others look for the point where the road curves around hills or mountains. It doesn't really matter which route you take, just make sure you don’t block the whole 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. But it is more difficult and requires more energy. You may also find it difficult to control your car correctly. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. If you accelerate too fast, it will result in crashing into its bumper. Running off the road will be a problem if you accelerate too soon. In either scenario, you could end up losing control of your car or crash. To avoid this scenario, you need to accelerate gradually. You can start with very little acceleration and then increase it when you reach the edge.
Once you're done cornering, slow down immediately. This is especially important in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
