How To
How to corner fast
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. Doing this correctly will cause everyone to brake, as they won't know what is ahead. You will also avoid being in an accident with cars coming from all directions. How do you turn fast?
First, understand where you are going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. It's why planning is so important. You can make a map of your route to help you see where you are at any moment. Although it may seem tedious, having a map of your route will help you save a lot of time and headaches.
Next, figure out when your turn will be. The best place to begin is right after you pass the first corner. Once you have completed the first corner, your starting point will be known. You will now have to decide whether or not you'll use either the inside or the exterior lane.
If you want to move in the inside lane you should wait until there isn't any traffic. Once you have cleared the traffic ahead of you, then it will be possible to move quickly without worrying about hitting another person. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. Keep your eyes on the outside lane and don't drift back. If you do this, you might hit someone who is still moving slowly. You should also keep in mind that crossing the line dividing both lanes could cause your vehicle to lose control and make you vulnerable to crashes.
Once you have chosen the lane, it's time to decide where to turn. This problem can be solved in many ways. Some people prefer to find a gap in the traffic. Others prefer to look for an open space in 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.
After you have picked the spot you want to turn on, you should decide whether you will make a sharp or gradual left. A sharp turn is easier than a gradual one. However, it takes longer and consumes more energy. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.
Finally, you need to accelerate just enough to escape the car in front of you. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. In either scenario, you could end up losing control of your car or crash. You need to gradually accelerate in order to avoid this. Start slowly, but increase the acceleration as you reach the end of the road.
When you've finished cornering, you need to slow down immediately. This is especially important when you're driving through heavy traffic. You risk running over someone else.
