How To
How to get around corners quickly
In order to go faster in a race you need to get your car out from the way of other cars. This means you have to turn before anyone else turns. You will make others behind you brake if you do it correctly. This will help you avoid accidents with other cars. How can you corner fast?
First, you need to know where you're going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. This is why it's important to plan well. 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, consider when you are going to turn. It's best to begin after passing the first corner. Once you have reached the first corner you will know where you want to start. Now you just need to decide whether you'll use the inside lane or the outside lane.
If you're planning to take the inside lane, you'll want to wait until there's no traffic in front of you. This will allow you to move fast and avoid hitting anyone. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. If you do this, you might hit someone who is still moving slowly. 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. There are many options for tackling this problem. Some prefer to search for a gap between traffic. Some people try to find an opening 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 will be created all over town if you do this.
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. It takes more effort and takes more time. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
You need to accelerate quickly enough to make it possible to escape the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. You can also run off the road if you accelerate too quickly. You could lose control of the car and cause a 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.
When you've finished cornering, you need to slow down immediately. This is especially true if you're driving in heavy traffic. If you don't, you risk hitting someone.
