How To
How to corner 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. Doing this correctly will cause everyone to brake, as they won't know what is ahead. You'll also avoid getting into accidents with cars coming from different directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, it is important to understand where your destination is. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll probably be somewhere completely unexpected. Plan carefully. It's important to create a map showing where you're going at all times. 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, you should figure out when you're going to start turning. 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. You must keep the inside lane straightened once you have entered it. You must not drift back to the outside lane. If you do, you could easily hit someone still moving slowly. Keep in mind that if you cross the line dividing the two lanes, you'll lose control of your vehicle and become vulnerable to crashes.
Once you've decided which lane you're going to use, you need to pick a spot to turn. This problem can be tackled in many ways. Some people prefer to find a gap in the traffic. Some people try to find an opening in the road. Others still look for a point at which the road curves round a hill or mountain. Whatever method you choose, remember that you need to be careful not to block the entire road. If you do, then you'll end up causing traffic jams all across town.
Once you have selected a location to turn from, you must decide whether to make a sharp left-hand or a gradual right. A sharp turn will be easier than a gradual. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
You must accelerate slowly enough to avoid hitting the car in front. Too fast and you will crash into the bumper of the vehicle in front. And accelerating too late will cause you to run off the road. You'll lose control and your car will crash. This scenario can be avoided by gradually increasing your acceleration. You should start slowly and increase your acceleration as you get closer to the edge.
Stop cornering immediately after you have finished. This is especially true if you're driving in heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic can lead to someone being run over.
