How To
How to corner quickly
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means that everyone must turn before you. You will make others behind you brake if you do it correctly. You can also avoid collisions with cars coming in different directions. How do you turn fast?
You must first understand where you are going. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll probably be somewhere completely unexpected. Plan carefully. Make a map of your route so you can see where you're heading at any given moment. Although it may seem tedious, having a map of your route will help you save a lot of time and headaches.
Next, consider when you are going to turn. Start by going around the first corner. Once you have reached the first corner you will know where you want to start. You will now have to decide whether or not you'll use either the inside or the exterior lane.
If you're planning to take the inside lane, you'll want to wait until there's no traffic in front of you. If you do this, you will be able to move quickly and without fear of hitting someone. Once you've entered the inside lane, it is important to stay there. You must not drift back to the outside lane. You could hit someone moving slowly if you do. 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 have determined which lane to use, choose a point to turn. There are many ways to approach this problem. Some prefer to search for a gap between traffic. Others try to find a clear 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. 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. However, it takes longer and consumes more energy. This makes it harder for you to steer your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
You must accelerate slowly enough to avoid hitting the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. Running off the road will be a problem if you accelerate too soon. You could lose control of the car and cause a crash. Accelerating slowly is the best way to avoid this. You can start with very little acceleration and then increase it when you reach the edge.
After you finish cornering, it is important to immediately slow down. This is especially important in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
