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 you need to turn before others. This will ensure that everyone behind you is unable to see what's happening ahead. You can also avoid collisions with cars coming in different directions. How do you turn fast?
First, you need to know where you're going. You'll likely end up somewhere unexpected if you don't know your destination. You need to plan well. A map of your route is a great way to see where you are heading at any time. 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, figure out when your turn will be. After you have passed the first corner, it is the best place to start. 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 are planning to travel in the inner lane, it is best to wait until you see no traffic. This will allow you to move fast and avoid hitting anyone. But once you enter the inside lane, you must stay in it. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. If you do this, you might hit someone who is still moving slowly. Remember that crossing the line between the lanes can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, making it more vulnerable to accidents.
After you have decided on the lane that you want to use, it is time to choose a place to turn. This problem can be approached in many different ways. Some people prefer to look for a gap in traffic. Others prefer to look for an open space 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 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. But it is more difficult and requires more energy. Additionally, it can be more difficult to drive your car properly. Most drivers prefer gradual turns for these reasons.
Finally, you need to accelerate just enough to escape the car in front of you. Accelerating too early will cause you to crash into its bumper. Accelerating too fast will cause you to skid on the road. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. This scenario can be avoided by gradually increasing your acceleration. You can start with very little acceleration and then increase it when you reach the edge.
You must slow down as soon as you have completed cornering. This is especially true when driving in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
