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 must turn before everyone else. You will make others behind you brake if you do it correctly. You can also avoid collisions with cars coming in different directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, it is important to understand where your destination is. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. That's why you need to plan carefully. You can make a map of your route to help you see where you are at any moment. 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. It's best to begin after passing the first corner. Once you pass the first corner, then you will know exactly where to begin. Now you just need to decide whether you'll use the inside lane or the outside lane.
If you plan to use the inside lane, wait until there is no traffic ahead of you. You'll then be able move quickly and not worry about hitting anyone. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. You must not drift back to the outside lane. You could hit someone moving slowly if you do. 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 have chosen the lane, it's time to decide where to turn. There are many options for tackling this problem. Some people prefer to find a gap in the traffic. Others try to find a clear 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 can be caused by blocking the entire road.
After you've picked a spot to turn, you need to decide whether you'll be making a sharp left or a gradual curve. A sharper turn is more difficult than a gradual. But it is more difficult and requires more energy. You may also find it difficult to control your car correctly. These are the main reasons why most drivers prefer gradual turns.
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. Running off the road will be a problem if you accelerate too soon. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. You need to gradually accelerate in order to avoid this. Start with very little acceleration, and only increase it as you near the edge 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. If you don't, you risk hitting someone.
