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 you need to turn before others. If you do this correctly, everyone behind you will have to brake too. They won't be able to see what's ahead of them. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, you must understand where you're going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. You need to plan well. To see where you are going at any particular moment, make a map. 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, you should figure out when you're going to start turning. Start by going around the first corner. Once you've passed the first corner, you'll know exactly where you're starting from. You now need to choose whether you will use the inside or outside lane.
If you want to move in the inside lane you should wait until there isn't any traffic. Then you'll be able to move quickly without worrying about hitting someone. You must keep the inside lane straightened once you have entered it. Keep your eyes on the outside lane and don't drift back. You might be able to hit someone else who is moving slowly if this happens. 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've chosen which lane you will use, you can choose where you want to turn. This problem can be tackled in many ways. Some people prefer to look for a gap in 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. You'll cause traffic jams throughout the town if this happens.
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. It takes more effort and takes more time. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. You could lose control of the car and cause a crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.
After you finish cornering, it is important to immediately slow down. This is especially important if you are driving in heavy traffic. You risk running over someone else.
