How To
How to fast corner
In order to go faster in a race you need to get your car out from the way of other cars. This means that everyone must turn before you. 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 can also avoid collisions with cars coming in different directions. So, how can you turn quickly?
First, understand where you are going. You'll likely end up somewhere unexpected if you don't know your destination. It's why planning is so important. To see where you are going at any particular moment, make a map. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.
Next, decide when you want to turn. 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 now need to choose whether you will use the inside or outside lane.
If you're planning to take the inside lane, you'll want to wait until there's no traffic in front of you. Once you have cleared the traffic ahead of you, then it will be possible to move quickly without worrying about hitting another person. But once you enter the inside lane, you must stay in it. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. 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've decided which lane you're going to use, you need to pick a spot to turn. This problem can be approached in many different ways. Some prefer to search for a gap between traffic. Others prefer to look for an open space in the road. Others try to locate a point in the road where it curves around a hill. No matter what method you use, you must be careful to not 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 is more difficult than a gradual. However, it takes longer and consumes more energy. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. If you accelerate too fast, it will result in crashing into its bumper. And accelerating too late will cause you to run off 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 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. Otherwise, you'll risk running someone over.
