How To
How to corner fast
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means that you must turn before everyone else. Doing this correctly will cause everyone to brake, as they won't know what is ahead. You will also avoid being in an accident with cars coming from all directions. How can you corner fast?
First, it is important to understand where your destination is. 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. While it might seem like a lot to do, having a clear idea of where you want to go will save you many headaches down the road.
Next, determine when you will start turning. Start by going around the first corner. Once you pass the first corner, then you will know exactly where to begin. Now, you can decide whether to use the inside lane of the outside.
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. Don't let yourself drift back into the outside lane. If you do so, you may hit someone 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.
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 looking for a gap or a void in traffic. Some people try to find an opening in the road. Still, others look for a point where the road curves around a hill or mountain. You need to ensure that you don't block the entire road, regardless of what you do. Traffic jams can be caused by blocking the entire road.
Once you have decided where you want to turn, it is time to decide if you'll make a sharp right or a gradual left. A sharper turn is more difficult than a gradual. However, it requires more effort and takes longer to complete. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. This is why most drivers prefer gradual turns.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. Too fast and you will crash into the bumper of the vehicle in front. And accelerating too late will cause you to run off the road. In either scenario, you could end up losing control of your car or crash. Accelerating slowly is the best way to avoid this. You should start slowly and increase your acceleration as you get closer to the edge.
After you finish cornering, it is important to immediately slow down. This is especially important when you're driving through heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic can lead to someone being run over.
