How To
How to corner fast
You want to make your car move faster during a race. This means you have the responsibility of turning before any other driver. 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'll also avoid getting into accidents with cars coming from different directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, it is important to understand where your destination is. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll probably be somewhere completely unexpected. Plan carefully. It's important to create a map showing where you're going at all times. 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, determine when you will 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 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. Once you have cleared the traffic ahead of you, then it will be possible to move quickly without worrying about hitting another person. Once you've entered the inside lane, it is important to stay there. Keep your eyes on the outside lane and don't drift back. You could hit someone moving slowly if you do. Be aware that crossing the line that divides the two lanes will cause you to lose control of your vehicle, and you could be in danger of being hit by someone else.
Once you have determined which lane to use, choose a point to turn. There are many ways to approach this problem. Some people prefer to look for a gap in traffic. Some people try to find an opening 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. You'll cause traffic jams throughout the town if this happens.
After you have picked the spot you want to turn on, you should decide whether you will make a sharp or gradual left. A sharp turn is easier than a gradual one. But it is more difficult and requires more energy. Additionally, it can be more difficult to drive your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
You must accelerate slowly enough to avoid hitting the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. Running off the road will be a problem if you accelerate too soon. In either scenario, you could end up losing control of your car or 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 in heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic can lead to someone being run over.
