How To
How to fast corner
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means you have to turn before anyone else turns. Doing this correctly will cause everyone to brake, as they won't know what is ahead. This will help you avoid accidents with other cars. How do you turn fast?
First, it is important to understand where your destination is. If you don’t know where your destination is, you might end up in a completely new place. It's why planning is so important. Make a map of your route so you can see where you're heading at any given 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, consider when you are going to turn. The best place to begin is right after you pass the first corner. Once you have reached the first corner you will know where you want to start. The next step is to decide if you want to use the outside or inside 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. Don't allow yourself to drift into the other lane. You could hit someone moving slowly if you do. You should also keep in mind that crossing the line dividing both lanes could cause your vehicle to lose control and make you 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 people prefer to find a gap in the traffic. Others look for a gap in traffic. Others still look for a point at which the road curves round a hill or mountain. It doesn't matter which method you choose, it is important to avoid blocking the entire road. If you do, then you'll end up causing traffic jams all across town.
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 can be more challenging than a slow one. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. Additionally, it can be more difficult to drive your car properly. These are the main reasons why most drivers prefer 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. You can also run off the road if you accelerate too quickly. You could lose control of the car and cause a crash. To avoid this scenario, you need to accelerate gradually. Start with very little acceleration, and only increase it as you near the edge of the road.
Once you're done cornering, slow down immediately. This is especially important if you are driving in heavy traffic. You risk running over someone else.
