How To
How to turn fast
During a race, you want to get your car out of the way of others so you can go faster. This means that everyone must turn before you. When you do this correctly, you'll make everyone behind you brake too, because they won't know what's going on ahead of them. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. How can you corner fast?
You must first understand where you are going. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll probably be somewhere completely unexpected. You need to plan well. 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, decide when you want to turn. You can start by passing the first corner. Once you've passed the first corner, you'll know exactly where you're starting from. Now, you can decide whether to use the inside lane of the outside.
If you are planning to travel in the inner lane, it is best to wait until you see no traffic. This will allow you to move fast and avoid hitting anyone. 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. 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 chosen which lane you will use, you can choose where you want 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 look for the point where the road curves around hills or mountains. No matter what method you use, you must be careful to not block the entire road. Traffic jams will be created all over town if you do this.
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 sharp turn is much easier to perform than a gradual one. However, it requires more effort and takes longer to complete. Additionally, it can be more difficult to drive your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
Finally, you need to accelerate just enough to escape the car in front of you. 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. In either scenario, you could end up losing control of your car or crash. Accelerating slowly is the best way to avoid this. Start with very little acceleration, and only increase it as you near the edge of the road.
Stop cornering immediately after you have finished. This is especially true if you're driving in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
