How To
How to fast corner
During a race, you want to get your car out of the way of others so you can go faster. This means you have to turn before anyone else turns. 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. This will help you avoid accidents with other cars. How do you turn fast?
You must first understand where you are going. 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. It's important to create a map showing where you're going at all times. 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. After you have passed the first corner, it is the best place to start. Once you have reached the first corner you will know where you want to start. You will now have to decide whether or not you'll use either the inside or the exterior lane.
If you intend to take the inside lanes, it's best to wait until there are no cars in front of your. Once you have cleared the traffic ahead of you, then it will be possible to move quickly without worrying about hitting another person. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. 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 solved in many ways. Some people prefer looking for a gap or a void in traffic. Others will look for a clear opening on 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 chosen a place to turn, decide if you will be taking a sharp left or a gradual turn. A sharp turn will be easier than a gradual. However, it takes longer and consumes more energy. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. This is why most drivers prefer gradual turns.
You need to accelerate quickly enough to make it possible to escape 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 case you will lose control of your vehicle and crash. Accelerating slowly is the best way to avoid this. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.
Once you're done cornering, slow down immediately. This is especially important when you're driving through heavy traffic. Otherwise, you'll risk running someone over.
