What are the techniques for turning a car?

[VonSteven]

Driving techniques for turning a car are: 1. Master the principle of "slow in, moderate throttle, fast out" when taking a corner: Before entering the corner and while still driving straight, you should first apply the brakes to slow down the car. If the corner is particularly sharp, further reduce the speed and downshift one gear. After entering the corner at a low speed, choose your turning path and adjust your direction, then press the throttle. At this point, the acceleration will shift the car's center of gravity backward, slightly lifting the front end, making the steering wheel lighter, and causing slight lateral skidding of the rear wheels, allowing the car to turn easily. When you see the end of the corner, straighten the steering wheel and, after confirming the road conditions are safe, accelerate quickly to exit the corner. 2. For general corners, choose the turning path of "outside-inside-outside": To navigate the corner quickly without generating excessive centrifugal force, make full use of the road width and aim for a large-radius turn that approximates a straight line. Therefore, before starting the turn, enter the corner from the outside, then move to the inside at the midpoint—meaning you should drive close to the inside at the apex of the corner. After passing the apex, shift back to the outside and exit the corner along the outside, adopting an "outside-inside-outside" turning path. 3. Method for uphill corners: When navigating an uphill corner, release the throttle before entering the corner to allow the car to enter at a relatively high speed along the outside. Then downshift one or two gears, choose your path and adjust your direction while lightly pressing the throttle. After passing the apex, shift back to the outside, increase the throttle, and exit the corner quickly along the outside. During this process, also follow the "outside-inside-outside" turning path. 4. Method for downhill corners: When navigating a downhill corner, release the throttle and apply the brakes before entering to significantly reduce speed, downshifting one or two gears. Then enter the corner at a slower speed along the outside, release the brakes, choose your path, and adjust your direction. After passing the apex, shift back to the outside, lightly press the throttle, and exit the corner quickly along the outside. During this process, also follow the "outside-inside-outside" turning path.
