Safe Cornering

Cornering is THE area where a good racer distinguishes himself/ herself from a great one.
Here are some techniques that will assist you in clocking in some lap times and doing it safely.

When cornering, always remember to keep the engine revs as quick as possible. This means using the entire width of the circuit to get your kart through. When entering the corner, keep to the far side of the track until you see the apex. When you see your turning point, gently turn the kart across the whole idth of the turn and maintain a smooth acceleration. This keeps the kart at maximum speed as well as helping you get a better grip on the circuit for better control.

Before setting yourself up for the next corner, always remember that the shortest route in to the corner is not necessarily the fastest route out. It's imperative that you maintain a smooth a drive as possible and if you're going to use the brake at all, brake before entering the corner and turning otherwise the kart will spin and you will be out of control and valuable time will be lost.
