BakemonoRicer Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Never driven on a track, never driven that track! I'm gunna die Matt, few tips. - Brake (when you're going in a straight line) just before the corner. This shifts weight to the front end and allows a sharper turn in. Can unsettle the car if you brake while turning. - When you're going into the corner, look at the apex and look where you want to exit. You ideally want to take the corner in a straight line after you've turned in. -Don't be afraid of coming out wide on the corner, this can help to minimise tyre squeel and allow you to start accelerating earlier, the secret is to use all the space the track gives you. - Once you've hit the apex of the corner you can accelerate. 360rwkw in a RWD car will be a handful on the track so just go into it slow until you become comfortable with the track and the lines required.
