Safety and Driving TipsSafety and Driving Tips

Safely use up the entire track to negotiate each turn!

Brake early and accelerate early. IN SLOW – OUT FAST. If you go in too fast you will come out SLOW, and then slide. You will then have lost all your momentum and lose valuable time.  This is crucial when approaching the hills.

If you slide, correct by applying opposite lock.  Drive smoothly and steer with precision to gain better lap times.

Use up the entire track in most corners; (creating the largest radius arc possible) from the widest part of the track going into the corner, across to the inside of the corner (apex) and then back to the outside of the track on your exit of the corner. This will give you maximum speed & reduce sliding.

Cornering – When approaching a corner focus on the apex as soon as possible, when you turn in and are confident you will hit the apex then focus on your exit.
