Racing Line Editor - Perfect Cornering Techniques
Mastering the racing line is one of the first tasks I am doing to work on my lap times. Before I go to a racetrack, I will draw my line onto the map and prioritize the corners which I would like to work on first.
How to draw your racing line
I am focusing on the fastest corners first and then looking at the corners leading to a straightaway.
- The geometrical line is usually the best for fast corners connecting straightaways
- Late turn in and late apex for corners leading to a straightaway
- In a set of curves focus on the last corner leading to a straightaway. My goal is to be as early as possible on the throttle, apex late and maximize my corner exit speed
I think that satellite images of outdoor tracks are a great way to analyse the track and draw racing lines. 🏁
