Default Driving Tips

I didn't see a thread in here with any tips on racing at Langley. What are some good techniques that you all use. I'm sure this thread will help novice and even experienced racers. Any advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Biggest thing to remeber that will help with times and carrying a lot of speed around the track is to go outside inside outside on the turns. Sound simple and common sense, but it is easy to forget.

It depends HIGHLY on the car and the setup. My Corolla just step on the gas and don't be afraid to carry it into the turns. Actually, thats pretty much what I've done on all my cars I've raced out there. Recomendations, brake before the turn, accelerate through and out.

If you're in the middle of the turn and you're still slowing down, you fucked up.

If you are ANYWHERE in the turn and step on the brakes, you are a pussy.

Try actually SLOWING DOWN before turn three. Yet, I do enjoy a good car smashing on the wall.

Another good one is on AWD dont let air out of the rear it will cause the car to push like a champ. If you cant steer the AWD when it enters the corner or in the middle it is pushing. Try putting a couple pounds in the rear and letting some out in the front. Letting it out of the front allows the front to steer entering the corner and through the middle and adding some in the rear will free it up or just leave pressures the same and just let some out of the front. There is a happy medium you just gotta work to find it.
