The High Groove - Cornering 101
Terry Crouch checks in this week with the first article in a new "old" series here at Operation Sports entitled The High Groove. This week, Terry takes a look at cornering in simulation style racing games in his article, Cornering 101.
"If you continually run the car in way too deep and must use a lot of brake to compensate for it, your lap times will easily be a full second slower than somebody who hits the correct cornering speed every time. Slowing to “just above optimal cornering speed” will be the desired goal."Tags: None -

Good article suggestion. As many of you know, Terry is a walking racing encyclopedia. I can't wait to read more of his articles and learn from them. To me, it was tough to edit it up because I was learning a lot while editing so I got off course a bit. Great article man

Re: The High Groove - Cornering 101
There are shorter ovals where you have to brake pretty hard such as Martinsville, New Hampshire, Richmond, Milwaukee, Bristol. They're typically shorter tracks but I also find that using a little brake on 1.5-2 milers like Charlotte and Fontana can actually allow you to maintain your speed on the straight longer before slowing down as opposed to just lifting (obviously without running too deep into the corner). Since deceleration is quicker using the brakes you lose less time reaching the proper cornering speed.Comment
