Huh? If your going round corners then it follows you have to go slower unless its more of a kink such as 180r at suzuka or blanchimont at spa.

You need to set the car up.

I think what he means is. If you look at the AI cars they can maintain there speed tru the corners. But if you use a keyboard you can't :) which is logical but if your using pedals just keep your foot steady :)

What's your input device. Do you use a wheel? What kind of wheel?
It's a lot to do with breaking, changing gear and accelerating at the right moments. Mostly it's practice.

I'm using keyboard right now, and my laptime is very slow than the others.
Is there anyway to do that with keyboard?

No, you can only do it with pedals as the keyboard is either on or off. With the pedals you can trail the throttle through corners, you can stab at it on an early apex, do what you want basically

well said todays horse.


if you are nifty with the throttle, then turn TC OFF, and you can power through the corners with a gentle drift

but this is hard too do for every corner

also there are different ways of tackling a corner, i.e. fast in, slow out, or slow in, fast out

also, you can late apex, early apex etc.

it is usually a natural thing, i mean, if i come to a new corner, i naturally find the right line and this is what most of the F1 drivers do.

sometimes they might try a different line, but usually the first line you ever take thru the corner will be the line you use for the rest of your career!
