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.

Quote:
"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."

A great source of information there Terry. If I can make a suggestion, I'd love to see a discussion on setting up the car from your viewpoint.

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

Thanks for the extra little things that will help me out. It really goes to show you that those who are "Set Up Crazy" it may not be the setup but the driver.
