THE ONLINE GAME

these can be turned on in the options menu, and appear 
when turns come up. The lines are dynamic: not only 
do they show the best turning line on both an entry and 
exit level, but they turn red when your car needs to slow 
down, and green when it’s all right to speed up again. 
They are a good guide to handling turns, especially 
when you’re racing on King level–but remember that 
they are only a guide. Good cornering performance is 
still up to you.

Taking a right-angle turn requires a good balance 
between entry and exit speeds, and the racing line 
passes evenly near the apex. There are more of these 
corners in the game than any other type. Experiment in 
time trials to find the best line through them.

Hairpin turns generally have two accepted lines, based 
on circumstances and objectives. For safety (low-risk 
cornering), the easiest line to execute is the one that 
hugs the apex all the way around the inside of the 
corner, keeping wide on both the turn entry and exit.
 

The more challenging line is also the fastest, 

but you must practice this one much more than the 
standard line. Start at the center of the turn entry, move 
to a late apex curve along the outside edge of the turn 
when you pass the middle of the corner, and then follow 
the outside through the exit chute. You should blast 
out of the corner, still along the outside edge, while 
maximizing your exit speed.

Chicanes create 
a horizontal 
diversion in the 
track. Treat them 
as S-turns with 
a narrower path 
between apexes.
