Cornering

Make each corner easier to repeat.

Break a corner into entry, rotation and exit. Each part gives you different feedback about what the car and driver are doing.

Establish the entry

Pick a visible reference point such as a road marking, barrier or building edge. It does not have to be perfect; it has to be repeatable. If entry speed and position change every run, the rest of the corner becomes difficult to evaluate.

Let the car rotate

If the car does not rotate as expected, adding more steering is not always the answer. You may have entered too quickly, applied steering too abruptly, or asked the tires to do too much at once. Try a smaller change and observe what happens.

Protect the exit

The exit is connected to what comes next. Running wide may sacrifice the following section even if the current corner looked fast. A controlled exit gives you room to accelerate and prepare for the next input.

Five-run test: repeat one corner five times while focusing only on entry position. Do not change the setup during the test.

Describe repeated mistakes precisely

“The car feels bad” is hard to act on. “The front runs wide after throttle is added on exit” gives you a specific behavior to investigate. Precise descriptions make both practice and tuning more productive.
