Long Turns, 180º

We need to make these kind of turns without losing any speed.
The key to doing this, is driving in the inner lane, as close to the center as possible:

  1. Start at the far side of the outer lane.
  2. Gently steer towards the middle of the track and keep on steering.
  3. Make sure you are already positioned in the inner lane when the turn starts.
  4. Try to drive as close to the center of the turn as possible. Depending on your speed, you will be driving on two wheels.
  5. Make sure you stay in the inner lane until the end of the turn.
  6. Just before the turn ends, let go gently but keep steering until you end up in the middle of the track.
  7. If everything went smooth, you will not have lost any speed while taking the turn.
