How to Get a Great Corner Exit (Actionable Tutorial)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 เม.ย. 2017
- Today I'm examining how to make the most out of the exit phase of a corner.
The exit phase is important because it controls how much speed we carry onto the following straight. As we know, this is crucial because any extra momentum we take onto the straight accumulates to a significant reduction in lap time.
This tutorial will include:
- What is the exit phase of a corner?
- How to get the most out of the tyre
- Using all available grip
- Using all available track
- European, UK and USA track limit rules
- How to improve through the exit phase

You should see my exit speed when the school bell rings :D
Your brilliant explanations and clear diagrams have taught me so much! I discovered your videos about 3 months ago. I'm 62 years old, have been a fan of motor sports all my life. But never a driver. I've recently started track days and sim-racing. I really appreciate what you are providing the community. Thank you!
How come there is only 3k+ views.. by far the best sim racing teaching series in youtube!
This all seems so instinctive but in reality I find most of my students have no idea why they cannot control the car through a corner...fast. I tell them they need to learn how to drive slowly first! Silky smooth! Great learning series. Thank you.
Great stuff! The quality of all your videos really is fantastic, with very clear explanations. Learning a lot! Definitely subscribed.
Great videos! I watch these over and over again, I started karting this year. I'm 27, so, I have a lot of catching up to do Vs the guys in my category.
I was wondering if you could do some karting focused videos?
Or, does all this content directly apply?
These video's have helped so much and I find I understand more and more as I continue to kart.
Thanks Driver61!
One of the great videos I have ever seen regarding racing
Thanks Scott have a great day!
Great content! I find your videos very helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Great content, very well presented. 10/10.
Hello Scott !
Very interesting video, thank you ! I have a question though : you keep saying "when the car slides" instead of "if the car slides" . Does it mean that you always make the car slide ever so slightly in corner exits ? Or do you have to find the very limit before the car starts to slide ? Thank you, cheers
Thanks Scott 👍
Great vid. I'll share with the guys on iracing.
@driver61 love your videos.It's helps me out a bunch. I consider myself a intermediate racer. I have been racing indoor-outdoor karting for about 2 years at local karting place in cali called Le Mans karting. I would love to send you one or two short go pro footages, aiming for some pointers in what I could improve on. Hopefully I get to hear from you soon.
Thanks for watching! Check out the rest of the Driver's Uni series including how to trail brake (bit.ly/2PypIMK)

7:05 - if there is an asphalt runoff area you can exploit the rule that way, but putting wheels on the actual grass... one of the easiest ways to spin
Scott can u pls reply i have a doubt..suppose if the car is at the apex and i am applying the throttle and i am directing the car towards the exit kerb.. can u tell me wt should be my steering angle?shd the steering be straight while exit or it can be steered towards the exit kerb? The problem is if i keep the steering straight the car is not pushed to the edge of the track thats d problem so i am not able to utilise the full track if i keep the steering angle straight
Brexit also applies to racing rules?
get it in there late apex, at apex you turn ur wheel straight immediately and gun it. _all skill_
then do a 360 no-scope like a boss in the next corner with all the delta you saved
Do you advise turning off traction control? My ND2 Miata rear end kicks with little sign! Hard to know when to catch it
Can you make similar content on motorcycle, dirt bike and rally car? That would be amazing. Especially the dirt bike (motocross) because it's what I have acess to...
hes a pro race CAR driver
CrunchyBurrito22 yah. I know that. but he clearly understands a lot about the physics of this kind of thing. And it's not that different. Even I, just an amateur, can relate a lot of this advice to the dirt bike, and is helping me a lot actually :)
Ye, and how about a motorboat content? It has an engine too. Read Keith Code "Twist of the Wrist" for motorbike advice.
Where can I find the cheat sheets?
Under what circumstance is it ever okay to have wheels on the grass (even if it is allowed by the rules)? Doesn't that induce a spin-out?
I suppose if there's enough grip then it should be okay.
Like curbs and anywhere else on the track, tentatively explore. If it lets you go faster, then use it.
First of all, really good quality and interesting videos, thank you Scott. I have one question though.
Ayrton Senna was famous for kind of stabbing the throttle when exiting a corner, you can find videos of that from the internet. This is against the advice to be very smooth with the throttle to not upset the balance. Still Senna was extremely fast driver and respected as one of the fastest ever. Why did he do that throttle stabbing? And how he was still so fast?
This is just a theory so take with a grain of salt. But during the time Senna was racing engines where changing from carbs to electronic fuel and ignition. During this time all cars of the era were cable throttle. As a mechanic I know if you smoothly get on the gas the ecu will adjust the fuel delivery as per the fuel map giving you somewhere near a stoiciometric value and accelerate the car gradually. If you however Senna the shit out of the gas pedal, the ecu reads that the throttle is wide open and uses the wide open throttle fuel map and riches up the mixture. So it is possible that he was (knowingly or unknowingly) using this to give him more power out of the turn and gaining that speed down the straight.
lolz larkin Very well explained. Another theory is that he was keeping pressure in the turbo. Another theory is he was so in tune with his car, that he was adjusting the balance with his foot.
Your both partly right, wasn’t he a rally driver also driving one of the first AWD cars as well? In a AWD car mashing the throttle can save you. When in doubt throttle out
Exit speed after domino’s pizza 🍕 is crazy 💨
How would this vary in a low-powered indoor kart?
I have heard that carrying momentum is a lot more important for karts. And I heard that low power vehicles can overlap the grip of acceleration and turning a lot more
Have you become a force ghost
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the tutorials, they are great and I've been really learning a lot from them!
Just a question about using all of the track and in particular, the kerb... most of the tracks I have been to have a "saw tooth" type ripple strip for the kerb, some more aggressive than others.
For the more aggressive ones, are you saying they should still be used as part of the "track"?
I guess my question really gets down to the advantage of opening up the corner vs the disadvantage of possibly unsettling the car due to the saw tooth affect.
Hi, thanks very much for your feedback!
It's really a case of how aggressive they are. In Europe now, most kerbs are so smooth that we can use all of them - but elsewhere they may unsettle the car a lot.
It's really something you need to decide yourself, with the addition of data analysis if possible. Good luck! Scott
Thanks for the reply Scott!
Yes, data can be quite interesting... I have used Harry's Laptimer on a very short (it's around 1 km with a 250 metre straight) technical track and was surprised to find that my quickest times did not have the highest average speed. Moreover, it was possible to vary the amount of track used such that I could see a variation of around up to 10% in distance over the course of a lap.
Have you ever found that for a very short and technical track, using the maximum amount of track available actually increases the distance to an extent that the speed gained is not enough to make up for the extra distance travelled?
Silky smooth = platform of car is happy
If You have everything under control, You are not fast enought....
I would say that grip circle is more ellipse than circle... Just slightly...
simple,just make a turn as straight and easy to flat out exit as possible heheeheh,late braking without locking wheels turn slightly into a turn,and on top of a corner ,start adding a speed,on exit flat out,simple as fuck :D
