BASIC TECHNIQUES 1
Accelerating

Accelerating makes the car move more quickly, so the best thing is to keep your foot pressed down on the accelerator as much as possible. In an automatic car (AT) the best thing to do is just put your foot to the floor and GO! In a manual car (MT) it goes without saying that you will have to maximise your revs at each gear change and accelerate through the gears, but once you get used to that there should be no problem.

The difficult thing is to get away from the start line quickly, and this is particularly true in real life MT cars. If you rev the engine and engage the clutch too quickly the wheels will spin. When this happens, the car will not move foward smoothly, but if you don't get any wheelspin at all it may be sign that your revs are not high enough and you will not get a fast start. The trick is to keep the revs steady until the clutch is engaged - don't keep revving the engine up.

The revs will vary depending on the car, the road conditions and the wheels, so you will need practice to improve your driving skill and get the hang of using them properly.

BASIC TECHNIQUE 2
Braking

In sports driving, the most difficult and sensitive technique is braking. On a circuit, if you cannot reduce speed quickly, you will be unable to get a fast time.

Most beginners are unable to brake hard enough at first : in order to make the best use of the brake, you need to put your foot down hard. While you are still learning how to use the brakes properly, you should brake as hard as you possibly can.

More details will be given in the section on rear wheels, but when the wheels lock it means you have braked too hard. Your aim is to brake as hard as you possibly can without locking the wheels.

BASIC TECHNIQUES 3
Front engine, front drive(FF)

FF cars have the engine loaded in the front and front wheel drive. FR cars (front engine, rear drive) used to be the norm in most sedan cars, but FF cars are more spacious because there is no need for the mechanical parts transferring the power from the engine to the rear wheels, and now FF is the more popular.

However, in FF cars the weight is all at the front so when turning left and right and when accelerating or decelerating the focus is always on the front wheels and it is therefore difficult to balance FF cars as sports cars. In spite of that, FF cars have been used as sports cars for quite some time now and due to the more recent advances in technology, sports hatchbacks such as the Civic have become very popular. In addition, they can be made to go faster than second class FR cars.

However you should be careful of understeering in FF cars because much of the weight of the vehicle is on the front wheels, and if you drive for long periods whilst understeering the front tyres get hot and therefore begin to lose their grip. The best way to avoid this is to accelerate and steer as smoothly as you can. The main merits of FF cars are they do not spin easily and they run well even on wet roads.

kereta GT4 mmg takleh mody bodykit kee??

BASIC TECHNIQUES 4
Front engine, rear drive (FR)

FR cars are rear wheel driven with the engine at the front. In recent years they have declined in popularity as sedan cars, but as sports cars they have good balance and are still very popular. There are two reasons for this : for one thing, the front and rear weight balance is close to 50/50; also, as the steering is handled by the front wheels and the power comes from the rear wheels, a good driver can use all four wheels to their full advantage. This means that FR cars are comparatively easy to handle and to control, and can help improve your driving technique. In addition, they are also the best cars i which to handle drifting. So, if you learn the basic skills of driving this car will respond well and will be a lot of fun to drive.

Both the front and rear wheels have their own particular role in FR cars, so neither one nor the other will get hot, and you don't need to alter the way you drive to react to particular conditions. Also, one final merit is that an FR car will slow down gradually rather than suddenly grinding to a halt.

BASIC TECHNIQUE 5
Middle engine, rear drive (MR)

As you will probably know from F1 racing cars, if it's speed you're after the best car to go for is one with the engine in the middle. Taking the largest, heaviest part of the car, the engine, and placing it at the center of the vehicle, allows you far greater control when cornering.

An MR car is one with a middle engine and rear wheel drive. The nose of the car is light, which means that the steering is very sensitive, responding to the lightest touch. On top of that, the engine, being placed toward the middle of the car, means that the weight is displaced over the rear wheels, and this provides greater power on the road. Also, control. As a sports car the MR is undoubtedly the most suitable for the job, but the reality is that they are difficult to drive.

First of all you have to make sure the car is properly balanced, and whilst it is excellent for driving to the very limits when cornering, this car is very unforgiving of a driver mistakes. However, if you can drive well it can be superbly fast, and this is why the MR is undoubtedly the car of choice for the experts.

4-wheel drive (4WD)

As everyone knows, a car has four wheels. And no doubt you will agree that in order to get the most speed from a car, four wheels being driven by the engine is better than two. Taking the brakes as an example, years ago brakes were fitted either to the front wheels or to the back, but now all vehicles have brakes fitted to all four wheels.

The 4WD car operates on the same principal, that 4 is better than two, especially when driving on snow, slippery ground or rough terrain. For this reason, the 4WD is rapidly becoming a popular vehicle for use on paved or dirt roads, particularly for rallies, and more recently the 4WD sports car is being adopted for use on circuits and mountainous terrain too. The more powerful the engine, the more suitable it is to a 4WD car. However, the mechanism that transfers the power from the engine to each of the four wheels is extremely complex and the different wheel speeds required for cornering can be problematic for 4WD vehicles. It is particularly easy to under-steer in a 4WD car and this is certainly a problem for a sports car. However, recent developments in electronic technology have meant that the newer 4WD cars a lot easier to handle.

Therefore, taking its fantastic traction into account the 4WD is an extremely powerful sports car indeed. Especially in rain or other slippery conditions, the 4WD is much safer than its 2-wheel drive counterparts, and even leaves the powerful MR standing.
