Combat the Chicane

After the second hairpin, you'll come up against a chicane. Go flat out - there's no need for braking here - and nail the manoeuvre like a pro. 

Power through the chicane:

1. The chicane's coming up. Push out wide to ensure you have enough room.
2. Don't be scared, go full throttle!
3. As you turn, lift off the accelerator (but try to resist the urge to touch the brakes).
4. Hug the barrier, getting as close as you can without touching it.
5. Turn your steering wheel sharply to turn in, then aim for that apex (corner)!
6. As your kart comes through the bend, put your foot back down on the accelerator.
7. Use the full width of track as you exit the chicane. You've smashed it!

Fearlessly take on the Fast Right-Hander

Taking on a right-hander can be daunting, especially when you need to do it quickly. Just remember, maintaining your speed is the key if you're determined to finish with the quickest lap time.

Master the fast right-hander:

1. Foot to the floor. Fast right-handers need speed, and lots of it!
2. Turn your steering wheel sharply to trigger the drift.
3. Lift your foot off the accelerator (without touching the brakes) to slow down the kart slightly.
4. Stick tight to the apex (corner) before straightening up.
5. Use the full width of track to finish your cornering manoeuvre. When your kart is in the centre of the track and facing forwards, accelerate away - easy!
