How Does The Racing Line Work?
This video describes the ideal geometric racing line, but that doesn’t necessary mean it’s the fastest line. This gets more complicated and depends on the vehicle, if it has more power it may be beneficial to hit a late apex to straighten out and take advantage of the fact that the vehicle can make up lost time with faster acceleration. Basics first though! :)

I’ll never use this equation, but just in case…
I’m just gonna memorize it and sound smart in front of non car people. Hopefully they don’t ask a bunch of questions.
I wonder how many subhumans really understand this. Lol
So, why “late corner entry”?
False. The fastest way around a turn is sideways with lots of smoke.
