So I've got a lot of learning to do as I'm more of an arcadey racer guy (full throttle, lifting to drift etc). What are the best ways to take these corners without skidding out? I see the AI slowing down from top speeds without losing maneuverability. I do as soon as I let off the gas...
you won't lose control if you let off the gas and stamp on the brake, but don't go turning in at the same time, at least not at first.
Do most of your braking in a straight line, then turn in to aim for the apex and let off the brake at the same time, if you slowed too much you can get back on the gas earlier, otherwise get on it later. By the time you're full on the gas you will mostly be steering only a little bit, the car will carry itself outward, but before you've run out of track, you'll be all pointed straight ahead again.
For best times you might need to apply the throttle gradually from the apex onwards. Although you can get a controlled sideways corner exit drift with more power, it isn't good for your exit speed.
For longer tighter corners you can start to watch the speedo and next lap watch it again then work out what speed is at the edge of grip, or what speed to brake down to.
