In cornering, what is the impact of choosing a poor line, and what should you optimize to maximize exit speed?

Slower lap times and more tire wear.

Focus on braking late in the corner.

Maximize exit speed through the apex and reduce lap times.

When you corner, the path you choose through the turn sets how much speed you can carry to the exit. The aim is to pass the apex with as much speed as possible and then accelerate onto the next straight. That higher exit speed translates directly into faster lap times. A good line minimizes steering work and keeps the car balanced, so you scrub less speed and can power out earlier.

A poor line tends to trap you with slower speed at the apex and more time spent scrubbing speed through the turn, which bleeds speed onto the straight and increases lap times. While late braking or a fixed line might work in some cases, they don’t guarantee the highest exit speed across the variety of corners you’ll encounter.

So, the best choice is the one that emphasizes maximizing exit speed through the apex to reduce lap times.

Maintain the same line regardless of corner.
