FH6 Corner Exit — The Most Important Part of Any Corner
The corner leading onto a straight is the most important corner on any track. Exit speed determines your speed for the entire straight, and the straight is where lap time lives.
Exit Priority Rule
Sacrifice entry speed for exit speed on any corner leading to a straight longer than 300 meters. Math: 3 mph extra exit × 300m straight = 0.15-0.3 seconds gained. Entry speed sacrificed: 0.05-0.1 seconds lost. Net gain: 0.1-0.25 seconds per corner. Multiply by 10-15 corners/lap = 1-3 seconds without touching your tune.
Rule reverses for corners leading into other corners. If the next corner is 50 meters away, prioritize entry precision — exit speed is wasted because you're braking again immediately.
Throttle Timing
Apply throttle as you unwind the wheel, not before. Throttle before rotation finishes = understeer or oversteer. Throttle too late = time wasted. Optimal full-throttle point: the exact moment front wheels point straight. Find this point for every car and corner.

Practice This Technique
The best way to improve this skill in FH6 is targeted practice. Pick a track with corners that demand this technique (like the stadium section for corner exit, or the mountain pass for clutch work). Run 10 laps focusing ONLY on this technique, ignoring lap times completely. Then run 5 laps at race pace. Compare your sector times — you should see 0.2-0.5 second improvement in the relevant sections. Record your fastest lap with the Telemetry HUD visible and compare your throttle/brake/steering traces. The key indicators of improvement: smoother throttle application curves (less spikey), later brake points (telemetry shows you braking 10-15 feet later), and more consistent lap times (within 0.3 seconds of each other). After an hour of focused practice, most players see measurable improvement that carries into competitive racing.
One specific FH6 corner exit drill I recommend: find a 90-degree corner on the Horizon Mexico circuit and practice exiting it at increasing throttle percentages. Start at 50% throttle at the apex and note the exit speed. Then try 60%, 70%, 80%. You'll find the point where the tires can't take more power and you spin. That threshold is your car's corner exit limit. Back off 10% below that point and you'll find the fastest consistent exit speed. The mistake most players make is trying to get back to 100% throttle as soon as possible — the fastest exits come at 70-85% throttle with smooth application, not 100% with wheelspin corrections. Practice this on 3-4 different corner types (tight hairpin, medium sweeper, fast kink) to build a general feel for your car's exit capabilities.
