Too Afraid to Ask

A “line” is the route you take through a turn. Picking the right entry, the right point to aim for in the middle, and the right exit can make the car faster and easier to control.

Technical Definition

“Lines” are the path a driver chooses through a corner—where to enter, apex, and exit. Good line choice affects speed, tire wear, and how stable the car feels, especially in racing where small differences compound lap after lap.
