Somehow, I fall flat on my face in courses with chicanes and slaloms like Citta Nuova and Blue Ridge. When I use my airbrakes, I hit the outside. When I try to swing the craft around a turn, I either plow straight into the opposite wall or eat it on the inside. And sideshifting seems not to like me.

Any of you guys got suggestions on how to work the kinks out of handling corners? My problems are conning me out of medals, PLEASE HELP!

When entering these tight bends try (briefly) to ease off the eccelerator, you should find it easier, i did on Citta, Sebenco and the like :D

on citta the above is especially important on the peaks of the squiggle, it helps in the troughs too, but isn't quite as important.
on the peaks of you don't button off you'll generally hit a billboard or somesuch... it's for this reason that AP is so bad through that section

On the long chicane of Citta Nuova, let off the accel and keep the nose down. This might help. Keeping the nose down will further reduce your chances of flying overboard and keep you going for a little while when your off the accel. One time the AP drove me off the side 3 times in a row here.:pirate

If you double tap one of the airbrakes, your craft will side-shift to side so you can avoid hitting the wall

I see what you mean, I already catch air and slam into that one curve that begins the long chicane, I'll bet that on Phantom I'll completely overshoot the track!

hummm, except for practice on each and every track so you get you timing corectly the only thing that i can reccomend is to repadtly tap, but not too fast, the sholder button that is the direction you want.

Can't say why it helps but for me it does.(careful not to tap to fast or you will side shift and everthying will go wrong.)
