Attack angle basically means the angle at which you approach the turn in point.

This has a huge influence on how the corner is taken and what happens afterwards.

A negative attack angle essentially reduces the turn's entry radius. It makes the corner tighter than necessary. A positive attack angle does the opposite and opens up the entry radius, creating a better line through the corner.

If you approach a turn from a negative attack angle what are some examples of adjustments you'd have to make in oder to stay on line?
