German term or phrase: Auslenkpunkt
From an article on the Dunlop Drivers Cup, a few specific motor racing terms which go right over my head!

"Einlenkpunkt, Scheitelpunkt, Auslenkpunkt - die Newcomer beherrschen den Rennfahrer-Jargon erstaunlich schnell."

I think Scheitelpunkt is apex, but not sure about the other two, so I'll list Einlenkpunkt separately.

Many thanks in advance!

exit
Explanation:
Slow In, Fast Out
Any corner you take has three parts to it: the entry, the apex, and the exit. A skillful driver slows down on the entry to an average turn, hits the right apex, and accelerates out of the turn on the exit. Some turns require you to brake in a straight line and then turn, while others work better if you can delay your trail braking until right before the corner. Most corners work best with a predictable apex, but by cornering early or late, you can adjust your speed and traction for the section that follows it.

At the end of the turn is the “corner exit”, which is the point where the car is no longer turning, and the wheel is straight.
