Well a "racing line" is the best route to take around a corner. "mashing the throttle" well its kinda self-explanatory, throttle all the way down. Also i'm sure you could of found these things out with the search button or better yet googled them. Also this might of not been the best place to ask this. But I hope that helped you out.

The terminology is something that is learned through exploration of the techniques of driving/racing/drifting. It would be a simple google search on either the terms you wanted or just general instruction. This way, you could learn from an example rather then try to have others explain it to you.

Good luck!

Theres a little more to a racing line. There is pre-apex, apex, and post-apex. Pre apex is when you brake and begin the turn, apex is the part of the turn where you can accelerate again to be at good speed out of it, and post-apex is the part after the apex beggining the straight or next rurn.
mashing the throttle is just accelerate as hard the car can do
