Another advantage to cuts is when you are running the gauntlet. On races where you can't touch anything but it says nothing about off track, those cuts save you a lot of trouble. Even races where you have a max of 5 seconds off track, you can take advantage of some cuts to get ahead fast.

There are many videos on YouTube. Just google different track names and add "short cut" to the search.
