LOL, not an F1 racer, but as my login suggests I do race cars in real life. The only RR3 track I've actually raced on is Laguna. I don't think there's much difference in racing line between RR3 and real life in general, which is one of the reasons I like this game. However, there are some differences. For example, I square off  longer corners more in RR3 than I would in real life, a direct consequence of not having any throttle modulation in RR3. In RR3 it can be faster in some turns to brake with 4 wheels on track, then at the end of the braking zone swing the car wide (2 wheels off) before turning back in. This increases turning radius so makes the cornering speed higher. In real life having wheels off track is nearly always bad, though there are places where you can grab some grass in real life and find little time - the bus stop at Watkins glen has a well-worn patch of dirt for this reason.

Needless to say, wall braking is not advisable in real life.
