On some autocross tracks, you can make good use of off track driving to save time. Turn off all assists and you will be faster off track. Some examples are the over 180 degree turn at Nurburgring. With all assists off you can cut across and save time. Also, the S turn at Nurburgring near the finish line. You can shoot through that with no assists and little brakes and save a few seconds.

This is not good to do in longer races as your car will get damaged and you will loose speed and handling!

There are many sections like this on various tracks. If you can`t make the time cut, look for some off-road short-cuts.
