Are you on manual accelaration? and manual brakes?

Especially at Laguna Seca, the first corner is so slow with assists on that -like you say- your chances of winning a short format race have practically disappeared rightaway. Can't pass on the inside and don't get the speed for the outside pass. With manual accelaration you can hit the throttle earlier and have both options. With manual brakes too, passing on the outside is fairly easy.

If you're not used to manual accelaration, you can switch it off again after the first corner.
