One thing that's as true in RR3 as real life is to concentrate more on keeping your car at WOT (wide open throttle). You spend way more time on the straights than in the corners, so keeping your cornering speed up isn't as critical as getting a good run out of the corner to get back on the throttle as soon as possible and staying on it. That's where taking a late apex through a corner is often a quick way to getting down the straight the fastest and being able to overtake someone. That's pretty much where the saying "slow in fast out" as Chronic mentioned comes from. Try going "fast in" in a Formula Vee and you'll get to know "slow out", done it more times than I like to admit. Bob Bondurant says that you need to think of a road race as a series of drag races linked by corners. It's not something I was excited about reading from him since I'm not much of a drag racing fan, but looking at it that way works well in practice.
