I agree with what Sworup Thapa & Mugwumps have said. I'll add a bit with video reference so you can see the difference.

The first pic is from 8:06 in the video I linked above. You only see 2 bots on the back straight (one in the distance). Now look at 8:46, the very next lap & you can see 6 cars in total. The difference is I hit the perpetual point. The bots will keep coming at that tight interval now. If I crash, they will still be tight once I catch up. The Perpetual point is a bit of a mystery. It is not an exact fixed point on the track. if I run hard I can hit it in lap 7 or 8. In this race (pics) it was later because I wasn't cutting very aggressively right from the start. From what I've discovered it has to do with fast average lap times. that's why if you have a really bad crash in the first few laps you may not ever hit the point. Or if you're running too slow you'll never hit it.

A lot of people overlook that ALL assists must be off. Even steering causes trouble because it fights you while off-track. Tilt B will also give you the best control. When you lift off the gas and steer into the skid with Tilt B you pull out. With Tilt A you just keep going because you are full gas or full brakes.
