Tricky tracks with mixed turns

Got tired of chasing fast ghosts? Struggling to win races but cannot buy upgrades? 
These tips can help you go faster with minimum effort, while having fun! 

Tip #1 is: look at the map! Walk each turn and identify the better spots to touch - blue inside (some are apexes, most at full gas), red outside (some braking, some coasting). 
Those spots will promote a smoother ride and much faster laps, and you'll look cool! cool

Take Turn 6 @Indy Road for a start... It looks like a good ol' U hairpin, but it's more like an apex in point 2 (first blue dot), then constant radius but increasing speed 'till the turn-7 apex (last blue dot).
In the first apex, brake just to settle the car if your machine doesn't exit turn 5 too fast, and in the second apex we need to slow down a bit.

Edit: title fixed

Taking the entire section of "Turn 6 until exiting Turn 7", we have decreasing-constant-increasing radii, and for slow cars we can go full throttle through the constant-radius part.

This post was inspired in a valuable comment by dbuck01 in the TT challenge section:

Remember to go there to gather some inspiration once in while (NOW!), and experiment competing in one of the challenges someday (RIGHT NOOOOW!)
