Hi Crowella im a noob myself to LFS but not to sim raceing.The secret to being fast is the drive out from corners.Where most guys go wrong is they brake too late and run wide then lots of time is lost before they can get on the gas.Try brakeing a little sooner to make sure you make the apex of the turn then on the gas as fast as you can
slow in fast out.To be very fast you have to be fast in and fast out but that takes time to master aslong as you make apex and get good drive out your times will be quick
