Why people talk about slow-in-fast-out...

A car (usually) has better braking performance than acceleration performance, so if you can get on the power earlier you can make up more time than if you brake too late and end up on the power late. Basically it is a lot easier to mess up your corner on the way in (overshooting it), than it is on the way out (all you need to do is get on the power as soon as possible and you are away), so make the entry count, and if you are a bit slower on entry it is a lot easier to still do a good time than if you are too fast.

If you need marshalling even once in a race it will cost you 5 seconds + track position, I would rather have a safe approach to the track rather than take risks at every corner in the hope of gaining a couple of tenths per lap.

Also if you can keep your car on a neat line throughout the race you will be very difficult to pass, whereas if you are overshooting corners with any regularity you are just asking to lose position.
