Here is what I see as the keys to being fast in 1/8...

1) get the car setup so it can carry maximum corner speed
2) do not drive with drag brake
3) set your push brake for the corner of the track that requires the most braking
4)Drive into the corner with full control, meaning brake early and keep the car pointed forward (you will be much faster if you slowly enter a corner versus severly overshooting the corner)
5) allow the car to do its job through the corner-be patient!
6) accelerate SMOOTHLY while exiting the corner-you will have more control of the car if you don't spin the tires, and you will also save fuel!

I know this style isn't for everyone, and would take some practice, but if you could make improvements in these 6 areas, I promise you will be faster.

Either way, best of luck when you hit the track!
