Here, plenty of improvements can be made to score a much quicker lap. Many of the corners after the first overpass that wind past the Jeffry statue and into the first hairpin can be taken much faster if you are brave enough to powerslide through them. If you are looking for a safe route, my second lap has a fast grip pass through those corners. After the hairpin, it is important to control your speed through the next few corners near the field with the horses, so simply stay in third gear to limit your speed.
Any time you get to the suspension bridge, try to find an opponent to draft behind or even slingshot past. The computer cars drive very quickly down the bridge, so keep as much speed as you can when entering the bridge to avoid getting left behind. When you get to the sharp right turn down the exit ramp before the space center, don't be afraid and hold the throttle in. Instead of powersliding, it is much faster on this corner to bounce the car off the wall; it will take some practice, but when done properly the car will bounce once, knock down the orange cones, and leave the corner at about 300 km/h. Avoid hitting the wall with the back bumper of the car or bouncing twice or else you will lose a lot of speed.
The corner right before the space shuttle is especially tricky as it decreases in radius in the second half. If you enter too fast, you will hit the wall late in the turn. You can use a visual cue to help slow down at the proper time for the turn: after passing under the checkpoint, look for the 'turn left' signs mounted on the wall. Shift down to second gear between the first and second sign, then shift up to third when the space shuttle comes into view. If you failed to bounce the car down the exit ramp, you will have to shift down immediately after the second sign instead.
