[GUMBALL]

For example:
.
Turn 6 (the carousel) is a difficult corner to make a pass on entry . . . BUT, it is the most important corner on the course, as it leads onto the fastest straightaway.
A wide entrance and a very late apex will allow a driver to be on the throttle earlier and take away most of the advantage that a higher-horsepower car has.
Many drivers apex this corner much too early, and, consequently are not able to get to full throttle nearly as early as they could be, giving away precious acceleration.

The lap that you passed him, you did a wide entry on Turn 6, and a good very late apex, then a good wide exit to the outer curb.
That allowed you to get on the throttle earlier than you had been doing, and that got you enough of a run on him to take advantage when he missed his braking point.

Turn 11 is a very difficult "late brake corner" as the preceding corners (8,9 and 10) are very fast, making it almost impossible to "get a run" on the car ahead.
But, a very good exit out of Turn 11 may allow a driver to get to the inside in Turn 12, allowing a pass to be made before Turn 1.
