Two main ones I can think of...1st the nurburgring. You can save a good 10-15 seconds per lap with this one! Just cut through the grass on the chicane...aim for just to the left of the white barrier. The car should be pretty stable, but if you wipe out, you'll still save a few seconds! Next is the second chicane on Monza. You can save about 5 seconds if done right. Cut the grass right after the tunnel and end up just left of the barrier. Just be careful not to go in the sand or hit the barrier. You also make up some time by late-braking on the first chicane...again, just don't hit it!
With those 2 shortcuts, you should be able to get 1st easily. For me, Fuji and Indi were easy 1st place races. Just use medium tires and the setup listed on the link I gave you. You make up time on the corners. There's one in the middle of Fuji that if you brake early, you can full throttle through the corner and really make up some time. You should be 1st with a slight gap the whole race. For Indi, you should have 1st on the first or second lap. Just take it easy in the S bend and hammer the throttle on the last corner before you hit the main track. You make up the time on the first corner after the straight-away...just don't hit the red barrier!
I HATE the Azur track, so I just skipped it, but I have placed 5-6 before. Next is the Nurburgring GP Circuit and Monza. Both are easy wins with the shortcuts. Last is the Suzuka GP Circuit. If you get rain, use soft tires and you'll blow away everyone...if sunny, good luck...I almost got lapped...it was horrible.
And one final note...I used all aids on the car. It will help you keep your tires fresh by not spinning. Set traction control and ABS to 5/5 and turn on the others (I used mild for the steering one). And make sure to do the engine/chassis rebuilds before the race...
Oh, and make sure you have like 3 hours to play...each race is 30-45 min
