The bumpers on the track have the exact opposite effect as the gutters. The bumpers are RAISED to bump your car OUT of the apex to keep you on the road. Plus you cut across the grass a LOT. Learn to drive please.
Man you really think that was a gutter run??? You're cutting corners that's why you're faster. If that was a different game or better yet the real thing you'll be disqualified from the race and the lap won't count...
