Maybe, but given it's a US made car, I'd be scared of going straight on into a wall.
In races, I'll touch the brakes there on at least the first speed lap, as unless it's something like an R1 car, I'm not sure how well it'll turn in at speed, and it's better to lose a little time from being over cautious than alot of time from going off course.
If someone's right behind me and I'm in danger of being passed, I may take a few more risks.
If someone's right behind you the greater danger is usually of being punted off I find so the greater risk often comes from appropriate braking, at least if you run wide you'll usually stay pointing forwards. I seemed to do most passing last night by waiting for people to out-brake themselves.
I use mirrors and place myself accordingly

For non Forza people reading this, you have to realise that Mr Dave wears driving gloves when playing the game and refuses to go above 56mph claiming "man was not to live at such speed" while tutting as he gets lapped again.
You clearly don't remember the way my fastest laps were usually seconds quicker than everyone elses last week, and by the end of the evening, I was top point scorer despite joing halfway through. All with, I'd imagine, fewer assists too (Only one on was ABS. I can only do without that with car tuning time)
