What are some good racing tips?

So, I re-discovered this game which I have played a few years ago, and it's oddly a little addicting. Just a fun little time-waster. Still, I seem to have a hard time ranking any spot higher than 4th place in races, especially when I and all the other racers, all of which are AI, are using the General car
One thing I've noticed that I always have a hard time doing, is successfully making tight turns without: letting anyone pass me, without running into a wall, and without losing too much speed or acceleration. I created an AI with the skill level of 200, and named it "X" in reference to Racer X. I attempted to mimic his driving pattern, but it was harder than it looks, and it almost seemed like he was reaching speeds I couldn't even when I tried. What's with that?
So then, I made another AI level 200 racer and pit the two together on the Ohful track, where the yellow-headed Racer X trailed the red-headed X Racer until it found an opportunity to pass him by cutting corners. Funny enough, they didn't even look like they were going that fast.
I then decided to make two level 0 AIs and pit them against each other (Dumb & Dumber) to see how they work, and i noticed that they both kept slowing down and speeding up, and they kept "shifting" or turning their bodies left and right instead of just driving straight.
So, what are some good pro tips on how to not suck as much at this game? Especially when using the General car, and when handling turns.
