Going strictly by physics, you should be able to go faster in the inner lane
(which would be accurately represented by having less spaces), but you’ll have
greater control in the outer lane because you’re turning in a larger radius (you
could apply some sort of control penalty that could result in wiping out). Real
racecar drivers actually cheat this system by turning the widest radius possible
while keeping the total distance traveled to a minimum, which is why they swing
wide to the outside of the straight sections and cut across to the inside at the
apex of a curve.
