nova_dust , nope no grip, unless you got r compounds ... and small wheels ... which are not a must but ohhhh so amazing to race on if you continue after your first event ...
I wnet from being at the end of the order with all seasons (13" steelies) I think it was 175/70/13's I have .. up to the middle of the results with r compound yokohama's A032's 215/50/13 on lighter CSA 13x5.5 rims.... I must say tires make the biggest difference in this game

stock tires are a great learning tool they screech as they lose grip which gives you an audio warning with R's it's girp girp tons of grip ...no grip and sliding through cones....

ohhh boy ...hehehe can I ride with you on your first run please? hehehe
ok apex ... normally when you drive and make (for this example) a right hand turn from one street to another street you hug the curb so that you don't enter a different lane and get hit ... well you would take a pretty sharp turn ... see diagram one...

ok now an Apex is the point in which the line you take reaches the closest to the inside of the corner ... the best line is to get this to happen in the middle of the corner like example number 2.
if you go wide in narrow through and wide exit, you should apex at the middle of the corner also this is the fastest line through a turn ...

and finally some believe that when you have a really fast straight after the turn it's best to late apex, thereby coming out of the turn faster then a standard apex, the down side is you have to enter the late apex type of turn slower then the standard
here's an example
