Unless you're using a ship with bad handling like Piranha, you don't need heavy use of the airbrakes. I tend to try to stay a little more just right of center (unless someone is right behind me). Then a few feet before the end of the turn (right before you go through the tunnel I left side shift to get a little more air then do a BR right before going through the tunnel.
