I'm not an hypermiler, only an beginner ecodriver , and I never raced, so...

IMHO only the way to take curves (with the biggest turning radius) may apply because you can save momentum created by your gas burning. I commonly take roundabouts (France has so many of them...) at 40km/h (25 mph) if nobody is too close to me and I know this roundabout isn't too small for the speed (ie has a big enough radius, or has two lanes).
