Throttle
You don't always need to press throttle 100 %. If you see a yellow line, it usually is better to stop using gas.
Curves
Instead of just using throttle and brake, depending on your car in some curves use 1) only brake, or 2) only use throttle at some points, or 3) don't use throttle or brake at all.
Driving Lines
Think of the shortest route from one curve to another, because every millimeter matters. Also, think of the entering angle to a curve, so you don't need to use so much brake.
Assists
At least in Forza 3 setting these on really do help with lap times: Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), Stability Control (STM), and Traction Control (TCS).
Forza Motorsport: Miscellaneous Tips
Drifting
In Forza 3, go to main menu, select "Free Play", "Hot Lap". Select a car and difficulty settings (assists off). When the race begins, select left on D-pad.
Test Drive
Your times will not be recorded in test drive mode (go to your cars, select a car and select test drive). At least in Forza 3.

Assists & Difficulty: Comments
You can look at the lights on the HUD and you can see the ABS and TCS lights are more probably on than the STM light.
With R class cars (R1, R2, R3) I use at least TCS. With R class cars I can "create" my own ABS by pressing the brake in short consecutive periods.
