Quickest time around a closed course

What's the best technique for the quickest time around a closed course like Reno ?

1. The shortest possible route around the course pulling limit / max g turns around the pylons ?

2. A slightly wider route requiring less G in turns reducing induced drag losses and possibly a higher average indicated airspeed ?

Practical experience and theoretical discussion all welcomed !
