Default Re: How To Brake?

Slamming;

- Hitting the brake with your foot flying through the air on the way down?
- Getting on the brake pedal hard straight into ABS, but no air involved?

Braking is an art, certainly no expert opinion here, but I would think slamming staight into ABS (Without air) can only work in the beginning of a brake zone that is straight and gives you some time for the car to settle as you are starting to trail brake.

Or maybe where a quick stab is needed to scrub of some speed in a straight line...

I'm with Peter Krause, my laptime is mostly about how early I can get off the brake smoothly and on throttle smootly and quickly... If I can plop down the throttle I know I lost the lap.
