Re: How To Brake?
I'm with Peter Krause. From memory it was Sir Stirling Moss who said that the hardest thing he had to learn in racing was how to take his foot of the brake. Focusing on that certainly helped me improve lap times when I was stuck in a rut. But with the caveat that once you figure out how to take the foot off, then you can start focusing on how to engage the brake - i.e. later and harder.
Early on I used to focus more on the foot-on part, but to the detriment of my corner entry and speed. Through data analysis I finally figured out that's were I was loosing speed vs. my co-drivers.
I haven't driven much for the last 5 years, so now I'm back to developing my sensitivity to the foot-off transition.
