Default Re: How To Brake?

When I hired Chris Hall for coaching at Sebring he told me after a few laps with me that I'm the last of the late brakers...he could not believe how deep I got the Carrera into the brake zone. He said this is not the way to go fast and take car of equipment. Slamming on the brake as late as possible on every turn is wrong and Chris drove my car and proved it. Also there are some turn were you get off the brake early and balance the car and sail it into the turn and then get on the throttle. My whole lesson was about brake release and modulating after he got me to brake slightly earlier and softer. I can't wait for some more lesson later this year.
