I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...

FWIW, I aim for the beginning of the inside curbing for my turn in at 10, which you can see easily.

Yes that is exactly what I was doing and I found out that is too late Now I turn in before seeing the curb at all, which results in less steering angle and I actually started getting on the curb, which seems to help tremendously.

Really? If you turn in any earlier you'll be in the flag worker hut?? OK though, if it works for you.

I agree the later turn in can get uncomfortable. I found, in my car, getting the chassis flatter or more balanced allows you to carry more speed without the drama.

Ironically, because this turn can feel uncomfortable, my tendency is to scrub too much speed, which means holding the brake too long, which means addind some steering with a light rear end.....which is why the corner feels "uncomfortable".

Agreed, if not a fraction sooner. ^^ opps...too slow.

Very true; hence if you employ your T3 technique to T10, "brushing" the brakes as you put it previously, the car then feels significantly more settled and you just "trust the grip" as Patrick Long put it. Easier said than done of course
