Re: How To Brake?
Momentum. The fastest way through a circuit is with the highest average speed. If I can brake longer & more gently to allow my car to have better balance and therefore more lateral grip, I can keep my overall speed higher, resulting in a faster corner and ultimately a faster lap. There are some corners where this technique yields higher mph at every point in the corner segment. There are other turns where it may not. The skill is in knowing the requirements of each corner, not applying a blanket driving style across the board. That is why we coach using data; to figure this out.
