What is the secret?
The problem is not how hard or how soft to push on the pedal.
If there are not indicators for the braking zone on the track.
When do you let off the brake and turn in?

Learn from your mistake: Start off with spin-outs then power slides.
when your ready to stop slowing down
Eat me
I dont use brake markers ...
To me when you have to focus on brake markers ... Turn in points... Exit... Looking at horision points you start to connect the dots too much and u get overwhelmed.
I do everything off feel. My laps are very consistant.
Tons of people disagree with that and have very good points. But it comes down to you.
Oh, interesting.Originally Posted by jbfoco
Well I've been just looking at the brake markers and just turn in where I feel is the right part.
I guess I'm doing most on feel as well.
N, since your laps are consistant... you have a good feel then!
I don't think my feel would be as good as yours.
So I just want to see if there's any systematic way of doing/ learning so.

There are also different ways to brake.
I ve grown acustom to breaking sooner and driving through the corner, not having abs contributed. Where as sean (smack) drives much deeper into the corners with his abs and alcons. He turns on the front of the car, transfering the weight forward. Where as I come into the corner set and accelerating, comming into the turn as the suspension is made to work best.
I couldnt tell u which would be faster if we were driving the same car. But sean is faster.
get a miata, problem solved
My first reaction was exactly like Steve's. But in real life I drive like Josh. I don't track er anything but I prefer to let off the throttle sooner so I don't really brake and use acceleration to make it thru 3/4's of the turn.
Of course this is a lot slower in town but for example if i'm gonna turn left er right and makin it thru a stop light before it turns red.
It really depends on what car you drive. If you have a car with ABS, AYC, etc, you can brake pretty late into a turn. The size of the car also matters. Smaller cars such as miatas, elises and exiges allow the driver to brake pretty late in a corner or turn. Try doing that with a viper or a zo6.
Driving an AE86 or any other car with no ABS is a completely different story. You have to brake a lot sooner than you think.
