[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 5999881, member: 6794"] I use trail braking quite a bit. It's just a habit of braking into corners. It's more of coming off the brakes slowly as to not upset the car. YingYang thing. Come off quick, the nose wants to come up, lightens load on the front tires just as you want weight to hold your line through the corner. Yes, it can be used to tighten a line for a pass or whatever. (see below*) You continue to load front tires, just as you lighten the rear so car rotates a tad quicker than just steering. Not so sure a handling issue as a handling tool. *A tip I have learned...finally. If I late brake hell bent for leather into a corner, I can catch cars much faster than me going in and even make up ground at the apex, but coming out, they pull away!?!!?? Found out they were braking a tad earlier and getting on the power quicker, with better launches off the corners. Late braking works with overtaking, but maybe quicker using a tad less other places. If you are still braking [B]at[/B] the apex, you are doing something wrong. What say you, Brian? Geez I sound like Nancy Grace. :xpl: [/QUOTE]
