Default Re: different ways of braking?

ok, lemme let you in on a little secret about setting up for a corner honda boy. in a front wheel drive car, downshifting before entering anypart of the corner is standard to use the engine to slow you do while entering the corner. this leaves your foot on the accellerator and not the brake pedal. in racing, the transition time from foot braking and shifting down after a corner is way too long and will almost always get you passed coming out of a corner. Specifically to front wheel drive cars, transmission braking is very useful since braking gets the weight onto the front wheels for steering through the corner and if you are already in gear and your transmission is doing the braking for you, your foot is already punching the gas coming out of the corner...which is how you drive a front engine, front wheel drive vehicle in "most" cormers. hit the brakes going in, apex early, power out on the furthest amount of straight then you can find. anyways, there are way too many possibilities for different braking styles, I'll go now.
