Need a little help figuring something out

[Ron Sutton]

Yeah, I gotcha...that makes sense. You need to time the braking to load the front tires at the optimum spot, but don't brake for too long or it'll scrub off too much speed.
Yup !

This will be a big change for me at my next road course track day. I'm typically an easy braker on the road course, more coast into a corner then power out of it. My last instructor was trying to get me to charge the corner harder, brake more aggressively, then roll the corner faster.

That didn't quite sound right. You will need to brake softer.



What your instructor was teaching back then ... is for a more conventional set-up.
