When you hit the brakes, hit them like you mean it! Stand on them... You should be able to go from 130 to 60 in less than 2 seconds and dip into the apex. As you push your braking reference point further to turning point, thats when your going to want to trail brake into the turn.... It assist with the understeer. You can even learn ho to left foot brake to help.

As shown here in turn 1 of LRP:

same turn, track from in car: https://www.facebook.com/bryanduncan...2585834664262/


Using brakes for weight balance and distro is an entire conversation by itself, but as you progress as a driver, and learn your cars characteristics, knowing how and when to break to setup for a turn is good for a couple of seconds. LRP is my favorite spot as its semi local, and if you mess up 1 turn, your whole lap is wrecked.
