Trail braking.
 
I think that is what it is called …

Basically approaching a corner do you:-

Set your speed in a straight line, come off the brakes and then turn in – this is the official Police/IAM way

Or

Brake into the turn, perhaps all the way to the apex/back of the car in front!! :lol:

That would require me to think about it, and I just do it. Different braking for different situations.

When I'm 'on it' whether that be on the road or on the track.......infact its this most of the time.

I usually like to get the speed right before entering but don't mind trailing a bit to adjust if neccessary.

I do when necessary, depending how much speed I'm intending to carry through (or more accurately how much of a rush I'm in) but I try and avoid it when possible.

Depends a lot on the conditions, in the rain probaly not. I'm not unhappy doing it though but I would normally favor the rear if you are actually in a corner. It normally only happens when something unexpected has appeared and I want to lose a little speed.

TBH i'm dont tend to brake that hard on the road anyway so I have normally sorted my speed before the corner.

On the track, I don't do it anywhere near as much as I would like to! (size of cojones)
