"RAM"But he's alone first part of braking, the initial “chunk” given to the brakes to deliver large bursts of speed. As you get closer to the curve you should modulate the brake pedal, gradually reducing the pressure until you are inside the corner.

This not only allows you to brake late and straight into a bend, but also to “load” the vehicle (ie, put weight on the front wheels) and therefore have more direction to set the trajectory.

TheABS (system that prevents the wheels from locking), this is very convenient for you: even when the pedal “shakes” do not be afraid, but let him work to accompany you. However, if you depress the pedal with all your might during the entire braking period, the car will not be able to turn as it should, because the front wheels will be too tight and involved in braking.

To understand where to slow downOn the track, you must rely on the signs placed before braking to take measurements, lap by lap, and to find out the exact braking point. If there are no signs, you will have to use other visual cues.
