The trail braking technique drivers want in lower horsepower cars differs slightly from higher horsepower cars.
The first important thing to mention is that we never trail brake just because we think we are meant to trail brake. We use trail braking to help get the car directed or pointed in the direction we want it to go. If we can get that direction without a trail brake, then we will do that!
Trail braking just to trail brake results in one thing: over slowing corner entries.
When we need to introduce rotation on the entry of a corner, trail braking is the first driving characteristic coach Chris implements.
On the tighter corners his brake trace is harder with a shorter braking duration and on a longer corner we want to utilize a lighter brake with a longer braking duration. Our end goal by messing around with how hard and long we brake is to get the right amount of weight transfer into the nose of the car to remove weight from the rear end and improve steering/turn in.
We also attain power sooner due to the increased early rotation!
Good tips for these modern cars with ultra-stable rear ends (due to LSDs and multi-link susp). In my day (Porsche 944, BMW E21s), the main worry was bumpsteer and lift-throttle oversteer due to their crude semi-trailing rear suspensions. To this day, I sorta assume a car will have lift-oversteer and so I’ve been forced to retrain myself to use aggressive trailbraking to get the car to rotate. I loved my S2000 because it was one of the few modern cars that handled the way my hindbrain expects. Never Lift ;)
Nice video. I'm still working on mastering trail braking.
We all are!!! Ha
