Once the front suspension begins to settle from the first phase of braking, be aware of the vibrations you feel in your foot from the pedal and what feedback the steering wheel offers you with how the front tires are managing the situation. Firstly, braking commences with a fast, but not instant, application of as much braking force as possible withough locking or forcing the ABS (antilock braking system) go all nutty. Professional racing also implies good knowledge of various types of footwork and pedal modulation, as well as bit of physics such as how to control the car's weight transfer during braking and how different surfaces and weather conditions affect traction and grip.īefore we go through those few important braking crafts, you need to know that there are three main steps as far as basic braking is concerned, relevant both on the street and track. Even in real world driving situations, a spirited driver knows how to use the brakes to make him go faster through bends.

Don't take it for granted as you would an on/off switch. You need to know that the middle pedal isn't there just to be slammed.
