Re: Need Braking Help

Since this thread, I have gone on an extensive hotlapping binge, learning from some really fast guys in the race sim GTR2. I shaved 6 seconds off my 'best' lap time and learned a lot, while getting advice, help, and encouragement!

I learned that braking softly and keeping it a constant degree was the correct way to brake. The braking points are key, when to brake, and when to ease up and off. If I'm entering a corner too quickly, you lift off the accelerator and gently push it down, of course when you're clear, stomp it to the metal lol. That's just my driving style. Blipping the throttle is never done, it's almost useless. Revving through a turn is another story as it helps to keep you on the racing line at optimum speed. Dab the brakes if you come too close to the edge of the track but just a bit.

Alright now it's time for some cold hard facts, BRING ON THE BOOKS!! I was told to buy Skip Barber: Going faster and the DVD. How do they compare?
