I keep my map at the most zoomed out mode. so if im travelling fast and i see a tight turn just enter the map, i immediately smash the brake down. i might stop before the apex, in which case i continue a bit. next lap, i brake later. If i end up braking too late, i brake earlier. reapeat until i find the right place.

on most obtuse angles, i DONT brake. i go a bit off-track and continue (like on hockenheimring, turn 1)

on some places like suzuka's obtuse turn i can go through with less than a tap on the brake (although this involves a bit of a drift on most cars)

on spa francorchamps, turns 2,3 and 4 (raidallon) i stick go as straight through the place as possible. i typically exit at 230kph on the ariel atom V8. i can manage ~180 on lower cars (like the BMW Z4 350IS) it typically involves a long skid starting at the apex of 3 and ending at the apex of 4. if i do it wrong, i exit at 160 after hitting the wall.

my basic method of learning braking points is to brake VERY early and then start braking later and later on future laps until i find the sweetspot.

'course, some cars like the ariel atom 3.5 brake much later, so the braking points i learnt earlier no longer apply, so i make a few approximations before each turn until i'm used to that car.
