''"The general rule is "slow in, fast out". I'm still surprised how early the top WTTT drivers brake, but that's why." - ME7''

Actually it is not that they brake so early. They are the last of the Late Brakers; And we mortals are somewhere in the group of Too Late Brakers.

It is hard to resist the temptation to keep it floored, especially when chasing down other cars. If the Community Challenge did one thing, it was to help me practice entry and exit at Brands Hatch. My goal in the 10-lapper was to Lap the number two car. It meant that I needed to remain in control with no offs and few if any skids. It has come in very handy with the One-77. If I catch myself going over the edge, I back off a bit and sure enough, I start lapping faster.
