plus most of us have a tendency to make the car squirley.. coming in with tons of speed.. real hard to see the edge of the track.. focusing on setting up for exit of 9..

i have yet to drive a car whos back end doesnt dance when braking late going into 9.

thats a lot of steering angle to be braking like that no?

braking needs to be done WAY earlier as you straighten out before turning in...


...in my opinion.. and what do i know.
I wasn't going quick enough to do any serious braking. I just needed a tiny speed adjustment with a slight slight brush on the brakes but as soon as I touched the pedal ABS kicked in.

It engaged the left front brake for a quick second. Nose dove down, rear unloaded, car got loose left side tires went off the track.
