A technique used on the entrance of a turn where instead of discrete sections where you brake, turn in, and step on the throttle after, Trail Braking is where you brake later than normal, and continue to while turning in.
This is useful on cars that have a tendency toward understeer, as it puts the weight of the car on the front tires, making it easier to maintain front wheel grip while turning. This works on cars that tend to oversteer too, but it is not recommended, as it will likely induce more oversteer than normal.

Because I was in a Nissan Skyline with too much power, I knew Trail Braking wasn't needed, so instead I braked before, and throttled up to send it through the corner in true JDM fashion.

Get the pump the brakes mug.An action done under caution right before the green flag. This is done intentional when the leader knows he is fixing to be beat by the second place car. Considered by most to be a chicken shit action.
I did a racing brake check right before the green flag dropped to get separation from second place. I won the race even though I caused them damage…
