Trail Braking

The technique of gradually releasing brake pressure as you turn into a corner, rather than finishing all braking in a straight line. Trail braking keeps weight on the front tires, increasing front grip and letting the car rotate. It is difficult to master in a real car because mistakes cost money — the sim is the perfect place to learn it safely.
