Ask Ross: How do I Get My Braking & Corner Entry Correct?
In this video I answer a popular question during the Speed Secrets Chalktalk I did on March 24, 2020. The question was about how to best get one's braking and corner entry speed just right to be a fast track driver? It's all about vision, End-of-Braking, trail braking, and the timing and rate of release of the brakes.

Braking and control of speed is my biggest issue. You really nailed it I think where I'm too focused on the initial brake point, and not focused enough down the road on the end of brake point. Great commentary on what to do as the fine tuning adjustments leading up to the EOB. Thanks for this!

@DorXtro

Thanks prof., i usually end up overslowing and then upsetting the car with throttle. Im also bit premature on the throtle usage and end up trashing most of my laps because of that. Ill use your tip.

So helpful. You're so right. I've been focused on the BOB and my eyes weren't up, looking at the corner. Thank you!

@ian_b5518

You described my problem exactly. Now to work on that TI/EOB area. Thank you.

This will help me with T1 and T3 at Road America. My new AP brakes forced me to relearn all my brake points. EOB makes sense. Thx!

So true, I feel so comfortable with this approach EOB, previously I was not confident approaching corners.

@sportbikejesus6297

Forgive me if I’m wrong but I think one aspect of finding the right EOB point could have been driven home more explicitly.

Hey, Ross, ive been reading your books and a lot of other info available out there and its all logical and makes sense. But the struggle that I am having is when you say that you "feel" you overslowed or underslowed your car and adjust the braking trace in the last section, how do you feel it ? Do you try to somehow trace the speed you need to carry into the corner mechanically by checking the speedometer or do you somehow try to sense it. If its sensing, how does that look like ?
