Just curious how you all take turns. Do you get your braking done before the turn or do you hold the brake through the turn?



I personally brake before the turn. I was taught to finish all my braking in a straight line and not ride the brakes through a turn because it is bad for the brakes if you do so.

 

I do if I feel it's necessary. Brake pads are cheaper then a new car, or life for that matter!

 

In normal driving, I brake before entering the turn and accelerate out of the turn.



If I'm feelin' frisky, I brake even more so I can accelerate throughout the turn and swing that ass around

 

brake before and accelerate through it,

 

^same here, but I hold my foot on the brakes. Usually accelerate on turns.



It depends on the turn. Most often I accelerate because I don't need to slow down because of sway bars.

 

Braking through a turn is bad news, especially in an FF.

 

Brake into, not through. Accelerate out of. IF it is safe. Otherwise brake before turning. I know the roads I drive every day for the last four years like the back of my hand, and I know how this set of tires behaves now that it's almost worn-out. On my commute, I apex my turns and brake as deep into them as is required to maintain max. speed. It's my own personal below-the-speed-limit race course, and I'm the only participant. Within the bounds of safe/courteous driving, traffic and weather conditions, and the law, I have as much fun as reasonably possible on the way to work and back, daily. :biggrin:

 

I brake in the turn when appropriate. Brake before the turn when appropriate depending on what I'm trying to get done.

 

Depends on the road situation and if there's traffic after the turn, stoplights after the turn etc. If I'm not sure, I just default to using both feet at the same time. For circuit work, hell no. BUT, you can begin the turn on the brake(note however that this causes your tyrs to develop backward-facing shark-teeth at the outer shoulder. NOT good for road tyres!)
