Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Good question. My take away thus far, although seems obvious in some ways, is both braking techniques are valid and dependent on the corner.
For T3 @ VIR (IMHO):
A way to clarify the differences in braking techniques required think about the entry to T4 as it relates to bullet #1 above. For that turn, the priority is actually to get down to a certain speed, hence braking abruptly initially then easing off the brakes on a straight line is the proper approach IMO, at least for approach to the turn. As you are down to a reasonable speed to have enough lateral speed, then we use the brakes/throttle to adjust the attitude of the car, sometime trailing the brakes and sometime throttle oversteer to go through the turn. Same also applies to T10 from what I can see in the data, but it is less conclusive, I will keep looking at it though. However, Scott, you should see the T16-17a data, which was a surprise to me as it was not a section I was particularly working on. I had better slip times there as well, although my entry speeds were actually lower by 3-4 mph.
