You should complete all your downshifting and braking when approaching any turn in a straight line just before actually turning the steering wheel, once you begin turning in, you should have your foot off the brake pedal and on the gas pedal, if not accelerating, then maintaining your speed thru the turn untill you can accelerate out of the turn..........Slow in= fast out and a faster lap.......
practise/practise and more practise will get you there and you'll be quicker and safer and have a ton more fun......
Been there,done that, have done my share of mowing the runoff area........
[QUOTE As I'm sure you're aware, street and freeway 'skills' don't translate to the track, not one damn bit.

But skills learned on the track will save your A$$ on the street, been there, done that also, saved me from a head on collision with a 1 ton flatbed truck a few years ago which I doubt I would have survived as I was driving a Toyota Corolla, quick thinking and standing on the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal that day saved my life..........
