TryChangeStepWhere
01

Carry a little brake to the apex · Drive

Releasing the brake before you turn lets the nose rise and the front tyre go light exactly when you need it to bite.

Watch: Too much and the entry goes loose instead. Add it a little at a time.

02

Brake two lengths earlier · Drive

Most entry push is simply too much speed. The front tyre is already saturated when you ask it to turn, and no amount of steering adds grip it does not have.

Watch: You will feel slow for a lap. Compare the exit speed, not the entry.

03

Aim at a later apex · Drive

Turning in early makes the corner tighter than it needs to be, which is understeer you created before the corner started.

Watch: Costs a little entry speed and returns it on exit. Worth it anywhere a straight follows.

1–2 car widthsDrive

On this car: Almost always too much entry speed rather than a car that will not turn. The front tyre is small and saturates early; there is no aero to help it. Light spec car: technique and momentum lead; braking-limited, so braking technique moves up; traction-limited, so rear grip moves up.
