Braking, Steering and Throttle inputs through a corner

The following diagram, Fig. 2, describes the same corner as above. This time, however, only the braking, throttle and steering inputs are discussed.

Understeer / Slip Angle

Trail Braking

Trail Braking (or trailing brake) is a technique where the brakes are applied through the turn-in point of a corner. It is an effective method for keeping a car that tends to push under control. Trail braking loads the front wheels causing them to bite. It may also allow a driver to brake later into a corner but be careful. Some corners and cars react badly to trail braking. See the figure below.
