It is about eduction. You want to get better every time out. One of those lesson is compressing the braking zone. On VIR full course you want to compress the breaking zone into 14. You want confidence and consistency in your tires as you move to 2, to 1 and beyond 1.

and beyond the arrow after the 1

when your top speed is 80 MPH then you can brake at the .0001 marker.

earlier this year i had a student who showed up with a bone stock 175k mile e46 bmw on hoosiers. he was a decent driver but the tires were clearly saving his ass several times a session, they overwhelmed the chassis, and he didn't make a lot of progress. i suggested that he ditch the hoosiers, firm up the suspension, and run street tires instead. a few months later he requested me again as an instructor and had done exactly what i suggested. this time his mistakes were glaringly obvious and together we worked hard to overcome them. by the end of the weekend he had made dramatic improvement and was much smoother around the track, with correspondingly faster lap times.

Beat me to it

y'all just jealous of people who can turn in a decent lap time without 400hp
