Early Brake Release
Colin Mullan
Car Racing
Instructions
In this drill we want to release the brakes just before turning in. You should notice that the car remains fairly neutral entering the corner since we are not inducing much front load, and you may have higher minimum speeds. Alternatively, you may be braking earlier than you would if you carried the brake in deeper! This is a great drill to spend more time focusing on how where you release the brakes effects the car balance in each corner.

About the coach
I’ve been racing nearly my entire life, with experience in everything from open-wheel racing, touring cars, to GT and prototypes. In 2020 I won a GT4 America Championship driving with Andretti Autosport, and have been recognized as one of the most winning drivers in GT4 racing in the US. My goal as an instructor is to teach you the “how and why” to improve as a driver. It’s easy to tell you what to do to be faster, but becoming a better driver on track takes more than that.
