The Art of Braking
01/17/11
The Art of Braking and Car Control
By the Lone Star Region, Porsche Club of America
Copyright 2005 & 2007
THEORY 101
A race car driver makes hundreds of decisions per lap under constantly varying track and car conditions. When to initiate a turn, when and how hard to brake, when to get on the throttle, etc. etc. lap after lap; decisions, decisions... Throw in a bunch of other fast- moving cars and in addition to all the previous variables, you now have to avoid hitting the aforementioned vehicles; and, if you want to win, you’ll need to actually pass them! To do this, within the excitement of a race, you must now try to identify, and then take advantage of, the next driver’s minute timing error to execute a pass. Just another morning commute on the Katy freeway!
Of all the skills a race car driver must master to be quick around a racetrack, none is more complex or critical than braking. Few racing skills are harder to learn than the ability to slow a race car at the limits of its braking capacity. Slow down too much or too slowly and you’ve lost critical lap time. Slow down too little or too late and you’ll be in serious trouble, fast!
Telemetry shows that Michael Schumacher spent less total time on the brakes than any other Formula One driver. In other words, he was more effective with his braking than any of his competitors. Most passing in a race is done under braking, going into a turn. Half a second, the time it takes your brain to decide to step on the brake, is 110 feet; you just got passed and your competitor is on his way to winning the race! Read More...
