Evan Wrote:no, the slowing is not from weight transfer. getting front end "bite" to turn into a corner is, but im not talking about that. there are many corners where you dont really need to brake, but you need to slow down a bit. depending on your car, hp and grip. T4 at summit may be that way for you, or entering the uphill esses.
I don't lift to slow down, that's the difference. The only time I lift is if I f'ed up the turn in/corner entry and I need to rotate the car, the rotation (what I was talking about) comes from weight transfer. If you are lifting you are not going as fast as you could be. If you are not using 100% traction then you are not going as fast as you could be, lifting does not use 100% of traction, only turning, acceleration or braking does.
