I think this is what I struggle the most with.

I drove a track prepared Boxster S that had no track diet -- so my braking in SPB is wayyyyy early (and sadly I was probably an early braker to begin with).

Slowly, I'm getting more used to waiting longer and longer to brake. I've already bested my
Boxster S times at CoTA by 5 sec. I have about 2-3 more to go to be bottom end fast competitive and about 5 sec to be towards the pointy end -- which I doubt will happen -- I care too much about my car :-)

But I am amazed at how much time you can gain (or lose) in the braking zone.
