As a long time RWD manual driver, how does the progression of events happen entering the brake zone on a road course for LFB?

It would seam as though you need to start out with RFB to manage the heal toe down shifts, then move to LFB after turn in.

But do you do LFB for carousels only? Or is it a auto-x skill where you're in one gear the whole time and so heal-toe braking is not required?

On more transitional corners (which seam to be most of them), trail braking is enough get the rotation started, and by the time you're done trail braking you are setting up for apex and track out so it would seam to be more of throttle application problem on acceleration then a brake balance problem.

At least trail braking is how I manage to dial out understeer on medium to slower corners.

(be gentle, I'm a rwd driver....)
