It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. On the track. I hate the Spec Miata's. Pass them on the straights, only to have them pass you under braking and through the turn.
I was taught to brake lightly. Easy on, easy off. Don't go jumping on the brake pedal. When you jump on the brakes.The nose goes down too quick, and the rear wants to lift. Upsetting the balance. And when you release the brakes. You don't want to just lift, come up slowly. When you lift quick. The front springs will want to bounce the front up too quickly. Then you are playing around with your dampening setting trying to find a compromise.
