The brake and gas pedals are not on off switches!

Agree. I mumble “smooth is fast” under my breath while on track all the time, but heavy breaking doesn’t alway mean it’s not smooth. I’m working on my EOB (end of braking) timing. Ross Bentley has a lot of good videos on the subject. He suggests focusing on EOB as much if not more than beginning of braking. Takes trail braking to the next level mentally.
