although i did see a few other that flew into the pits and had to apply the brakes hardcore, smoke pouring everywhere....... guess it all depends

And actually in the Gran Turismo game, it drives automatically for ya in the pit. No need to worry about braking, killing people or anything.

yea some pit lanes have a designated speed limit, to try to limit the accidents. but i do understand its just another way the judges can see the "best" out of the competitors.

Absolutely. Master the right time to brake is one of the most important key to win a race. It's the combination of knowing your car's limit, knowing the road condition, knowing the track and the driver's judgement.
