Yes, trail and left foot braking- as (I think) J.Stewart once said -the last thing he learnt was how to come OFF the brakes. (ie, speed is about grip, and grip is about weight transfer) Left footing is great thing to learn. Funny tho, the advent of cameras all placed all over racing cars, many pros dont do it.

I wonder about trail braking in 911s...the nature of the car is that its very hard to upset once it pointed in the right direction, and the weight settled over the rear wheels-then you can use (almost) as much grunt as is available to drive out of the corner. As it was put to me once, to go faster...brake harder, concentrate on line and get on the power earlier and earlier....its all about exit speed.
