Trail braking keeps weight loaded on the front tires during turn-in, which increases their lateral grip and helps the car rotate.

Common shapes include threshold (block of pressure), progressive (gradual build), and trail braking (high initial hit with smooth taper).

Shape — A sharp rise to peak pressure followed by a gradual taper is the ideal trail braking shape.

Corner analysis — Eight distinct factors measured for every corner: braking point, trail braking, minimum speed, and more

Reading Brake Input — braking shapes and trail braking technique

The smoothness of this handoff is captured by the Trail Braking factor.
