GPL: how to use separate brake and throttle axis

I have separate axis gas and brake.

I have heard that you can begin braking with more stability by keeping your
foot on the gas before entering a corner and I have found this to be true.
I often get of the gas for a second in the lotus before braking to allow the
car to stabilize and braking without lifting this doesn't seem necessary.
Also, getting off the brake with about 25% throttle seems to allow you to
avoid engine braking on the rears and take a corner harder after braking.

But take the parabolica at monza for instance, what do you do?  I've been
going 100% throttle right into braking, stabilize the braking to impending
lockup, lift throttle, continue to stabilize, downshift, then start going
about 20% throttle and maybe 10% trailbraking.  Does this sound right?

Comments appreciated.

generic is a no go with diamond monster sound.

Hi Peter,

Have U tried The Generic input device?
