>Last time I looked, a choice of tire compounds was not an option in GPL.
If you decrease the air pressure in your tires, you are making them
softer. This is _not_ the same as a soft _compound_ of tire.

% 1. Starting to brake at the same place each time
% 2. Use just enough pressure to avoid tyre squeal
% 3. Relax the brakes a bit if the car starts to swerve off-line
% 4. At turn-in, go to about half-pressure on the brakes
% 5. Release brakes and apply throttle when I think I'm going to make it!
% I just find it very hard to use the right amount of brake pressure so
% that I can control the car when it starts to turn in: too much, and I
% crash into the apex of the turn; too little, and I end up on the grass
% at the outside as I exit.
% I got much better at Zandvoort when I started using more gentle brake
% pressure to 'rally' round the turns, as the turn-in was less *** and
% more controllable, but Silverstone seems to require much more aggressive
% turn-in to get decent laptimes.
With setups designed for trailbraking, I find it useful to use both the
brake and accelerator at the same time. While applying brake to help
the car point into the turn roll off the throttle. While attempting to
start to accelerate out of the turn, continue to use the brake lightly
to keep some weight tranferred over the front wheels. It's a delicate
ballet. . . Of course this requires pedals setup on seperate axes.
