Also, will there be other "novice" drivers attending?
That is a radio function and not an additional piece of hardware. Try it but don't be surprised about how long it takes to brake. You're just as well off by releasing the throttle earlier and rolling through the turns.

With a rear wheel drive car you need to brake BEFORE the turn because it will skid out if you brake in the turn.
