Yeah, for on road this makes perfect sense. The challenge here when using Brake Force as you described it, would be to make sure that you have enough drag force dialed in to affect the weight transfer of the car. Too little and it's essentially useless but if it's enough you may not even have to tap the brakes going into certain corners. The down side is that you have to get the trigger to neutral, which means that you're off the throttle. Thanks!
