Rolling the car into the corner without breaking means you have to let off gas really early so you don't over shoot the corners. But if you use break you can stay on gas longer and hit the break late just before the corner and let the car roll into the corner and without drag break car will corner faster.
Yes, the comparison to the real car really helps. I'm just trying to process all of the suggestions that people are making and be sure I understand before I add them to the list of things that I want to try.

I really like your idea because it means that the initial braking is hard (75%) as you pass the trigger through the neutral zone and then softens (40%) while you are still on the brake. To me that means that I don't have to be quite so worried about the car coming to such an abrupt stop plus I can be turning in as well. Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share and clarify!
