Wow im the opposite!
I drive my on and offroad cars like there running oneways, I hardly ever use the brakes, only ever used it at one track and that was to slow down before a tight turn. I try and be as smooth as possible, however, the fast guys go as fast as possible and brake as late as possible. I tend to coast it, dont try to copy people, try and take their lines but dont try there style, youll never pull it off, do it the way that feels best.
