Im sorry... Im not following what you mean by "push in the speedo"?

As for using push brake on the track, some corners you need to, most you do not. A hard 180 at the end of a good straight, yeah you might need to stab them. The rest of the time, try to do without.
This is what I am gathering. Most non-mod sedan drivers seem to do without push brakes entirely... except for those occasional corners.
