Clipping the inside curb earlier than usual
Focusing on a stronger exit speed, apexing further into the corner
Not using apexes at all
4) “Trail braking” primarily helps with what aspect of cornering?
Shifting weight to the rear for better traction on exit
Rotating the car by maintaining some front-end grip load while turning
Minimizing tire wear over long races
