Late "Trail Braking" actually is the last act you do with braking. After you have done your braking in a straight line, coming a corner, your using your turn-in (Steering) to induce a "touch" of oversteer, to help rotate, while still unloading the rear of the car. Again done in one smooth motion, releasing the brakes, as adding throttle, It's the last part of the act of Heel & Toeing. It takes LOTS of Practice, but done right, makes a smooth & quicker exit. Understeering (most street cars), and Front wheel drive cars use this technique to help rotate the car. Hope I explained this well enough to understand Cheers Tom.

Another aspect of handling, especially in a Cobra, is "trailing throttle oversteer" AKA "TTO."

If you want to experience this, it's way too easy

As you start to turn in to a corner, if you still have a bit of throttle applied, let off the gas suddenly. The tail will predictably snap around immediately, throwing you instantly into a spin.

Needless to say, try this where there isn't anything stationary for you to spin into, like a (truly) deserted parking lot.

Driving schools like for you to experience this under their watchful eye so you know a little something about what not to do.

A real life circumstance where this occurs can be a freeway entrance or exit. If you come into it a little too hot, and "snap" the throttle shut, well, you are either real lucky in the ensuing two seconds, or you get to experience collision insurance stress - the typical Cobra TTO spin will happen faster than most humans can react.

All in a good day's fun! Be careful...
