I mostly subconciously follow the principle of a "traction circle" {traction circle pic (spoiler tag)}  I mean er... one of these
I'm guessing that the method of braking and turning works because the ABS would probably end up jittering around the limit, so turning forces the traction usage to be maxed out. However I'm fairly sure that braking without triggering the ABS is still the fastest way to slow down, it just takes a ton of practise compared to mashing inputs

i will try not to let the brakes squeek and stay above the ABS. maybe even tune down the brakes... this was very helpful.
in the end its all about what the GTA driving engine wants and what not.
it seems that, the more finger moving, the better. fiddeling around the right pressure spot with triggers pressed half way is better than full braking. going for the sweet spot in every situation. always as smooth as possible.

I'd say that applies to most racing games. GTA V is exceptionally picky with how to drive though because of everything being quite exaggerated. Some cars I'd recommend to practise braking: * Brawler - primitive ABS making bad braking really punishing. * Sultan RS - the traction min is insanely low, so it ends up behaving a lot like the Brawler. * Felon - when at the sweet spot you'll hear a stuttery skid, do not brake more than this. You can hear the stuttery sound on a lot of cars, but I've noticed that the Felon is the loudest out of the cars I've used so it's the easiest to get a feel for. |

For me it depends on what car I'm racing with (different drivetrain and weight), I usually blip the brakes to slow right right down for a turn

I learnt it the hard way (well... still learning) that you have to be as gentle as possible with Left Trigger  Also it always depends what car you are driving - with T20 I need to be far more careful than with massacro. Basically for me it is all about learning how a car reacts and feel how and when to break. Practice, practice... I also experiment with stutter breaking, usually when I find myself going way too fast for the corner ahead  |

Well, I've been experimenting with this for the past couple of weeks, and I find that remapping the brake button helps with braking. However, it all come down to personal preference. I used to play hours of Need for Speed games on the PS2 when I was little, so naturally my hands would be adapted to using the square button as brake instead of L2/Left Trigger. Try experimenting with different buttons, ex.Triangle, Square, Circle, X, L1, maybe even R1 if you can handle it. It all comes down to whatever you prefer in the end, I know a lot of PS3/360 racing games used L2 as brake but I never played any of them.

Regarding the tuning, most of the time you don't need the power of the race brakes upgrade, in fact there's a few cars it adds far too much brake power and it acts as if the wheels have locked and you simply slide, the Brawler in particular is a good example of this, another would be the Baller LE (which I found completely unbearable with race brakes). It's definitely worth experimenting with different upgrade levels, as well as being lighter on the trigger. The Dominator. When you hit the brakes it almost stops turning altogether. |

I haven't looked into anything factual about it, but lately I've been tap braking. It seems odd, but I'm trying to force the car to shift down with each brake tap. In my experience, it works like a charm, especially in the air. It may not be real and just a placebo effect, but it works for me. It also works in Driveclub, which is where I learned to do it.

Why brake when there're other people around that can serve as brakes? |

Slam the brakes way too early -> get unintentionally rammed from behind by better driver who actually knows the proper braking points -> make a new breakthrough in aviation.

Never correctly. Either I break to early to late not enough or to much. Also I find that alot of people use my side or my rear bumper as a break. This strategy also seems less than optimal. Hope my glorious insight was helpful. Basically dont be me.
