That being said, you are spot on about braking with a little steering input.
A couple of months ago, I was dong full course VIR and running a very hot lap. Hotter than I normally run. Coming up the uphill S's, I brushed the brakes coming into turn 10 and the car was scary.
After the run, I asked the instructor who I had asked to ride along what he saw.
"You had maybe 5 degrees of steerig wheel input. You were at the limits of the car and just that little bit of input combined with the slight braking unbalanced the car."
5 degrees... holy crips..
Turn 10 is the most dangous turn on full course and 90% of all incidents happen there.

Makes you *almost* yearn for the M3's longer wheelbase, huh?
So what have you changed up on your braking, besides minimizing steering inputs while adding brakes? (That latter must sound like someone who failed Track 101, but it's really pronounced on the Z4M...)
