Hey

So I’m starting to see a trend that I suck if I need to get the car stopped, turn right and back on the power.

I’m either overshooting to give myself space to get it turned or slowing too much and having to slowly coast round the corner so want to find the best place to hone these skills please
 
Perhaps the Spa-Francorchamps hairpin isn't far from the start, which would allow you to restart this hairpin very quickly.
 
I suggest circuit experience sectors so you can easily retry them rather than re-doing the entire lap(like Deep Forest S3), you also get the advantage of having access to the datalogger just for that sector.

Note: When looking when to brake in replays like the demo lap use 3rd person camera and check the moment the brake light turns on, the brake bar indicator on the HUD is delayed in replays so don't use that.

That's what the the ghost is really good for. Head on over to deep forest and start doing the laps.

Also, if it's one of the race cars, turn the brake balance to +5. It will reduce the ABS effect on the front and make stopping distance a little shorter. The goal is to have as little time as possible between 0 braking force and 0 acceleration force (ergo coasting). Coasting is lost time.

You want to bleed off the brakes as you approach the apex, and bleed in the power.
