Like said above.... take the corner a little differently.... work out on the 1st session where your turn in point is, then work out where you need to brake to reach the turn in point at the best speed for you.

All braking markers will be different... but all turn in markers whould be pretty much the same. Basically you're picking something like a post... end of a fence etc etc... Once you're comfortable at that... move it up a fraction. e,g 1/2 a count after there... and progress.

In a lot of ways having the braking marker as your 'maximum' braking point is a little silly. You're going to end up scaring yourself time after time after time.. you'll end up not letting off the brakes and messing up the corner....

Brake so you are off the brakes 20m from the turn in point and work on increasing your corner entry speed.

You will gain a max of 0.1 second on braking but you could potentially gain a lot more by entering the corner 5mph quicker.
