In the book "Speed Secrets 6"...

Ross Bentley is discussing braking and braking techniques to help get the car to turn. He talks about loading up the front end and using the brakes to get the rear end of the car to rotate around and sort of make the turn a miniture straight away.  As I'm reading this I'm thinking of the session I went out with my instructor at this past DE and he was doing the exact same thing going into T6. We would accel hard coming out of T5, probably 10-15 ft before entry into T6 he would brake hard with the slightest steering input and like magic, the rear end seemed to lift up and swing around. I completely understood what he was doing, being so green to this I just didn't understand the whole sequence of events as they were happening. So to help me understand a little better I am turning to you guys for guidance. What other situations would you guys use the brake to help the car turn? I know the obvious would be to avoid a collision but for the sake of argument let's stay focused on momentum maintenance.
