Threshold braking is one of the most important skills that all drivers should be familiar and confident with, as well as an absolutely critical skill for racing drivers of all disciplines to master.

Threshold braking is simply defined as the maximum braking force possible without locking up the tires. This threshold braking results in maximum deceleration on many surfaces, the exceptions being in loose, deeper materials where digging into the ground will be an advantage.
