As you will recall from The Line, Part 5: Trailbraking, trailbraking is a compromise between turning and braking.

Once the car settle on the line, I could be on the gas wide open throttle. [...] [...] I actually found that trailbraking into the first part of Radius 18 helped rotate the car very well.
