Re: Engine braking (good or bad)

As said, unlike the old days brakes are sufficient to be used for braking. No need to put the engine in peril. Just downshift while approaching turns to ensure you're in the correct gear to maintain speed, especially long sweepers and multi-apex monsters, and accelerate out of the turn.
