Mike, I read every post but still aren't sure. Are the newer (post 02/13 production I think) ECU cars still having DI issues?

Also, about trail braking. Every HPDE instructor I've had including two this year says to complete all braking in a straight line before corner entry. Maybe it's a CYA thing so they don't need to explain why I spun trail braking when I tried it solo. But really, what's to be gained trail braking? Is it a speed advantage or ability to rotate? How long should braking be carried into the corner? When should it be avoided (like an off-camber corner or rain)?. Isn't slow in fast out the safer, more predictable, repeatable way to lower lap times?
