I did trail brake every run at our last event in one particular sweeper and never had it kick in. I don't left foot brake and I'm not one to stab at the brakes, I usually brake more progressively. Another guy I autocross with on A6s has had it kick in and he said what triggered it generally is lots of steering input while stabbing at the brakes.

This may have something to do with it, although I've seen some literature suggesting the BRZ does not have Brake Assist
You mean STX BRZ, not WRX.
