Feint Brake

Feint Braking is where a driver in the lead presses their brake to activate the brake lights, tricking their opponent into easing up on the throttle. This allows the leader to create a bigger gap between them and their opponent. This is especially harmful to the target if their car is turbocharged as the sudden release of the throttle would cause them to lose boost.
