If you could threshold brake right at the limit of adhesion every corner, every lap, you would be quicker. But, that’s impossible due to constantly changing track and tire conditions, and modern ABS will react quicker than a human to a tire starting to lock up. So, using the ABS when it kicks in is quicker than resetting.
However, slamming the brakes and using the ABS every time will overwork and overheat the calipers and fluid, and you’ll get fade, burnt dust boots, etc, even with track pads and fluid.
Since I race older BMWs with not nearly as good ABS as the M2, I try to stick with threshold braking. If ABS kicks in, I go ahead and use it for that braking event, vs resetting, and try to threshold the next time around.
So, a hybrid approach. That way, you’re still training your brain and foot to detect threshold, and you’re not overworking the braking system.
