--- Quote ---I was watching some Best Motoring Videos while waiting for the next ID release and saw the drivers do something that doesnt make sense to me:
After braking into a corner and accelerating towards the next they often touch the brake pedal.
No idea why... ???

I'm sorry but Cov's answer is wrong. The reason for it is to allign the ballance of the car for the corner.
Next time you drive, feel what the body of your car does when you accelerate and brake. When you do one of these you do shift the ballance. On the track (or in a race), you break to reduce speed, back off hte brakes to bring the ballance back, then just before you turn the corner, tap the brakes to move the body weight slightly forwards again, aplying more sprung weight to the front wheels and thus haelping provide more grip. Also if you're entering a drift (however small), it reduces the weight at the back.

Also, depending on the situation, left foot braking.

Left foot braking is used to counter under-steer, so especially used in FWD and AWD cars. It is very very difficult to get right as pressing the pedal too hard will bleed off too much speed, ratehr nthan help tuck the nose of the car in.

Weight transfer won't happen unless your car is accelerating(positive or negative accleration, ie speed up or slow down). They will not want the car to slow down on the straight before you enter a braking zone. Most driver do it to pre-pressurize the line and make sure the pad are seated against the rotor, and also as a precautionary measure to see if the brake has any problem. This is especially critical for those racing in endurance type of racing, or even NASCAR(road couses especially). If you ever seen any of the footwell cam in ALMS or NASCAR races, they usually do that midway and before they would have to brake after a long straight. If they discover they have no brake they would have more time and longer distance to figure how to slow the car down.
Left foot braking is not necessary just for FWD and AWD car. Almost all the single seater series now, be it as F1 or Indy Car, they all adapt to using left foot braking. As it give driver a better control during the critical entry phase....
