Default corner entry

Is it normal that I feel like a wimp because I can't go WOT towards a sharp corner at high speed and go straight to threshold braking at the last second while trusting myself to hit perfect heel-toe downshifts without having my oversized foot slip off the gas while still maintaining that kind of braking? Entry speed and turn in is friggin hard. I'm good at maintaining speed through it, taking a good line, and exiting fast, but it's hard as hell to do the first part well, it's also way more dangerous I guess. I need to fine tune my driving skills. I've done it before, but it's like I don't trust the car or myself. I always roll off the gas in advance and brake too easy.

i'd say yeah thats normal. It only takes like a second or less to go
Oh Sh:t I need to slow down.... but when I go through a corner at crazy speeds it's just so damn cool.

There's a few of them I like to mess around with.
