    The art of rear wheel braking.

    What exactly is meant by that?
    If I put the brake balance further back and block the rear tires, I have no chance of somehow catching the vehicle.
    Can someone explain this to me? Best regards.

    Never heard of it. Having a significantly rearward brake bias is a sure recipe for disaster. On something like the Porsche cup you might move it back a bit to compensate for the lack of weight on the front end (and no abs) . Generally speaking the default bias settings have been tuned to be about right.
