Just thought of something. When someone is late on the brakes in order to overtake a competitor, you can say that they are "outbraking" the competitor.

From the Castrol reference:
"The brave can attempt to outbrake their rivals and pass into the looping right-hander at Stowe. Another potential overtaking opportunity is at Bridge corner, but it’s not for the faint-hearted."
