Braking point and how hard you get on the brakes, because you're carrying more speed than the other guy.

Turn-in point, because he's at the one you would use if he weren't there.

Turn rate, because the corner is "tighter."

The corner changes its profile because you're entering from closer to the inside curb. In effect, it's as if the track leading up to the corner were narrower.
