Is there a scenario where a layman would use it (i.e. evasive maneuvers)? In what scenario would a racer use it?
Edit: Yes, I mean accel+brake. Heel-toe, etc

I assume by “power braking” you mean applying gas and brakes simultaneously.
The only time this is useful, as far as I know, is rally driving in a FWD car. Sometimes you *want* oversteer when racing, and it’s hard to get a FWD car to do that. It can be done, however, by applying gas and brake at the same time – they cancel each other out at the front wheels, leaving brake-only at the rear wheels, and under the right conditions this will make the rear end step out in a nicely controllable way.
