This car is a blast to drive as it is very balanced to start out with. Will outdrive many newer more sophisticated vehicles. Runs 1:26 on Trial Mountain.

Break Balance?
Post #1 - Posted 07/24/2005 2:37 AM
I noticed many setups going to a "mild" break balance (4/6) rather than an agressive setting such as what I have chosen. What is the benefit of the lower settings on the brake balance? Any and all comments about my tuning would be appreciated so I may improve my approach to the game.

For me its a simple as turning up the volume,....... If you can hear the tires squeel due to excessive breaking when entering a corner,........ your locking them up, (to a degree anyway), which results in loss or less control of the car. GT3 called for higher brake settings than I've found needed in GT4. I start most cars at 5 front and 3 rear. Remember that center of gravity shifts forward under braking, loading the front tires and unloading the rears. Lower rear brake force to prevent lockup and loss of control or fish tailing.

Reason No 2....... Many here at the 'Vault are using the Driving Force Pro wheel/pedal combo which allows a much finer input to the brake pedal than that of the dual Shock 2 controller. Hope I helped a bit, Brian
