Does anyone else out there think it's strange that in f1gp1 you improve
your braking by putting the brake balance to the REAR? In reality you
have the brake setting to about 70% to the front because that is where
most of the load is under braking. I hope they fix this for gp2.

I would think this depends on how fast you are going, what type of turn
and how your wings are set. Brakes to the rear, creates understeer. Set
properly you can hit the corner perfectly. You make it sound like putting
100% brakes to the rear will give MAX braking. Besides "improve your braking"
is rather vague :-) I think it is well known that oversteer & understeer can
be controled via FRONT/REAR brake balance settings.

>The idea behind a good setup in f1gp is to have max front wing, a lot less

rear wing and brake bias to the rear.  The brake bias at the back should force
the rear to break loose as you turn in therfore putting it into a loose
situation, not understeer and therfore it will turn in harder.
