In GP2, if you brake in a curve, the car brakes but going straight,
losing the original direction! It's a bug? And if yes, it's a BIGBUG!
What You think about?

Franscesco have you ever drived in snowy/icy condition ??? Try this in
real life, you'll get the same result. Since FORMULA1 cars are running
at the limit it's exactly like that. Just look at the next GP on TV, you
will see someone doing just this. IT'S NOT A BUG, you'll have to modify
your braking entry point (sooner) and when you'll be more
experienced,you can actually use some brake at the entrance of a corner.

Good luck, CIAO, Eric

No, it's not a bug.. sounds to me like you're locking your wheels
there.. you can turn the wheel as much as you want, but you're going
straight.. try not braking too hard next time.. gradually brake, don't
wait until the last minute...

Well, I don't have much GP2-experience, but if I brake hard with my real
car in any (wet,slippery!) curve, it tends to go straight, since my
1994 Seat Marbella has no ABS. And, as far as I know, ABS is forbidden
since 3 years in the formula 1.
Sounds like no bug to me. It's the real thing!

Next time, try to brake less hard or try 'pumping'. Have fun!

it's normal behaviour...

if you want to brake hard from high speeds, pull back the joystick
fully, and slowly let go as the speed drops... That way you can brake
very hard without locking up (after some practice)

Turning should always be done with no or very little braking - try it in
your normal car - brake at a high speed corner (try it at a parking lot
or something) - it won't do too much, it'll just behave like hell!

Trick is to get to the right speed before you negotiate the bend

First rule of high speed driving - don't brake in a corner because you WILL go
straight - not a bug, just very accurate.
