Yes, of course of a curve I cannot lock the brakes, this doesn't help at
all.
But in a situation like Parabolica or most first corners which have a long
straight behind them. If you try to balance it on the fine line of heavy
braking and locking you will be very slow to slow down. Another bit harder
and the back goes out.
If you just stomp on the brakes the back end hasn't time to snap out from
behind stand the front hold it steady which itself is unrealistic I feel.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Perhaps but you know GPL man, your never going perfectly straight, the damn
thing shakes all over the place.
Anway the main point was the braking distance, this is weird to me.

Matt, bring the latest version of your new sim and you would be welcome

I've also found that, if not going too fast, I lose the tail of the
car entering a corner, I can hammer the brakes and stop the spin. I
lose time, but not wheels, etc.
None of this is good technique, but I do consider them to be useful
survival skills... <g>
