Ferrari's have no brakes? (GPL)

I have been driving the Lotus almost exclusively, and trying out the prancing horse leaves me with the impression that the brakes were an after thought on this car. Were they really that weak in real life? Its kind of like having ABS though (and no, brake assist is not on). Chris B.

Uh, seems I got bit by the "default setup" at race time bit. My,my how 46 gallons of gas can throw you off, hehe... "cbybee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ofbtg$jtt$[email hidden]...

Ferrari has best brakes in the game, only beaten by the Cooper which is slower and lighter and so brakes better for only those reasons. -- Tim, [email hidden]|[email hidden] http://legends.sports-gaming.com/forums.shtml FREE forums for your league... http://legends.sports-gaming.com Sim racing website loosely based on gpl... cbybee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ofbtg$jtt$[email hidden]... > I have been driving the Lotus almost exclusively, and trying out the > prancing horse leaves me with the impression that the brakes were an after > thought on this car.

Actually, I think the Moose-a-rama (er, "Honda") also has very good brakes in terms of being strong, fade-free, and lock-resistent. -- JB In article <8ogsuk$t05$[email hidden]>, "Tim Wheatley" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Ferrari has best brakes in the game, only beaten by the Cooper whichis > slower and lighter and so brakes better for only those reasons. > > -- > Tim, > [email hidden]|[email hidden] > http://legends.sports-gaming.com/forums.shtml FREE forums for yourleague... > http://legends.sports-gaming.com Sim racing website loosely based ongpl... > cbybee <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:8ofbtg$jtt$[email hidden]... > > I have been driving the Lotus almost exclusively, and trying out the > > prancing horse leaves me with the impression that the brakes werean after > > thought on this car.

The Ferrari actually has the best brakes but the default setup is just not right for it as the brake balance is way out making it swap ends a little too easily. Nice car on most if you get a good setup. Some Call Me Tim

I could swear that I heard that the Brabham has the best brakes in the game? Rick "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
