BIGBUG?

6 posts by 6 people · 24 Aug 1996 - 27 Aug 1996

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? FRANCESCO CIAFARDINI

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

And if yes, it's a BIGBUG! > What You think about? > FRANCESCO CIAFARDINI 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 Yves

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