GPL: how to use separate brake and throttle axis

3 posts by 2 people · 25 Oct 1998 - 30 Oct 1998

I have separate axis gas and brake. I have heard that you can begin braking with more stability by keeping your foot on the gas before entering a corner and I have found this to be true. I often get of the gas for a second in the lotus before braking to allow the car to stabilize and braking without lifting this doesn't seem necessary. Also, getting off the brake with about 25% throttle seems to allow you to avoid engine braking on the rears and take a corner harder after braking. But take the parabolica at monza for instance, what do you do? I've been going 100% throttle right into braking, stabilize the braking to impending lockup, lift throttle, continue to stabilize, downshift, then start going about 20% throttle and maybe 10% trailbraking. Does this sound right? Comments appreciated.
generic is a no go with diamond monster sound.
