braking in gpl

2 posts by 2 people · 28 Dec 1999 - 29 Dec 1999

It has been my understanding that when braking in gpl one must back off the brake when you hear the tires screeching. I do this even though the tires have not locked up yet. It would seem that the tires are loosing grip trying to decelerate too much. Is this true? I see some hotlaps of some people and they are screeching the tires all the time. They also seem to brake later than me. Is this why i can only get low 129's - high 128's at monza? thanks, Brian Bowles

Tires have the most grip when screeching slighty, to much screech and they lose it. Try to get enough to hear, same for cornering forces as well. Read this. http://website.lineone.net/~richardn/index.html There are more sites like that but this ones pretty good. JM
