Braking prob..

I am using a keyboard and when braking my wheels lock. That's a nasty way off slowing down quickly. I changed something in the setup, at first it were the front wheels but now it a little better but not that good to drive a very quick lap. Anybody knows how to setup the car best to brake the latest? I think with keyboard braking it will never be that good as when with a steering wheel, but I try to get the best out of it......

Thanks

I try with a steering wheel and after a while i turn back to keyboard.

I turn and break much better with the keyboard.

Maybe you need to practice a little more...

Change your brake balance in your car setup.
It has to be considerably different with a keyboard then with a steering wheel in order for you not to lock up the brakes.

Try to put the brake balance backwards!
Remember: The higher downforce on the rear, the less braking force you need on the rear whells.
At Monza you have to put a lot of brakes on the rear...
At Monaco you don't.

But be careful. Too much braking force on the rear can make you spin when cornering and braking at the same time. So, you have to test!

See ya

Ah, when reading that it makes sence
Will try it , thanks

Same problems here too. But to make it much worse it wears off the tires unevenly in the front as well. Any suggestion to that ?

Thanks

Well I think it helps big time to set the braking very much to the back! Very much to the back i mean! dunno abou the tyre wear cause just raced my first race and @#$%& up cause i forgot to set the pit strategy, did a ful race without a stop. My car just wasn't driveable avery corner the back overtook me ((

Better luck next race...Brazil here i come

Well try a method called Cadence braking. Setting brake balance is all well and good, but if you're just slamming the breaks on at the '100' boards, then you will lock up wheels. Cadence breaking: Apply the breaks, as the wheels lock up, instantly lift off the brakes, then reapply. Keep doing this until you slow down enough. I find you can break a good 15m later than if you just slam the brakes on.


Good luck!!

I already do that :P but my opinion is that at +/- 100 meters fully braking and after a while loose and again full brake works the best..

Thanx, gonna race again now
