ABS is lovely, it means I can race competitively and drive how I like. However, it appears that it is faster and better for tyre wear on the game to race with it off, and anyway, I get alienated from things because they want you to race without any assists.
Traction Control is something I have to learn myself, I know how to race without it, I'm just too impatient and aggressive at the moment, my problem I just have to sort myself.
I drive with a wheel and 2 pedals.
Scenario
Braking in a Straight Line
Time Trial - Red Bull - Austin - Dry - Middle Quick Car Setup - Turn 12
With ABS on - Normal driving style
Stay on the right of the track. Full brake at 150 metres and down the gears to gear 1 by the apex. Half turn the wheel left at the Pirelli board at about 65 metres, and fully turn it at around 45 metres. Left wheel hits the orange bit just behind the red and white Kerb, and I run out to make a perfect exit, only just 4-wheels off.
Without ABS on - Same corner, same technique
I still brake at 130, turn in at the same time and go down the gears. It goes fine until I turn the wheel at the Pirelli board, where the left front locks up, then full turn, both fronts lock up and I slide straight on.
I tried different techniques, braking at 130 in a straight line, I was too far past the apex when the car was slow enough to turn and release the brakes.
Braking at 150 to turn after slowing down enough works, but is slower and more frustrating.
Braking while turning
Same scenario, different corner - Turn 15
OK, no matter what I cannot do this corner without locking up. I liked to have a tight line on entry, it is a favourite overtaking spot of mine. I just need a full tutorial as to how to turn and brake without ABS.
