Interesting Things in the v1.5 Patchnotes

[FJBH10]

I noticed these in the patchnotes for the 1.5 update that came with the GT4 DLC:

Could this be something for future content? Does anyone know what SRO series use these or could it be something completely different? (Or am I being stupid and there are some GT3 or GT4 cars that use these)

Only thing I could find with a very quick and non-in-depth research, was something about Toyota LMP1, but that's Le Man and not SRO so... No idea really.

The brake by wire layout on the TS040 has an automatic ‘brake migration’ system that sends the bias forwards or rearwards as the car travels deeper into the corner. In essence it is a form of active brake bias, as the electronic management system on the car manages it automatically.

Probably other names for this around that I don't know, which most likely gave miss leading results. I think the AMG GT as it from what I could quickly see too.

As for the torque vectoring, seems GT3 and GT4 have them around.

Someone more knowledgeable would have a better answer than I, so take what I say with a bag of salt.

Yeah the only time I've seen EBB was in the iRacing LMP1 cars but I don't think I've seen it in a GT car before. To me it wouldn't make much sense to go through the work of adding it if it wasn't going to be used so I wonder what it's for, possibly something with the WEC? I think GTR3 has that license though so who knows!

McLaren use an open diff and the brakes to do torque vectoring (in the road cars at least). Could EBB be related to that rather than F:R bias?

Aris explained this. Since GT4 cars are not half-prototypes like the GT3 cars they carry a lot of the components from their road going versions. So no real LSD, but torque vectoring, no real brake bias setting, but electronically mimicked.

Oh that's really interesting, thanks for the explanation! I was thinking the EBB was something along the lines of in the LMP1 cars where it changes through the braking zone and that the torque vectoring was again something like in an LMP1 or 4WD car. My bad.

I found where Aris explains it if anyone's interested. (Might have to click on the link itself or the 'watch this on youtube' link since for me at least it kicks up a fuss when I try to watch it in the preview window.)
