I know this is an old vid but this summary might help: Gr.4 Gr.4 - MR - Prefer rear (+2) (Kie25, 0 to +3) Gr.4 - FR - Prefer rear (Kie25, +2 to +4) Gr.4 - 4WD - Prefer rear (Kie25, +5) Gr.4 - FF - Prefer rear (+5) (Kie25, +5) Gr.3 Gr.3 - MR - Prefer front (Kie25, -1 to -3) Gr.3 - FR - Prefer rear (Kie25, +1 to +3)

Great Video! 2 years later & still relevant!

Great video kie. It brings to light the importance of brake bias,not only for balance but for tyre wear. I believe this will help alot of people. Great stuff 👌👍

great video - really helps using the brake bias on a pad as well because you can soften the cars reactions a bit and make it feel more stable. Like you said - especially on the MR cars which i struggle with on the pad. I always do a few laps - then change the bias and do a few more. especially if you are running a car or track that you are not used to. Looking forward to more of this type of video.

This video is extremely helpful. Thank you kie :)

Much needed explainer for me. Many, MANY thanks for this!

Super helpful! Thank you. I improved my lap time on nurbergring by almost a second

I'd like to see a cornering guide, seems to be where I lose the most time. Though it's probably hard to drive badly, perhaps you could show some comparisons against a ghost to show where minor mistakes, braking too early, late, hard or soft, when to accelerate etc, will lose the most time. I've used your track guides (and AC setups) for a few years, and seem to match you pretty closely, in terms of braking point, turn in and exit, but still struggle to get round within 3-4 seconds of your time on the longer tracks, despite being only fractions of a second off the best times in the driver tutorials. Thanks. Almost at 15k, keep up the good work.

Man, watching you go through that down hill section in the FR is so satisfying. Great video and thanks for the tip!

Reporting back, this has been incredibly helpful for me recently! I've become much more aware of how gradual and when I release the brake pedal and how it affects the rotation of various chassis with different brake bias settings. Thanks for putting this together! :)

Wish id seen this video years ago, great info Kie even if its an old video.

What a video. Must have taken you ages. I've written all these down so I have the guide next to me.. I've been wanting this guide for long, being an elder person, I forget which way to go. Many thanks 👍

Thankyou. I needed this with gt7 consistently including brake bias now.

Great video! Sometimes it helps setting the brake bias to the rear to settle the car's rear end on the turn-in when you lift off the brakes. This is especially is true of N class cars on One Make races. You have to figure out if your rear is oversteering on the braking or on the lift-off, if it is on the lift off - more brake pressure to the rear helps to keep more weight on the back axle mid after trail braking and keeping the rear in check.

Last time I watched a brake vid from Kie I started winning nonstop with the corvette. Thank you man from USA!

This is what i've been waiting for i now understand the bias thankyou kie

Great video thanks for all those hints and tips.

Great explanation for brake bias. Was able to use these tips for daily race A. Made a big difference and made the car a lot easier to handle. Now to tinker around with it for the other races

Very informative, thanks for taking the time to make this vid. Just started playing around with this setting recently - the info will come in handy. 👍🏻😎

Thanks a lot kie really appreciate you taking the time to explain this. I was having trouble figuring this out. Great stuff

Great video. This has really cleared up some things to me as I had a rough idea but you explaining it in greater depth will definitely help me in the future. Thank you 👍🏻

This is huge help Kie 👏 Great video, key tip 😉 I understand properly now

Superb. Been running the AMG Gr 3 for a bit. Been struggling with understeer a lot on Dragon Trail Seaside so will try playing with the brake bias to try and get those super fast times

that is now how brake bias works without abs, without abs u need to find the balance in the car so the tyres lock even when it locks, example downhill and uphill could turn into having to switch out the brake bias front rear to front , just for those parts of the track

Greatly appreciate the effort to create this guide Kie. Definitely a great reference guide and I look forward to putting the start settings into practice.

And now because this video was so awesome, I'm going to binge all your other videos. Thank you @TheKie25 for this. Amazing content, and I get it now.

This video was sooo helpful, improved my driving preety much

From my own experience, here's a rule of thumb: It's all about weight distribution and drivetrain. *FWD* FF - weight tends to be shifted onwards; so you might want to minimise understeer; set positive bias (+) *RWD* FR - weight tends to be shifted onwards; you might want to minimise oversteer; set negative bias (-) RR - weight tends to be shifted backwards, encouraging the rear to slip; you might want to minimise oversteer; set negative bias (-); MR - weight is well distributed, but you might want ro minimise oversteer; set negative bias (-) *AWD (the trickiest)* Break bias depends on LSD settings, but generally, it should be set where the engine is placed: for front engine cars, break bias should be positive; for rear/mid engine cars, break bias should negative. I the end, you should set the bias according to your driving style. Nevertheless, I hope this helps shed some light into it 😉

Something that you could explain that would make a little more sense in a much shorter amount of time would be this: Moving the brakes to the front will tighten the car up on entry and moving the brakes to the rear will help the car loosen up in the corner. Adjust the brakes to the way you drive so that you can make it more comfortable in the corners for you. .... from a actual race driver

Thanks for this Kie, you and Tidgney are awesome sharing your knowledge.

Cheers m8, very helpful for beginners. I play F1 games but recently bought GT Sport and this helps.

This is my go to guide for brake bias, massive help this video has been to my lap times. 👊🏻👏

Again thank you so much for the tips.. I've got a long way to go, but I'm getting better by watching your videos, so that being said thank you so much...

I run breaks 3 to the rear. Can't out break people but my lap times are always quicker and tend to get better drive out of corners due to the stability through the corners. only drive FR cars though. Awesome explanation!

Will surely try this and feel if there's a difference in handling, thanks!

Tried the M4 Gr4 tuned to max HP and min Weight @ +2 in brands hatch and it was twitchy for my taste. Had better results with 0 and even -1

Hey Kie it’s Ray. I’ve with you in the lobbies before. I just wanted to say thanks for making o couple of things clear to me because i had it all wrong. I was doing a great time at Mount Panorama on the Gr 4 BMW M4 and I was actually playing with my bios along the race. I would set it to -1 from “THE CHASE” to T3 and then I’d set it to -4 on “THE SKYLINE” since my understanding was that i needed more brakes towards the front when going downhill especially a steep one like that one. Because with no weight on the rear it would’ve been like pulling the e-brake if if did a +5 or anything near that. But now that I’ve seen your video i understand why i was doing so much understeer on the last Corner of the downhill and i was coming out really slow into the straight since I’d have to wait to get back on power. Can’t wait to get home in the afternoon and test your theory. @6:00 P.M eastern US time I’ll be on Mount Panorama on a Gr4 lobby ( by Name Kie Team)I anybody wants to join. Might do a couple of races if enough people join.

Awesome video Kie! Glad you could explained it so precisely!

Bro great guide. As im primarily a gr3-gr4 driver i have been recently experimenting in the exact same way. Much thanks for the tips. Im one step closer to being the next Lewis Hamilton. Keep it up!

Thanx Kie. I hope I can chew off some seconds off my laptimes ;-)

Late the video but great information, i was stumped with brake bias but great starting point, cheers.

Loved this video thanks Kie! Always had trouble with the MR cars.

I really appreciate your time for doing this. Many thanks

Very helpful, I wish you did Forza aswell, your videos would help me alot in tuning.

This will help alot of people for sure. Good work m8.

Very informative, your videos have helped me become a better driver. Thank you!!

Very useful. Thank you. Might have stopped me keep spinning the gr3 Lambo on Saturday.

That lesson is gold Well done

Wish I could have seen this video sooner. I figured it out the hard way

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.

0 dislikes lol very good information always great videos

Awesome guide must have taken you a while, many thanks.

Thanks buddy. Great video, you definitely cleared up a few things for me 😁

Good video and thanks for posting. Makes sense to probably everyone watching. I think most of the confusion stems from the way GT seems to have misled people regarding how BB impacts the dynamics of a car in game. They would have done better to explain the effects of this setting more accurately.

...wondering why downvotes lol... I mean, I did know a lot of this, but then again, it is good thing to hear and see it again... keep it up Kie

Thanks for great video!

this is cool !even though I'm not racing right now.i can appreciate it you know what I mean 😁

Last week I could not go below 1:39:209 on daily Race gr4.. I'm 3 seconds away.. so this should help.. Next can you talk about car setups? Are they important? Thank you!

Thanks a lot kie really helpful and useful video

Very useful thanx

Nice video. Now I understand it better.

So so so helpful thanks kie

awesome video,, thnx for explaining this !!

Nicely explained. Thanks a lot.

Are there cars that allow Differntial adjustment or sway bar adjustment while driving ? It seems the is only Traction control, Anti Lock Brake, Brake Bias (Front to Rear) available to change while racing. Im using Automobilista and ASsetto Corsa

A great help, thank you.

That British accent make tutorial videos sounds so much better. It feels like I am watching an actual race with commentators speaking in the background.

The Porsche is different because it's engine is behind the rear axel. All the way in the back. So not really a mid-engined car, rather a RR layout. No hate just saying to spread information. Great video and content as always. :)

A great help, once again. Thanks.

Cheers dude

Very helpful, thanks.

Brilliant! Thanks for that.

Thank you for this guide

Great!!! Thanks!

nice man, you are inspirational!!

Thanks Kie!

So basically positive means over-steer and negative means under-steer

Thanks so much for this video.. finally getting my noodles around brake balance! Question: Do you adjust brake balance DURING laps depending what corners are coming up.. or is it better just to have a good average bb for the overall lap? Keep up the great vids :)

Needed this....

Hi mate! Great video, packed with details, really appreciate it. What do you think about adjutsnig the brake bias on the fly, for certain track parts? Like f.e. have it most on rear for preferred oversteer on entry but decrease it for downhill sections (nurburgring maybe)? Is it worth doing or rather stick for certain setting per track to get consistent with one setting? What real racing drivers do, any information on that? Cheers!

the problem that i notice mostly with FR cars is that if u put over +2 ok u r gonna to save more on front but actually it doesn't turn and in case of hairpin it's absolutly horrible.... while FIA i could test it with the GR Supra who is a tyre destroyer.... and for tokyo expressway tracks who kills more front tires than many other tracks even with +5 i was struggeling so much cause basically this car is pretty similar as MR cars on driving and thats why for FR it's very good at time attack but on tyre wear race it was horrible because it kills already the front so for that car i had to be on +1 or +2 and it was drivable, could equal tyre wear on all 4 wheels but the car is killing too much tires compared at others :/

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge! Can I ask a stupid question please: how could brakebias affect the car being under/over for corners that I don't have to brake except tyre wear? E.g. the turn 4 and 5 in Fuji (the big longer corner) I don't need to "brake" into this turn but just keeping half throttle etc, does that mean in this case the brake bias means nothing? I drive AMG GT3 and I absolutely cannot get into the apex as fast as the 911 can LOL :)

911s are an anomaly because they aren't really MR cars. They're more close to RR cars and the weight of the engine sits right on the rear axle all the way at the back. That really messes with how the car reacts to sideways forces. It can handle rear bias because despite the weight shift forward under braking, there's still a lot of mass on the back of the car, keeping the tires at good traction, so the rear doesn't really want to snap out that much. I always feel like I'm driving a dart. Try as you may to upset that car, it will always have that inherent stability, which is paradoxically, very counter intuitive, because you would not at all expect it to behave this way. You'd expect it to go insane and snap oversteer like crazy, but at a certain point, when the tires are thick enough on the back of a Porsche, it just breaks through that oversteer barrier and gains cheat level stability.

How do you select 30X tire wear? I only see 10X. Great tutorial. Thanks for the info

Can u make a video explaining the suspension and LSD tips

Do you get more DR points for racing in the C race? Is it because it is a longer race? Thanks in advance for your response.

Hey Kie ... I'd like to design something for you but I'll need you to answer some questions : Favorite car in GTS? Favorite animal? Favorite color? Favorite shape? Favorite movie? Einstein or DaVinci? Gold or Silver? Hope you can get back to me with some answers :)

How about a public Google Sheet with your setups that you can update as and when?

Great vid as usuall, (wish had subtitles to help with that accent XD) Why MR in gr.3 and gr.4 have opposed settings? aren't they in essence the same car in terms of where the engine is and the weight?

Learning stuff here a well though out lesson ..... makes Tidgney School look like Grange Hill

MORE STUFF LIKE THIS!!!

Hello dude, great video and very useful info! I'm a long time GT fan but by no means am I a pro at this game. I'm going after the platinum and I'm doing fine so far. I got the pole positions trophy and now I need to rack up wins. I know you must be accustomed to driving very fast cars, but do you think you can give me some tips on which N100 car should I pick to get better times at Autopolis shortcut version? It's part of the current weekly races. I've been driving the Demio, stable but not really fast. Should I pick the Honda Fit or Suzuki Swift Sport? Tuning the brake balance would help in some way? Thanks in advance, I hope you can give me a hand.

You should make a video about DR rating. I can not grow from B to A. So frustrating. SR is S, that's easy. What should one do?

Ty kie ...but one question what means NA TT behind the MR FR does that make a difference with driving ?

G'day I don't know what wrong where me but I tryed the Gr.3 brake balance options for bathurst but I just can't get it right.

Thanks

Great vid thanks :)

Thx u very nice video

So you are using the stock pedals that came with the TGT?

Did you change brake bias when approaching different corners in a track? Considering doing something like that
