I've been asked a few times to look at ABS and if there's any difference between Low and Default... Here is that video! Now it's very hard to do a like for like test, but hopefully this video helps you decide what setting to pick!
...Enjoy :)

A few comments have asked about Tyre Wear. So I didn't do a Tyre Wear test specifically because in Gran Turismo essentially if you slide at any point there will be more tyre wear on the rears. So automatically yes, if the rear does slide there would be more tyre wear. But if the car is rotating more it could actually mean reduced tyre wear on the front (The same as the extreme setup scenario video). I hope that helps explain the tyre wear situation. TL DR; - More Rear slide means more Rear Tyre Wear - More Rear Slide may mean less Front Tyre Wear because the car was suffering Understeer and Tyres been scrubbed.

I love this channel so much because you always approach this game with that kind of experiment-driven rigor. From the car profiles, to the optimal-based timing, to videos like this, it’s a real privilege to someone like provide evidence-backed conclusions to important questions that otherwise get lost with anecdotal (or straight up ass-pull) responses on forums or comment sections

I use the weak setting for ABS but my brake balance for MR and RR cars is -3 or -2 depend on the track. For me it works better because i use hard braking and trail braking at the entrance. That gives a rotation towards the inside of the corner because the weight transfer compresses a lot the front suspension, making the front of the car more maneuverable whilst the rear stays in line due to engine braking and the force from the actual brakes. It's my driving style that makes this set up work. In some corners, I'm faster, but in other corners, I'm slower. It depends on the track. Thought I give my penny of experience, though i play GT7 for a few months, but I'm not new to GT Series. Always you do an excellent work Tidg.

I specifically didn't run Tyre wear because this will be even more driver dependant on weak. If there's more sliding on the rear there will be more rear tyre wear. But more rotation may mean less tyre wear on the front as the fronts aren't being overturned.

First time I have ever used one and sometimes it feels really good, and other times, it feels like it just isn't stopping me and I'm having to hold the brake so much longer. It has been the bane of my existence and I have just not felt fully comfortable with it. Do you have any tips that might help?

Thanks @Tidgney love these educational vids! I've always run weak, with BB +5 in GT3 cars cause I find they all understeer. I'm in a league and we've moved to group 1 cars BOP with no tuning. I'm a mess and cant get clean fast laps. I'm not sure if BB+5 is the best setting? Any chance you can do a video on Brake Bias settings, and what's best for which car? As in FF. FR, MR, 4WD, and the different groups, so 1,2,3,4 ? I think most people are like me, just running one setting and don't really understand if and when to change it. Thanks!

@mattnorgrove6872 Ай бұрын

Rule of thumb with brake balance, if the rear feels loose, move the balance forward to add stability, varies by track and by car. I adjust mine on the fly on some tracks as different sectors react better to tighter (front) or looser (rear) bias

The key feature of ABS is that it allows for braking and steering at the same time, helping to avoid hazards in an emergency.

@thomaswalbeck1087 2 ай бұрын

Nice explanation! What i also found is that weak ABS allows you to brake a tiny bit later when you hold the pressure to around 90-95% instead of 100%, not sure if that is similar to default. The braking pressure is also a factor. Like last week daily race at Spa, i struggled with the car suddenly snapping on me in braking zones when i start to trailbrake, specially into T1 and into the chicane after back straight. When i swapped to default ABS i had more control and the snapping went away(magically). Maybe look into pressure aswell in combination with ABS? Would be interesting to see if there ACTUALLY is any difference

@tidgney Ай бұрын

That's to do with ABS activation. So if your car is snapping the rear is probably locking when on weak abs. But when you press it 95% it reduces the force on the tyres and ABS doesn't kick in as much and the wheels have less chances of locking,

Traction control off is much much much faster and abs off is much shorter braking distance, but need to know how to control the pedals which is what the TC and ABS is doing, if you look at the white bars the red section is how much power or braking the computer is taking off for you

Hi tidgney. Plus 5 brake balance is giving you more tire slide in the rear while turning in. I recommend balance in the middle while testing,

@lucashoffman9823 2 ай бұрын

You call it tire slide, he calls it rotation, which optimizes his corners entry. I do the same. It's really a matter of preference, maybe you don't like oversteery cars?

@turtledangerman Ай бұрын

@toebeeone You are absolutely correct. This entire video is irrelevant because he uses brake balance 5 and not zero.

@tidgney Ай бұрын

That's the point I'm making in the video. Even at 0 you would get more rotation on Weak ABS. But this is also car dependant. 0 Brake balance on some cars will still be rear biased compared to other cars.

@tidgney yeah, this video is more for +5 brake people. On motorcycles, we call this "backing it in." 😁. Sliding the rear with either rear brake or engine braking. Anyway, I hope you had a good weekend.

@willywillywillywillywilly Ай бұрын

That’s only true if you’re near the limit of grip in the rear and want to initiate (often uncontrollable) slip. For most cars, brake balance +5 to the rear allows for more turning under braking, better trail braking, by freeing up a portion of the front tires’ grip that would’ve been used for braking and using it to turn.

Great video thx. Could you make one about rims? I might be wrong, but i have the feeling that some races on sport mode allows different rims size. I might be wrong again, for example on the next tgr cup. I tried to put the smallest possible with my gr86, one of the rare models to sell smalller than standard ones. Cause i was guessing it could help me to get less understeer on suzuka. Am i crazy saying it seemed to be better? Only superstition bop trauma?

Appreciate the feedback. I really didn't want to do tyre wear for 1 main reason. Sliding will increase tyre wear, but the new rotation may reduce front tyre wear. Each driver will be unique in tyre wear test, so I could do 1 run on weak abs with tyre wear on and get 1 result, then do it again with better control and have completely different results. Then do it a 3rd time and get different results again.

@tidgney Ай бұрын

Appreciate the feedback. I don't see how the Brake Balance on 5 negates the experiment? Even if Brake Balance is on 0, every car within its settings has a different brake bias some are more rear biased even at 0 and some are more front biased (You'd have to go to GT5 or GT6 to see this option, can't remember which one it was). But the purpose is to show that there is a difference, and that is clearly shown in the video. I did to the tests with ABS off? The 1st test has No ABS on it. I did do a no abs test on the circuit, but it was so dreadfully slow and the 1st test confirmed this I felt there was no point putting it in the video because the 1st test clarifies it very quickly.
