I see so many good racers hugging the corners at speed and when I try I always end up with understeer and drifting way off the drive line

I didn't think you could change the brake balance.
I do have my ABS set kinda high

I have abs at 1 bb at 4/3
I'm running low 53s high 52s
Clean no corner cutting
Stay in the 54s consistent or 55-56 and you will be running strong

Mic, to over come the poor brakes that thing has use the tranny to help you stop. After you start your braking down shift to entry gear as fast as you can. It makes a big difference in stopping distance. If your lucky it'll induce a little rear wheel lock and help with rotation. You'll get a little of that sliding your saying you need.I think the problem is the brakes in the LM55, not you
For that final chicane, i had to start braking so early it was ridiculous
This is going to be a race for the drifters as the car seems to be best when sliding through the corners 💡
I wish i had some advice or tutoring ability for you.
Have you ever considered cranking up the ABS to a higher value than 1? it may not be quite as fast at the limits, but it can really help on some cars that get all crazy under braking. It calms things down a bit. I was trying it at 5 and then at 8 last night to see if it helped.
and i had my brake balance at 10/10 just to get the thing to stop within 400 yards
Good luck. Try it you might be surprised.

This is my best advice for a car that understeers
1) Slow in, fast out
2) Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
3) Race the race, don't race the car
4) Bias the brakes toward the rear, but not in this car!
Good luck Newsprinter, I am sure you will do fine.

Thanks Psycho, I need to transition to manual but having a difficult time getting used to the paddles. I've driven standard all my life so is not a problem of understanding downshifting and up shifting. I just don't like the paddles
PS thanks for the help

Race 10: March 7, 2015 | Two - 45 Minute Races
Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo | Racing Soft
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps | 23 laps
The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports
"It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free."
Rules
You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
"Rubbin"
This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league. We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.
First Turn
You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach (braking zone) to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may.
This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. Once again, you may not attempt to pass once in the braking zone of the 1st turn of the 1st lap. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.
Procedures
Until everyone has accepted the TURTLE RACING LEAGUE "Community" invitation and we have more experience with the "Community" function we will run the races in an open lobby. Go to "Open Lobby" and check the "Friends Rooms Only" box and look for TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - FLEX RACING SERIES and enter. Races will begin at 10pm Eastern time.
Connection Issues
Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT6 in game System Cache
Pit Stops
Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.
Quitting
Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon!
Microphones
Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.
Reminders
1: Hold your position and do not attempt advance in turn 1 of lap 1
2: If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter
3: If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
4: Watch for cars on the track coming out of the pit, stay to the inside
5: Keep Microphones muted during race unless advising your proximity
6: Drivers being lapped must let lapping drivers by without contesting
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Final Note
Race Clean and Have Fun!
