I’ve just tried this. The Mini is more stable, especially in turn 1. This obviously means you can carry a little more speed thu the curves going back up the hill.
Tried it in the race and it wouldn’t let me pull away at the start. Got a nudge up the back and I’m away!
Didn’t win as other errors. Got fastest lap.
Just improved my time using this method. Now 15th on EU leaderboard. I’m not that quick!

On one hand I'm a bit disappointed because I was trying pretty hard on my qualifying time and trying to figure out how to get closer to the top times.
But on the other hand it's impressive people find ways to get faster, experimenting, trying everything.
Thanks for posting this.

Impressive is not a word I'd use for it. It's one thing to push the games limits and try things out (like the track limits stuff) as that is an intended game design thing, even if it looks so wrong but it's another thing to try to deliberately break a game by finding others ways to get ahead by exploiting unintended bugs or glitches, especially when it's an online mode and they are/potentially are ruining it for many other players.
Anyway my opinion does not really matter, I just hope it's an easy fix and not a widespread issue, which I fear it may well be.

I agree. This needs to be looked at and fixed.
It is probably possible to do it with your foot very, very gentle on the brake pedal. However, it would be tricky to get your foot back in the correct position after breaking properly, and accelerating out of a corner.

I tried this when I first came across it and it is very tricky. I ended up losing time through not getting it right and braking too much.
I've just being doing some off-line testing with a Mazda roadster at Tsukuba. Results inconclusive. It feels a bit easier to drive with the cardboard mod and I did set my fastest time but it was only a couple of tenths. Not a night and day difference like the Mini.
And like you said, you can't do standing starts. Maybe it's not such a big deal.

Haven’t run a Sport race in nearly a year, but coincidentally I did this event yesterday a couple times for kicks. Funny to read this thread. Just another reminder why I quit Sport mode to begin with.

Try default and Maybe you'd be #7

All the Europe top ten are in the 1:04s now and replays are available. You need to find a bit of cardboard when you get back from the pub or you'll find yourself out of the top 10 by tomorrow.

Another thing I’ve seen is a yellow AB
I have a load cell ? Been in 8th since Wednesday lol.
**** I’m not driving by the the time I’m out of the pub. It don’t matter Cardboard cheat or not

its a custom transmission. no clutch needed. If they use a stock transmission like the 997 GT3 or the GT86, then is a clutch and shifter a huge advantage.
i´d tried to race without abs in the FIA Nations Cup and the manufacture series (also in the GT86 on sh tires in Fuji) and i have to say its a joke, because only the lifted wheels do look up slighly. if you brake straight it, doesn`t lock up with a race brake
great simulation

This was found out last week with the Fiat 500 as well.

Daily Race A is now a race with Gr4 cars. Hmmm

I see you got to keep your well-earned P8 (maybe should have been P6) and top geezer, since my time was cardboard assisted.

They could do that on GT6?

Some were using the pad with the brake slightly on and then the wheel at the same time to drive normally and you even went a tiny bit faster in a straight line with this brake on.
It's not that far from something like a hack, although clearly hacking is another level of cheating.
I just wonder how many more undiscovered/exposed cheats are in this game, I'm mean no one would have believed you could reverse into the pits to gain a lap, heel your tyres like magic with just a few button presses or exploit the ABS system to go faster with the brake permanently on (albeit very slightly) and yet here we are.

I hope those other ones have been fixed by now?

I haven’t done a Sport Race in a year, lost a couple of races do to the pit BS. Lost 3/4 races lap cars brake checking me or driving into me. One good is l found a good bunch of guys I race with now so we have a lot of fun.Some were using the pad with the brake slightly on and then the wheel at the same time to drive normally and you even went a tiny bit faster in a straight line with this brake on.

oh ya. Speed up the time, you could beat there ghost car but not there time? Place a car body on a Redbull Chasses etc. Just to name a few lol

I bearlly touch the brakes, wish I tried it with ABS off.

Yes default, there's only an odd one using weak. None of them will be crazy enough to turn it off I would assume.

Its not so much about stopping distance but more control under braking. Default gives you more of it.
