Do You Use The Emergency Brake?

[RealWeirdo]

I never use it
The car just doesnt react good to it.In all turns i'm going with or brake/accelerate or i release the accelerate button tottaly for good stearing

 

[BLITZ_69]

I use it all the time for drifting, some times to initiate, others to keep it going.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

What if I geared down? Wouldn't that disengage the clutch?

These are odd questions, how long have you been playing? In the game it automatically disengages & re-engages when you gear down--...the parking (emergency) brake does 2 things: it puts the brake on the rear wheels and makes the driver disengage the clutch, but not re-engage it.

^^ Exactly.
The only thing the e-brake is useful for (in GT4) is lapping the ring in the Model T. Tap when you go over a crest, and simply roll down the hill! You´ll be surprised how fast you can go in that thing!

Only when drifting ...a 4WD car

and THAT's when i do feint/ braking..


E-brakes for drifting.. esp. AWDs when i find myself sliding outwards.. Kinda followed what BL did in his DSJ Lancer Evo VIII MR Vid.. during Apricot Hill

That's funny. Me & my buddy used to do the same thing back in my GT2 days: we'd both be in loser cars like a Subaru 360 versus a Fiat 500, then roll all the way down Pike's Peak with as little power as possible. We called it the bobsled race!

You might want to add a gearbox to that Subaru 360! 50MPH ain't going to cut it.

The E-Brake was fine in GT3, you could use it to initiate a drift, do a 180, and burn your rear tires, but in GT4, you can only burn the rear tires with e brake and no side effects.

The E-brake LOCKS UP the rear tires, not let you do a burnout.

I used to lock up the FRONTS on my RX-7 with the brakes and drive around like that in GT3.

I'm guessing you wern't the fastest driver in your household

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Just to mess around.

It'd lock the fronts below 25 on throttle. Of course, it was an awesome car to drive.

And NO, I'd NEVER do that IRL.

Nice avy, btw.

You miss the point...we weren't actually driving down Pike's peak... we were coasting. Bobsled races. If you hit the gas it was only to get out of a bad slide or dead spot. It was fun once or twice but after that it got old quick!

This might sound a bit strange, but in GT3 all i did to initiate a drift was tap the reverse button.

You can do that in GT2 and 3 in a manual front-drive car...hit the reverse and you start coasting...it doesn't immediately put you in reverse and screw the engine up! I think it has to be manual gears...won't work on an automatic.

Can't do this anymore in 4 which kinda sucks. I used to like coasting into the finish line sometimes in a FWD, and then sliding with the e-brake.

Been there, done that.

I see. Is that a flame my friend? What's with the rolleyes?

NO, NO, NO, not at all! I'm just saying that it is fun, but also that it isn't the best thing to be proud of.

yeah i know. It's fun ..i still get a kick out of power-sliding as i win like when i was a little boy on my BMX. And i am a bit proud of my slides so nyah nyah!

What? I was agreeing with you.




Lets get back on topic.

I know you were. I'm just joking around. A bit of regression therapy. Happy 4th!

Yes, happy 4th of July to everybody
