GT5 Demo: Help Driving Without ABS

[MowTin]

I'm struggling to drive without ABS. What's the techinque I should use?

I thought you break gently until you hear the sound of wheel lock. Then you ease off.

Problem is....as soon as I press on the brake ever so gently....it locks up.

Can you turn and brake? (Trail braking)
Is the goal to make no sounds or as little as possible when braking?

Edit: I'm using DFP

There is ABS in GT5 demo and you can't turn in off.

Hahaha, Yeah, like Jantsu said ABS is always on. People would actually like to turn it off.

Yes ABS is on in the demo but it is much more mild that in GT5P (even when set on 1), but nothing to allow lock ups and anything above 10km/h even will full braking power.

ABS is definitely on. With ABS off, when you lock-up you get huge amounts of vibration.

The tyres are always screeching when you brake, the physics are confusing...

You're doing it wrong

Real helpful. So how about telling us all how we should be doing it "right"?

I know the ABS is suppose to be on in the demo but it sure feels like it's off as you can't brake in the middle of a turn just like when ABS is off by GT standards.

To OP, you have to learn to brake before the corner, this will also lower your time as you can accelerate out the exit giving a higher top speed at the end of the next corner, cutting down your times since you were at a higher speed for a longer period of time.

In another thread they came to the conclusion, brake like DHolland (MarkWebber in posts).

It seems very difficult to equal, that is why he mostly relises times everyone else thinks are impossible. But it seems simple, looking at it.
However, his secret exercise, exercise, exercise, works more slowly for some people, like me, then for others.

He does use a wheel, might be more difficult to do with a Sintaxis.
Anyway, pick up some tips, but you are unique, so this is also valid for your driving style.

But that sound I hear....the screeching noise is wheels locking and sliding on the tarmac, right?
