Yes, stock tyres, stock settings, stock brake balans, stock everythingManu, just checking, those times done in the stock race cars were done on Racing Hards right?
JDMKING13Are you guys using ABS or not? I am sorry but ABS makes driving during braking very unrealistic in GT5. I know we already are playing a game so your going to take turns as fast as possible but the ABS in GT5 makes the average racer look like Takiums dad during braking. I would love to know who is using ABS and who is not for I want to compete against the non abs drivers.

In my case it depends on the car. If it has ABS in real life, I'll leave it at 1.
What about cars that have a legitimate claim for ABS? How do they fare?
ManuelosAnyone wants to have a look in their garage? Does the "Buick Special '62" come with Sports hard or Sports soft tyres? Mine has both but I don't know which one's are standard.
Some new times comming up this weekend

Not looking to start a fight here but I find ABS1 to be no more unrealistic than trying to brake in the game without it.
Real life ABS works wonders stoping cars faster and more controlably than the majority of drivers can, that's why almost all cars come with it now. It's because of its benefits that many real life race series don't allow it, not because the drivers are so much better without it.
How you want to drive in game is up to you but please don't get all superior about how not using ABS means your more realistic and superior to those who use it.
Only real discussion should be about if it should be used on cars that didn't have it in real life. Then I can see some sense in the argument.
I don't use TC on 99% of the cars I drive in game, not because its "unreal" but because I'm faster without it. In real life many cars have had some form of traction control for years and in most of them there is no way to get rid of it (nor would you want to) without rebuilding the suspension and drivetrain.
We choose what works for us in the game and allows us to have fun. Many people are faster than me even if they drive with no aids at all, but that is their choice. The OP for this thread states what is legal to use and the conditions for setting lap times. As long as people follow those rules it shouldn't matter what they set their times with.
Sorry for the rant, but I keep seeing this subject pop up and it irritates me. Other than posting an occasional lap time for a tuned street car I'm never going to be setting or breaking any records here. I'm slow but I have fun and I enjoy seeing some of the amazing times the regulars post here.
Now I'm going to go hop back in my 100% stock I-Miev with my ABS1 and driving line on and see if I can figure out how to shave that last 45 seconds off my lap time to break the current record!
Braking in GT5 is very unrealistic, period. Using no ABS in GT5 is even more unrealistic.

No and no.
Braking unrealistic? Well, there are two things... default brake balance and ABS. Those things are unrealistic but can be fixed.
I use 2/0 for some old cars with drum brakes and no ABS and 4-2 or 3/1 for cars without ABS. 5/4 for top class cars (Ferraris, Lambos etc) and 4/3 for others with ABS.
Just cut down the brake balance and you won experience lockups (if you know what you're doing).
Also, I have ClubSport Pedals so I have feedback on my brake pedal as if I'd have in real life, so I'm fine with that aspect too.
Spot on buddy. 👍No and no.

Ughh I was not aware of this sorry Mac K I should of read the OP.Isn't ABS supposed to be on 1 with no brake bias adjustment in order to submit a time here..?
