Does anyone else out there think it's strange that in f1gp1 you improve your braking by putting the brake balance to the REAR? In reality you have the brake setting to about 70% to the front because that is where most of the load is under braking. I hope they fix this for gp2.

>Does anyone else out there think it's strange that in f1gp1 you improve >your braking by putting the brake balance to the REAR? In reality you I would think this depends on how fast you are going, what type of turn and how your wings are set. Brakes to the rear, creates understeer. Set properly you can hit the corner perfectly. You make it sound like putting 100% brakes to the rear will give MAX braking. Besides "improve your braking" is rather vague :-) I think it is well known that oversteer & understeer can be controled via FRONT/REAR brake balance settings. >have the brake setting to about 70% to the front because that is where >most of the load is under braking.

rear wing and brake bias to the rear. The brake bias at the back should force the rear to break loose as you turn in therfore putting it into a loose situation, not understeer and therfore it will turn in harder.
