Are you running with DSC or MDM on ? That could make a huge difference. |
I run DSC OFF and I'm pre-abs before corners. It's how I was taught originally by my NASA instructor.
I'm not a pro by any means so the question of whether or not I can improve my technique to reduce brake heat is an easy answer: absolutely.
The issue here is that I track with my buddies and we all analyze each other's braking/corner speeds/line. It's a C7 Grandsport, (2) 1LE Camaros with ZL1 brakes and a Shelby GT350 with a track pack. I'm the only one struggling with my brakes and I'm braking earlier and earlier throughout the day because I lose consistency. I'm also going a lot faster in the front and back straight than they are.
Take a look at my most recent Glen lap:
See how early I'm braking? This is day 2, last session. If I brake any later I don't know if the car will even stop before the run off.
I definitely need to improve my technique and I'm working on it but these brakes are sub-par. At the very least, the lack of brake cooling is a major issue that is well known on the F80.
I'm open to criticism, definitely not sensitive here.
