🤔 Which ABS Setting should YOU Choose!? || Gran Turismo 7

A few comments have asked about Tyre Wear. So I didn't do a Tyre Wear test specifically because in Gran Turismo essentially if you slide at any point there will be more tyre wear on the rears. So automatically yes, if the rear does slide there would be more tyre wear. But if the car is rotating more it could actually mean reduced tyre wear on the front (The same as the extreme setup scenario video). I hope that helps explain the tyre wear situation. TL DR; - More Rear slide means more Rear Tyre Wear - More Rear Slide may mean less Front Tyre Wear because the car was suffering Understeer and Tyres been scrubbed.

I love this channel so much because you always approach this game with that kind of experiment-driven rigor. From the car profiles, to the optimal-based timing, to videos like this, it’s a real privilege to someone like provide evidence-backed conclusions to important questions that otherwise get lost with anecdotal (or straight up ass-pull) responses on forums or comment sections

I use the weak setting for ABS but my brake balance for MR and RR cars is -3 or -2 depend on the track. For me it works better because i use hard braking and trail braking at the entrance. That gives a rotation towards the inside of the corner because the weight transfer compresses a lot the front suspension, making the front of the car more maneuverable whilst the rear stays in line due to engine braking and the force from the actual brakes. It's my driving style that makes this set up work. In some corners, I'm faster, but in other corners, I'm slower. It depends on the track. Thought I give my penny of experience, though i play GT7 for a few months, but I'm not new to GT Series. Always you do an excellent work Tidg.

I have been waiting for this one! Good thorough breakdown, thanks Tidgney 👍

Yet another educational and relevant content for the community, awesome stuff. Appreciate the video, well done, thank you!!

Really well put together video mate bravo

You are the best at what you do by a mile

Very interesting vid like always Tidge! What I see is if you're a high level driver, weak may be a little faster, but most people (especially a pleb like me) should stick with default.

Love the content 👊🏽

Great video Tidge

It would be interesting to see if with the ABS on weak if the tyre wear was worse over a long race.

Thx for this One.. have the Same experience as you.. in some corners faster but Little more risky.. Weak Good for Time Trial 👍🏻

In my simple testing certain cars brake better with weak and some with default ABS, I swap them then compare the quickest laps times I can achieve

really interesting, it would be interesting to see more of which setting you find best on the different time trials each week! for example, i wonder which is better on slower/faster cars etc. over just the proper race cars vs road cars.

I feel like a big part of this is also pedal work. If you've got a nice load cell brake, you're going to have a much easier and less risky time extracting better performance out of weak ABS (or OFF if you're feeling frisky). Thanks for the work, Tidge!

I like this video, I always felt like weak was a smidge better than Default, but this definitely proves it. 👌 Also, I have had a time setting up my load cell brake pedal feel wise ... First time I have ever used one and sometimes it feels really good, and other times, it feels like it just isn't stopping me and I'm having to hold the brake so much longer. It has been the bane of my existence and I have just not felt fully comfortable with it. Do you have any tips that might help?

Cheers Tidge, ☺️. Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🏎✅️

Thanks @Tidgney love these educational vids! I've always run weak, with BB +5 in GT3 cars cause I find they all understeer. I'm in a league and we've moved to group 1 cars BOP with no tuning. I'm a mess and cant get clean fast laps. I'm not sure if BB+5 is the best setting? Any chance you can do a video on Brake Bias settings, and what's best for which car? As in FF. FR, MR, 4WD, and the different groups, so 1,2,3,4 ? I think most people are like me, just running one setting and don't really understand if and when to change it. Thanks!

The key feature of ABS is that it allows for braking and steering at the same time, helping to avoid hazards in an emergency.
