Car spin if i turn with 10-20% brake apply ♦ 500 ABARTH AC

[Guest Lazybug]

So can i use trail braking for this car ?? I found i cant turn the car not even abit if 10% - 20% brake is apply and if i do turn then i will end up to spin the car.

Of cause may be i do something wrong since i very new to sim racing & only start play this game 2 days ago.

Thanks for the concern. Good day

If you started 2 days ago, maybe it is a bit too soon to master trail braking.. Anyways, back on topic: the 500 Abarth is a FWD car (traction given by front wheels). Generally you want your brakes to apply mainly to the front tires: during the braking, the weigth is transferred to front wheels (=more grip). Rear tires will have less weight because of weight transferred to front, and they will have no rolling force because thay have no engine connection = sudden rear lock and spin under braking. Try a brake balance around 90 - 93% front.

A trick to help the Abarth keep stability during braking is to use lots of throttle even during brakings.

But at least i can do better trail braking without spin in ACTP, also the car default brake bias is already 91% so i not sure what i have done wrong. Whenever i try to turn while braking i get spin, even if i brake & turn just a little bit

Anyway my sim racing experience is very less, less than 50 hrs, i usually play arcade racing (about 10 years)

you can also try the setups contained in MDCBox tool, using values ​​as close as possible to the real-life counterparts of the simulated car in nkpro and are also quite easy to drive

I understand now why not many people play sim, its too complicated, already too tire before real drive after all that setup testing

The Lotus in AC is a RWD. When you brake, the engine helps rear tires to keep rolling. They won't lock easily as in a FWD car like the Abarth.

You may try trail braking with a RWD car and see if this helps(all cars in netKar are RWD but the Abarth).

Be prepared to quite some crash before things start working the way you want

Mmm thanks for all the tips, appreaciate it. Obviously the problem is from me but not quite sure what i had done wrong, may be i still turn too much or something, need more practice i guess.
