Best Technique for braking in a GT3?

[FINFAST]

I recently aquired a GT3 and apart from my old Mitsubishi I have not had any cars with ABS and when I was on track last, I found that the abs seemed to cut in very quickly, trailing the brakes on abs into corners was fine but it did'nt really give me the same type of confidence that I've been previously used to -

Can anyone please advise on the best techniques for getting the most out of the brakes and car? Thank you

Press hard.

On a track where you need maximum help/traction from the front tyres, the secret is to avoid the ABS kicking in.

A split second gentle prod will get the weight over the front, then press hard. This is better than just pressing hard because that will more likely make the ABS kick in. If you preload the front wheels with a prod before the heavy press, you'll brake better.

Yes, exactly as Ajit said. This is exactly the technique taught to me by Andy on a recent Carlimits track day, and it works brilliantly !!

Also, make sure alignment is spot on - as these cars are very sensitive to geo settings.

Thanks for the advice - had the geo done at JZM and took the car to Bedford on Sat - WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! - still need to practice to get the initial prod then more pressure right... Thanks
