So basically, the racing brake are only effective if - your car is equipped with racing tires - the car has a front weight bias (so mostly FF/FR/4WDs benefit from this) - you know how to use the increased trail-braking power to your advantage. Now I also understand why I always noticed the last point so much, even on cars like the RX-7 (which has a fairly even weight distribution).
That only applied in cornering while on straight-line you need some control on braking or else it will be useless due brakes get locked or wont function like usual. I tried to brake using G29 logic and it showed the difference on braking power but quite a gap.
@@hartonosutrisno5452 GT4 has ABS by default on all cars, it stops the wheels from fully locking up when braking in a straight line. Even then, if it becomes an issue, the brake controller upgrade can be used to adjust the brake pressure bias to mitigate it.
RR also benefit those have more.front end meaning turn easily, you can send the car faster into the entry point with a stiffer rear end, the yellow bird doesn't behave as the one in the video the front.end.is lighter though you can benefit in.mid speed.corners.and.high speed corners as you point the front towards the corner and stabilize with brakes, in low speed is useless you need to be slower in entry, MR also benefit a lot as their forte are cornering, i equip those in all because it gives more entry while braking even if is a tap for high speed corners
Im really glad you tested how they behave when turning. Learning how to extract the most speed out of cars in GT4 is truly fun and still feels fantastic.
It makes sense honestly, the limiting factor when it comes to stopping a vehicle isn't the brakes, it's the traction. In real life, most sports or race brakes aim at combating fade more than anything
You'd be surprised at the number of people who play this game whose immediate instincts is to reach for the racing brakes whenever they have issues slowing down for the corners.
It does make me wonder if they intentionally re-named the upgrade from "sports brakes" to "racing brakes" between GT3 and GT4 because of it, but there's so much misinformation in the part descriptions that it might have just been pure coincidence.
I've tested this before by editing the car's dirtiness to max using GT4SaveEditor and comparing the 0-1000m before and after the car wash, the car performed the exact same.
@memeboicrep9502 Car wash actually washes the car! I noticed clearly for the first time when years ago I washed the 350Z LM after several races and one endurance. The lower door zone was dirtied by the exhaust flames, and went back clean.

Old forums explained this before, racing brakes are for racing tires else is waste of $$$!

I was really really really dumb waiting for the race cars up until the S2000 and going "...They already have racing brakes of course"
Great Comparison Videos! Straight to the Point. Keep it up :)
Thank you for just cutting to the chase, subbed :)
PD logic: racing tyres need racing brakes. Otherwise we'd have made sport brakes for sport tyres
😂

@@Tea_Vault possibly
Well yeah because no matter what brake you are using at the end of the dau your tyre is the decisive factor
Pretty much sums up bigger brake is for better control when turning and better endurance
Please, test if washing your car makes it more aerodynamic

@@Tea_Vaultso is car wash really useless?
@@Tea_Vault thanks for answering

What if brakes are like this only on the iso versions
There's multiple threads on GTPlanet from 2005 onwards that line up with the results of this comparison, I don't think it's an emulator or ISO issue.
There's no such thing as an "iso version", isos are just dumps of the orginal game discs
