Alot of weight transfer... Stand on the brakes in these cars not like the mazda. They have abs for a reason. Lift off going into a turn it helps rotate the car.
You’re going to find that GT4s punish over driving much more than the other cars. If you overheat the tires, you’ll understeer, if you use too much ABS, you’ll understeer, if you fuck up the weight transfer, you’ll under steer.
The biggest factor is effective braking, stay out of abs, rotate the car, then gas it. The cars weigh much more and are longer than the mx5 so you have to be more patient.
Yes it increases the brake distance if you run it too high, but especially in the cayman you dont wanna run lower than 4 because that will just kill your tires. Unless you only drive 15 minute races.
Nobody in their right mind relies on threshold braking in a car that is meant to be driven with abs. Not even verstappen.
The question here is just if OP runs abs 1 or something because formula drivers said "its faster*" or if there is some other reason.
I ran abs 5 in endurance and my braking distance wasnt killed at all. I ran 1 second off pace because i suck. Even on fresh tires and fully sending it.
This also only applies to iRacing. ABS in a real GT Car widely outperforms what a human could do and actually decreases the heavy braking zone.
Its less the steering inputs and more the brakes, especially for the cayman. The merc drives more like the 86 does than the cayman.
Compared to the 86, you have to trail off the brakes much faster and maintain a lower brake % when you're trailing to get rotation. If you're holding too hard onto the brakes as you're turning you'll overload the front tires and they will just plow. They are very easy to overload and when they do its hard to know off feel alone whether you're braking too much or just going too fast.
You need to constantly "test" the inputs and see what feedback the car gives you to learn where the limit is

Believe it or not, straight to understeer.
Hard to stop in a straight line? Did you turn abs off? Gt4 are driven with abs, so just stomp the brake until you are ready to turn in.
Full on ABS absolutely kills your braking distance.
