How the Aston Vantage GT4 Handles Braking
The Aston Martin Vantage GT4 provides exceptional braking control through three adjustable systems: brake bias, brake pad compound, and a 12-position ABS system. Brake bias can be adjusted on-the-fly to shift braking force between front and rear axles—values above 50% increase front brake pressure, enhancing straight-line stability but raising front lockup risk. The baseline ABS setting (position 7) offers strong protection against lockups, though aggressive drivers may prefer lower settings for maximum threshold braking control.
Brake pad compound selection fundamentally changes pedal feel and stopping power. Low compound pads deliver excellent modulation for precise trail-braking but require longer braking distances. Medium and High compounds provide stronger initial bite and shorter braking zones, though at the cost of reduced pedal feedback. This choice should align with your driving style and track characteristics.
Setup interactions significantly impact braking performance. Higher negative camber increases mid-corner grip but reduces longitudinal braking traction, necessitating a rearward brake bias shift to compensate. The dashboard's wheel lockup indicators (blue lights for each corner) provide real-time feedback during threshold braking, helping you optimize both bias settings and ABS intervention level for each circuit's unique braking zones.
Stop Guessing, Start Improving
Many drivers slam the brakes with all their strength, but the fastest modulate pressure, use the brake to rotate the car, and exit as fast as possible. Train that skill here.

General practice tips
Tip 1
Starting point
Start with the official setup and consult the simulator documentation for available controls. Appropriate brake bias depends on the car and conditions.
Tip 2
One variable
Change one setting at a time and compare several laps. Record the change and observed behavior before keeping it.
Tip 3
Comparable conditions
Compare similar fuel loads, tires and track conditions. One lap alone does not establish that a setting is better.
