How the Gen 3 Supercars Handles Braking
The Gen 3 Supercars feature adjustable brake master cylinders at both front and rear axles, providing precise control over brake line pressure and pedal feel. Larger master cylinders reduce line pressure and increase pedal effort, while smaller cylinders do the opposite. These adjustments automatically affect the brake bias percentage, which represents the proportion of braking force sent to the front wheels—values above 50% shift balance forward, increasing front lockup tendency but potentially enhancing stability.
Brake bias tuning becomes critical given the car's minimal aerodynamic downforce, which fundamentally changes weight transfer dynamics compared to previous generations. The lack of aero load means mechanical grip dominates, making brake balance highly sensitive to suspension setup changes. Increasing front camber for cornering grip will reduce longitudinal braking performance, necessitating a rearward bias shift to compensate. Similarly, shock rebound settings can influence braking stability by controlling how quickly the chassis pitches under deceleration.
The digressive front anti-roll bar offers a sophisticated approach to corner entry: it softens when the nose dips under heavy braking, reducing understeer precisely when you need turn-in response. Combined with proper trail-braking technique, this variable-rate system can transform the car's high-speed understeer into a balanced, controllable platform. Monitor the dash's colored LED lockup indicators during threshold braking—white and blue LEDs signal front wheel lockups of varying severity, while red indicates rear lockup, helping you refine your brake bias and master cylinder settings for each track's unique demands.
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.

3 Essential Setup Tips
Tip 1
Brake Bias
Brake bias controls front/rear brake force distribution. Start with 56-58% front for most cars. Engine placement matters: front-engine cars need more front bias (58-62%), mid-engine cars run balanced (54-58%), rear-engine cars need less (50-54%). Understeering under braking? Add 1-2% front bias. Rear feels loose in braking zones? Reduce front bias by 1-2%.
Tip 2
Know Your Car
Check if your car has ABS, traction control, or brake mapping. ABS allows later braking but can increase stopping distance—adjust activation threshold in setup. High-downforce cars brake later and harder at speed but lose grip quickly as downforce bleeds off. Low-downforce cars require earlier, progressive braking with more trail-braking to rotate.
Tip 3
Quick Fixes
Locking fronts frequently? Reduce front bias 1-2% or brake earlier with gradual pressure. Car won't turn in under braking? Increase front bias 1% and practice trail-braking deeper into corners. Rear unstable in braking zones? Reduce rear bias or use smoother pedal release.
