UM Ford GT GT3

The Ford GT GT3 V2 offers sophisticated brake control through a dual-master-cylinder system spanning 15.9mm to 23.8mm, allowing drivers to mechanically shift brake balance before fine-tuning with the in-car bias adjustment. This flexibility is essential given the car's 1411kg wet weight and mid-engine layout, which creates dynamic weight transfer patterns during braking. The system includes three brake pad compounds (Low/Medium/High friction) and a 12-position ABS with dedicated maps for dry (1-6), wet (7-11), and full disable (12), giving you precise control over intervention levels.

Braking stability connects directly to suspension setup, particularly through low-speed rebound damping. Increasing rear rebound stiffness slows the pitch change as you apply brakes, enhancing stability but potentially reducing rear grip. Front camber adjustments create a direct tradeoff: more negative camber improves mid-corner grip but reduces braking performance, requiring a rearward bias shift to compensate. This relationship between alignment and brake balance is critical for optimizing both corner entry and mid-corner phases.

The manual recommends mapping brake bias, traction control and ABS to accessible controls for on-track adjustment. The dry and wet ABS ranges describe the available maps, not a universal starting setting. Tire-temperature readings help evaluate tire loading and alignment; they do not measure brake temperature.
