Handbrake Turns

[Karlos]

Has anybody found any corners in GT3 where it is beneficial to use the handbrake, just like they do for sharp corners in Rallying?

Cheers

I have found that its more accurate if you use the regular break with rally cars. I did R8 without using the handbrake once. It was kind of hard since i had attempted it for four hours using it all the time. You slow down too much. You have to wait for the gears to change to 1 till you can finally start moving and the acceleration is never any good.

The only one i can do thats beneficial to me (but it took me awhile to master) was in turn 1 on the Tokyo r246. And a added bonus is watching the replay of your turn. Right befor i hit the last overhead sign i use the handbrake and turn my car 90deg. and full accel when i see the road ahead of me.

handbrake turns are just fun, but very rarely do they improve your times

Last corner of Laguna sometimes, and last corner of Grand Valley (can help if your line into the corner isn't the dogs').......
