I've had a sneaking suspicion driving stock road cars in GT7 that their braking distances feel a tad longer than they did in GT Sport (which in turn felt WAY longer than in GT6). To confirm this, I did a quick test on both GTS and GT7 with a completely bone stock TVR Tuscan Speed 6 on the default Sport Hard tyres, ABS off, and default brake balance of 0 (I've had to buy a brake balance controller from the tuning shop to get the brake balance to show up on the MFD in GT7 in the video, but the default value with no controller is still 0). Both tests were done on my G29. Grip loss settings were set to "Real" on both games.
In GT Sport, slamming the brakes locks up the tyres after a while, and plumes of smoke can be seen from the tyres. Skid marks are clearly left on the tarmac behind the car. In GT7, I barely got any tyre squeals, let alone smoke or tyre marks. Nothing at all.
It feels to me like the stock brakes were artificially weakened to encourage buying aftermarket Brembos from the tuning shop... utterly distasteful if true. Makes me wonder if other aspects of the car, such as the roll bars, were similarly weakened to get us to buy aftermarket parts as well.
What do you guys think?
