I watched this today and was screaming at the screen, " let off the brakes and turn!!!"
I'd expect any driver to know that you're supposed to pump the brakes when they lock up. Or that you'd avoid hitting the wall so hard if you just let off the brakes and turn away from it.
Actually, I was taught not to pump the brakes. That just takes you from sliding to zero braking to sliding to zero braking. In my Skip Barber Racing School training they taught us to just relax your foot and leg muscles. It is really hard to teach your brain to relax a set of muscles when you are heading rapidly toward a solid object, but it is the best way to recover. When you relax your foot and leg muscles, the brake pedal will push back just enough to stop the lock up yet keep enough hard braking to still slow you down quickly.
Going from no braking to locking over and over isn't going to help of course, you still need to keep the brakes on, just varying the pressure to stop lock-ups. Maybe I should've just said that instead of pumping.Actually, I was taught not to pump the brakes. That just takes you from sliding to zero braking to sliding to zero braking.

Interesting selection of cars, I cant wait to hear how some of the Test Drivers are making out![]()
I wish I can be a testerI sent some invites to several no ABS drivers, see if any of them interested

I got the call from Rido to be a tester. Every series I drive in, I drive without any aids. I would like to think of myself as a pretty capable driver, and have been racing without ABS for around a year now. If you have questions on my skill level, you could probably ask Johnnypenso, I saw he posted here earlier, and I've raced him the most out of anyone else on this forum. I'm glad there's growing interest on the No ABS scene, it truly is the best way to play the game.
Long story short, sign me up as a tester.

I gave Trackrippers RGT a go and did a 2:05.919. I was on 2 - 3 potentially mid 2:05 laps (about 2-3 tenths in lead on the backstraight), but then I threw them away in the last chicane.
Even worse: I forgot to save the replay, now I do only have a little number on the tracks fastest times leaderboard.
Silly

(you wouldn't believe how many people I already deleted just because I no longer knew who the 🤬 they actually are.)
I feel I'm getting old...
