Cadence Speed
The good braking technique on the track
Before entering a curve on a track is almost certain that braking hard to make the correct entry speed. While do this you'll probably want to keep track of the direction of your vehicle, so lock up all four wheels may not be the best strategy!
Threshold braking is the technique should fight this situation, which is the fastest way to slow. This method includes brakes braking limits adhesion, without allowing the wheels to lock. But sometimes it is very difficult to judge the amount of braking force of the tires will accept before locking up. This technique should be practiced regularly in his race car before you can accurately judge the brake pressure needed in different conditions.
The key to this technique is progressive braking inputs. If the seal as hard as you can about the resulting peak pedal forward weight transfer can cause blocking the wheels in the back (if you do not have ABS fitted), while more progressive braking inputs allow to load the front wheels so more gradual, without compressing the front suspension to extremes. This does not mean you can not brake hard, but try to apply the brakes gradually but quickly. As load up the front wheels to the forward weight transfer, which artificially increase the amount of grip available to help further its deceleration.
If you have ABS, this technique is still relevant so sudden progressive weight transfer also alter the balance car must be stable before entering a fast corner.
Another factor to consider is the change of state between a rotating wheels and a locked wheel. rubber tire does not change between these two states as quickly as you might think and there is a transition period of "dragging" before the wheel Finally locks. The maximum braking force a tire can provide is really as it begins to slide and this is the point the point of threshold braking. It sounds complicated and it is!
The next thing to consider is what to do if you do lock up one or more wheels when braking (this happens quite often until you are familiar with his car and the track). When the wheel lock that have several options.
- Keep the brakes on - the wheel (s) will be maintained closed so this is really only an option of last resort if your desired path straight. Note that the car's directional stability is compromised in this state. If you need to turn must release the brakes to regain control of management.
- The second option is to release the brakes a bit and reapply the pressure a little less. This should release the locked wheel and let him lead. Now you can go to try to stop threshold.
- Cadence braking involves re-apply the brakes several times but still suffers from the wheels blocked. Keep the release and re-apply the brakes in the best conditions I can to try to find the point threshold. This will give a compromise between braking and steering, but it is the fastest method of braking. The cars with ABS automatically try to find the threshold point for the quick release and reapply the brakes.
In summary, the target threshold stop, but until you are a very experienced driver make sure you have a contingency in the manga!
