DwD 0737: Proper ABS Usage on Track
About this episode
The discussion dives into how to best use ABS on the track, weighing threshold braking against relying on ABS intervention. The hosts share personal experiences, noting ABS can reduce tire wear, improve safety, and offer consistent braking performance, especially for less experienced drivers. They highlight a motorsports-tuned ABS system that significantly cuts braking distances, suggesting ABS can be a performance advantage rather than a crutch. The episode also touches on the balance between driver skill and technology, emphasizing ABS as a helpful tool rather than a cheat. Listener questions and feedback add depth to the conversation.
DwD 0737: Proper ABS Usage on Track
We love listener questions and this week we were asked what our thoughts were on ABS usage on track. Do we just hammer the brake and let the system figure it out or try to stay just below engagement, etc. Ben had some great thoughts and Bill was there too.
