    Yes, there are multiple issues here.
    First of all our ABS is nowhere near being perfect so it certainly does not provide a optimal result yet.
    However we also have the problem that locked tires still have too much grip compared to non locked tires.
    Both are known issues and constantly being worked on :)

    I love this car. It is a sports car but feels like a supercar. Great job Hirochi.

    Nav unit hasn't been added to anything else than the 2 ETKs so far.

    The vehicles I like the most in this game are the race variants of the official cars. At this point, there is pretty much every category of race cars, we have bangers (barstow, moonhawk), rallycross (covet), rally (old pessima, etk 2400 and hirochi sunburst), touring (race etk 2400i and race sunburst), old GT (Civetta GT), kind of GT3 (200bx race), even old and new hillclimb cars (old pessima and SRB4). (well, even race vanster :p)

    The only thing missing IMO is a current GT car, that would be terrific. Are there plans for a GT version of the SRB4 or the ETK-K ?

    Anyway, thanks for the awesome work, Gabe and devs. Cheers ;)

    Did some research today. SBR4 is absolutely brilliant, and probably will be a money-maker if it's a real life vehicle

    Talking about the ABS, it also heats the brakes up a crapton if you brake on a downhill in the newer Pessima and the D15.

    Brake thermals do not care about the ABS, they literally take the energy dumped by the brakes and convert that into useful data.

    Well, I know, but I don't remember ABS making so much heat in real life.

    It is not about the abs, the abs may apply worse braking techniques than irl.
    The only thing brakes do is converting energy. To be precise, kinetic energy (1/2*mass*velocity^2) is converted in heat (how much depends on the surrounding, brake material etc.) But energy in = energy out.
    Brakes heat up when they don't have the airflow and time to cool down, for example when you hold your brakes instead of hitting it harder once to slow down.

    The sbr is highly unstable at higher speeds but could that be more on the car concept itself? As it has a heavy engine at the rear and a fairly big spoiler at the back but not as much on the front of the car so your front tires lose alot of grip at the front. Also another possibility could be the chassis itself not being strong enough so it kinda moves by itself on higher power sbrs like the twin turbo ones

    Give us back the old 2.5ltr engine sound not the 2.0ltr shared onto the 2.5ltr.
