    Just like in an arcade game. You actually get rewarded, because it brings heat into the tires faster. There's no excuse for it.

    Unless, when I do it (to often), I get race-destroying flat spotting making me go slower after that.

    It also burns through the tires durability, so no whilst it is faster for maybe two corners, it'll kill you in the long run.

    I don't believe it is beneficial in any way to lock. I'm looking forward to your prove/evidence of this issue though.

    I've asked it before, but I'll do it again just to be sure.




    Is this a troll thread?

    Of course Alonso can do it. He uses his majestic eyebrows and massive cojones to get the car to do what he wants.

    Or maybe you can address an (in your eyes) issue in a normal way without these irrelevant shouts like "there is no excuse for it".
    Almost looks like you just want to pick a fight.

    Well when people come here with big claims and provide no proof whatsoever, then obviously people will wonder if they are trolling. You are making the claim, you bring the proof to support your argument. It's not up to us to disprove your claim when you don't offer anything.

    I would stick to the AMS2 steam forum though. Seems to be more entertaining.

    Do you? Does that feature in the game? I've never noticed it myself. Going to have to try it out now!

    Yes it does. Not sure if all cars have it but I would think so.
    Can be very annoying if your steering wheel is vibrating heavily.

    All that was asked was to provide a little evidence, as some on here will just say... nope, not the case for me. It's easy to make a claim, for example: I find that crashing into all the cars while going round, makes me twice as fast! But then, I'm a genius.
    Maybe we can create a lobby and you can race us and show off your amazing tyre wrecking skills.

    PS I forgot to add.... if all you are talking about is late-braking, then sure, that's a standard tactic and does heat the tyre and possibly flat-spot them and over a 5 lap race is fine. But do it every turn over 30 laps and you will have no tyres as has been stated.
