    Hi
    Has anybody else experienced the front brakes being locked on?

    I have started experiencing this coming out of the garage for the first time and/or being on the grid at the start of a race.

    There is no indicator that the brakes are applied and you only know about it when you put the foot down and nothing happens!

    Trying lowering brake pressure I find default at 90 to high I drop it to 76 in vehicle setups also change brake bias more to the rear

    You misunderstand it is not whilst using brake - its exiting garage or starting a race - brakes are logged on with out any input from me

    Do you have something mapped to extra brake?

    I have had this issue. The fix is increasing the brake pedal dead zone to 10 in the game control settings.

    Yes, I can confirm BUT brakes are released immediately after I "prepare" to move (on throttle and/or brake to release)

    throttle application doesn't work for me - well it moves forward with some momentous wheel spin , at which point front of grid becomes the back of the pack:(

    This is the winning number - added a small dead zone (didnt need 10) and so far the issue has gone away .

    That is until I post this!
