F1 2015 brake balance

Jan Holm · Sep 13, 2015

Is there any way to adjust the brake balance, in a file or something ?

I've turned the brake bias to the rear, but the front wheels still lock up on braking.

If you look at the temperature during braking U'll see each front and rear brakes changing color from green to red...that meas that bias is 40% front and 60% rear. Do you mean you want to increase the rear, that means to much lock

I wan't to increase the rear. The front locks up every time i brake.

Where do you find out the percentages? 40/60 seems a heck of a bias to me.

Select Info ( where you can see damage also ) temperature during braking.

Default braking is at front 60/40, rear 40/60, balanced 50/50

Why they did this, I don't know. Previously I had a choice of bias % and I was always in the 48% front/52% rear range. Now our favourite engineer tells me to try rear bias to stop front lock up (if I run balanced), then later on after changing he tells me to try front bias because my rear is locking up.
