there was alot of cars on the track and a mix of first timers and experienced drivers I was lucky I guess that I didn't have anyone close behind me, at least not after the first session

I dunno. I didn't see to have too many issues with braking. It's just a matter of really stamping on them, but just enough so they don't lock. Then again, I'm sure I definitely could've done some much later braking, but didn't due to fear of having an(other) off.

Sasso wrote:Marcus is your brake pedal hard or soft?
I would say soft. It requires a fair bit of push to get them to bite as much as I want them to, but havnog not dríven any other fives (besides my first one, which I never tracked and only had for a month) it's kind of hard to say whether this is the way they all are, or whether mine is an exception to the rule.
