I don't want to have an argument. Its subjective anyhow. But, it was a fixed setup race last night and I had 77% front bias. When I braked I was only applying around 80% pressure on the pedal and the rear was coming around as if I'd pulled the handbrake up. Its borked.
You move the bias around a lot in an FWD touring/cup car as you're balancing the tyre temps/wear during a race. But at 77% front bias it simply should not lock the rears when in a straight line.
And I'm not discrediting Sean and his TCR driver input. But, I trust Kunos more and if you compare it to the Audi TT Cup the handling is very different. They are almost the same platform. (they actually used the TT cup in the first year of TCR)
(Top tip to demonstrate in real life what I'm talking about: In your 172, you have ABS. Pull the ABS fuse and this will change the brake bias to 50/50. Find a safe place to drive in a straight line, brake as hard as you can and it will brake exactly like the Leon was braking last night)
