Cars

Pick a class or a car to see its braking grip, example braking distances and class tips. Grip values are estimates until measured from telemetry.

GT4

Production-based race cars with ABS, modest downforce and road-car weight. The usual next step after the MX-5 and the class most iRacing road racers spend their first seasons in.

ABS fitted · 7 cars

GT3

The main sports-car class: more power, more downforce and stronger brakes than GT4, with adjustable ABS and traction control.

ABS fitted · 11 cars

MX-5 and entry cars

Light, low-power cars with no real downforce. Grip barely changes with speed, so the braking zone is about weight transfer and rotation rather than aero.

ABS varies by car · 5 cars

Formula and open wheel

Single-seaters from Formula Vee to Formula 1. No ABS, so holding too much pedal locks a wheel. The faster cars gain a lot of grip with speed, so the first metres of the zone take far more pedal than the end.
