Breaking Assist

Learn how to use Forza Motorsport's Braking Assist settings. Understand Assisted, ABS On, and ABS Off to improve your lap times and control.

So, you're looking to get a handle on braking in Forza? It's a crucial part of going fast, and thankfully, the game offers a few assists to help you out. Let's break them down: ### Braking * Assisted: This is the most hands-off option. When you approach a corner, the game will automatically apply the brakes for you. While it'll get you through the turn, it's generally not the fastest way around the track if you're aiming for your best lap times. * ABS On: This is a good middle ground. When you brake, the system pulses them to prevent your wheels from locking up. This gives you more control than 'Assisted' and usually results in faster laps, but it's not quite as quick as turning it off completely. * ABS Off: This is where you're in full control. You'll need to manage your braking force yourself. If you brake too hard (usually over 80% force), your wheels will lock up, which can send you skidding. Mastering this will definitely lead to faster races once you get the hang of it. You can even mimic this lock-up effect by using the brakes and handbrake at the same time. Pro Tip: While 'Assisted' is great for learning, you'll want to work towards 'ABS Off' for the best performance. It takes practice, but the payoff in lap times is significant!
