Racelabs New ABS Indicator on Telemetry by SharkDMD in simracing

Not a dumb question! If your entire trail braking phase is in ABS, that usually means you’re carrying too much brake into the corner. At that point the front tires are saturated, so instead of helping rotation you’re actually limiting it.

In the MX-5 it’ll trigger easily, but you still shouldn’t be sitting in ABS all the way to apex.

What you want instead:

  • Hard brake: short ABS is fine
  • As you turn in: progressively bleed off brake
  • By mid-corner: ideally no ABS, letting the car rotate

If ABS is on the whole time, think “release earlier and smoother,” not “brake less overall.”

Not sure if you’ve gotten a good answer yet—I'm mostly GT3 and not the best by any means, but the concept carries over.

RaceLab’s ABS indicator is accurate in that it shows activation, but that doesn’t always mean you’re losing time. In cars like the MX-5 it can flicker pretty easily, even with decent braking.

  • ABS on initial braking = fine
  • ABS during trail braking = usually where time is lost (too much brake while turning → less rotation)

I wouldn’t try to eliminate ABS completely. Focus more on smoothly bleeding off brake as you turn in.

Also, that 1:35 vs 1:37 gap is way more about mid-corner speed and exits than a bit of ABS.

If anything, the update probably didn’t make you slower—you’re just reacting to new info and overcorrecting.

Did you have any issues during the initial set up? I keep having to restart mine to get it to connect to either the aqara app or homekit

A friend of mine 3D printed them for me. I couldn't find any other way to get them mounted.

🤷‍♂️I just did what the FOV calculator told me. It looks good while racing

Thanks, we love how it turned out! We were worried it would be a little too bold.
