MotoGP 2 URTSetupsMotoGP2 All About Combined Braking - Tutorial and video

I've made an effort to simplify combined braking in the next few lines and the subsequent demo.

I'll start with What Is Combined Braking (CB)? Well, its just what we all have named it,
GP2 only provides riders with 3 brakes to configure controllers to :

• Front Brake (FB)
• Rear Brake (RB)
• Full Brake (FUB = front and rear brake together)

Combined Braking (CB) involves the application of Full Brake (FUB) with Rear Brake (RB). The Front Brake here has no function.

Therefore, two buttons are required in your controller setup to allow Combined Braking.

Controller set up for XB 360 -
Combined braking set up is different for different riders. What fits in well for me is to use both buttons under the right thumb.
Y = RB
B = FUB

Basic action :

Press both buttons Y B to engage CB and release lower button B to continue with rear brake only.

Concept :

1. Bike Lean Angle At The Point Of Brake
A rider using CB engages braking into a corner differently from a rider using RB.
In RB, the bike's lean angle is higher i.e. the bike is relatively straighter at the point of brake application. The rider while using CB is leaned further i.e. lower lean angle at the point of brake application. This allows the rider to reduce the turning radius while braking.

2. Braking Marker
This is a point on the track where the brake application begins. Riders even use objects to mark this point during training. CB allows you to delay your braking, thus extending the braking marker further down the track.

3. Sharp turning radius in CB (Critical)
Once you have started CB application with both brakes applied, you'll experience how rigid it makes your bike and kills its speed. CB as such is very strong braking, with a tendency to keep bike upright and reduces speed drastically. It also keeps the bike from turning in sharply. Therefore, there is a point where the Full Brake (FUB) is released to continue with rear brake only. This is critical. Thus if a rider was to engage in CB all the way from the entry to the exit point on a corner, the result would be a TOTAL FAILURE.
Thus, once you have entered a corner with CB (both buttons pressed) the FUB button B will need to be released somewhere in the corner. This differs from corner to corner, chicane to chicane, track to track and will be mastered with practice easily.
The point of FUB release is the difference between great and ordinary braking. You will quickly understand at what point the FUB is to be released. Please bear in mind that FUB release gets the bike braking on rear brake only.

HAIRPINS will be easier to understand FUB release points.
CHICANES require very precise, minimum use and quick release of FUB. In chicanes, the idea is to get that SUDDEN CUT in the turning radius ONLY, achieved by release of FUB.

The ultimate CB rider ? (When you know you've arrived)
I'm bettering my CB skill in chicanes everyday? the ultimate place on the track to test your CB efficiency. Thus, when you're able to apply and release FUB in the lowest possible time (only to get the sharp turning radius) and subsequently release the RB thereafter in the lowest possible time (to prevent the bike from falling) the skill is mastered.

SUMMARY, why CB? ?
Lesser braking period ? allows you to brake late and disengage brakes at the same time versus rear braking.
Sharper turning angle/ radius ? thus reducing the covered track area.
Safer braking and Course correction ? CB allows the rider to make corrections and alter the line of travel. Both brakes applied will ensure that an NSR's rear stays firm and never fall while both RB and FUB stay applied. While on the RCV, both brakes can stay engaged longer and allow the bike to hold ground, making the RCV easier to manage. This adds to rider confidence and greater safety required, critical for online play for both bikes.
