Downloading Gear Club to try it while 4.7 is being sorted. Braking in 4.7 (at low assist) is too slow. Car slows down in chicanes at Melbourne to 30-40 mph. This is good for new players, but bad for 90%+ of the current players. Looking forward, if 5.0 has the NorthLoop then RR3 is worth keeping, otherwise my GC will be exhausted in the next update or two because with bad braking I can't expect making GC from weekly time trials. Glad there's now a plan B at the time GC run out. Sounds like you need to learn braking points and doing things manually? RR3Ghamo, please refrain from unhelpful suggestions. Otherwise you come across as a troll. We are one community here, trying to help each other. If you have a working solution, please share it.

I would hardly characterize 'learning braking points' and 'doing things manually' (meaning without assists, I assume) as unhelpful and not a working solution. There is video evidence that using no assists and good braking points are winning approaches. Unlike G'hamo though, I may not have suggested it to a racer who is leaving RR3 for another game.

I also wouldn't charcterize what FM is doing with this and other updates as slacking. I've read complaints they provide too much for racers to be able to keep up. Any major app is going to have bugs. I think FM is more responsive than most developers. It would be nice if they could be perfect, but I'm not perfect, you're not perfect and I'd like to think I'm not considered to be slacking, because I make a mistake.

As for the braking issue, FM is apparently being deluged with complaints about it and I imagine a solution is coming. It's weird that they claim they didn't make any adjustment to that system, and yet, it has changed, somehow.

Personally, I've checked out my farming runs on Le Mans. Without assists, and even with the new bot behavior, I'm able to keep my laps up to the time I was doing, before the update. It takes some adjustment, but every new car is an adjustment, a learning curve.

In order to win the prize of this update, the MP4-X, it will take a good bit of and BRL, but also some racing. Earlier in my RR3 career, I kept low traction control on. I never felt in control without it. I was forced to turn it off, when I started trying to win events with PR lower than recommended. This MP4-X event -- if FM doesn't fix the brake assist issue before it starts -- will probably force some more drivers to take off the assists. I wish you good luck in your racing in Gear Club and, if you race in RR3 again, I wish you luck, as well.

I hope Gear Club has as good a resource as RR3.wikia.com is for RR3. This wikia is pretty good, so I doubt it (Gear Club) does, and I doubt it will for a long time.
