Hi Bruce, that‘s an interesting post and I can really relate to that. It is interesting that everyone seems to say that they are slower when turning off SA for at least some months. This is why I never tried seriously before because it is demotivating! Anyhow, this time I‘m going to try to stick at it, but only with slower cars and unimportant races as an experiment to start with.

The transition to from BA low to BA off was much more progressive. I started trying more and more often to turn it off and also used to brake manually, even with BA low on, to see who brakes first, me or the BA? I had it as an emergency backup, in case I totally missed the braking point. Then one day I realised I wasn‘t even turning it on any more. Took about a month to gradually wean myself off BA.

The problem with turning SA off (in terms of making a transition) is that the car feels so completely different to drive, like being a newbee again! That was not the case when turning BA off.
