Any tips for helping deal with lockups? Maybe try to reduce brake sensitivity in controller options, brake map setting / max pedal force in the setup menu? - not sure what to change really.

I tried each car and get the same issue on each. After a lap or 2 I start to get a high frequency vibration in my wheel and after testing it seems to be linked to locking tyres (I think) which is going to be an issue for me on a track like this where every other corner seems designed to make you lock up haha.

The only way I seem to be able to detect a tyre locking is seeing the smoke in the mirror if it's a heavy lock up. I'll try and have a play about this evening.

P.S - Is it still best to run softs at lowest pressure?

I mess with the pedal force in the setup menu until I don't lock up under braking

Yeah, lowest pressures and softs. You can either reduce brake pressure or lift the pedal gradually as the car slows. I use the latter

That's kinda interesting. When I tested all the cars, I ran default setup and there was only the Ginetta I had a couple of lock-ups with, the others were fine.
That was one of the reasons I went with the cars, I found them really easy to handle.

These cars is softs at lowest yes.

They are great cars, nice to drive too but I think it was my brake pressure settings at default were locking up to easily. Also have a suspicion the bias was quite far forward. I'm sure I'll sort it tonight using the suggestions given.

 

[Jan Larsen]

Yeah you may have to move the bias to the rear, just watch out for the rears locking on downshifts
