Furthermore, a hard and short travel brake pedal will allow you to
brake later. Imagine having a brake pedal with 50 mm (common
for many sim racers) of travel versus a brake pedal with almost
zero travel. Imagine this scenario: You are going 300 km/h down
a straight. With the long travel brake, it will physically take you
perhaps 1/10 of a second more to reach full braking power. On
the hard and short brake pedal, you will reach maximum braking
power instantly. If you have three hard braking zones on a track,
you will lose 3/10 of a second each lap.
The Top 10 in F1 or GT3 is frequently determined in way less than
3/10 of a second. The conclusion is that we at Asetek SimSports™
have developed the Forte™ pedals to replicate a real race car.
Why? Because it is the fastest but may not be what feels the
most comfortable. It is your choice whether to be the quickest or
have a brake pedal that feels soft and comfortable. The Forte™
will allow both a softer and a longer brake pedal.
