Question

do cars in nascar have anti lock brakes? or is it not neccissary because they mostly just go around an oval track except a few times a year when they are on a road coarse

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

Anti-Lock Brakes

Anti-Lock brakes are also turned on by default. To turn off antilock brakes, clear the checkbox on the tuning form. Anti-lock brakes work in a similar way to traction control. The car senses if the wheels are locked, or turning too slowly for the car's speed when braking. If the wheels are turning too slowly, the car reduces the braking force until they start rotating again. This allows you to steer the car even with maximum braking.



Anti-lock brakes don't reduce the car's braking performance much, but real NASCAR drivers don't get to use them. If you want maximum realism, turn anti-lock brakes off. You will need to learn to pump the brakes to keep directional control during hard braking.



FYI: Traction control is illegal in all Nascar divisions.

Answer 3

They use them more than just road courses by the way. Bristol, Martinsville, Pocono just for example. When you are making turns at 200 mph and its 130 degrees or whatever is hard on your brakes as well. But the answer is no

Answer 4

Dude, no high performance race car use anti-lock brakes. Be it NASCAR, IRL, Formula 1, none of these types of cars would ever use anti-locks! They have to be able to stop on a dime and professional drivers can actually still pretty much control a skidding car. Ordinary joes such as yourself and many others, however lose control when they start sliding. I hope this was a joke question.
