Ephesians 6:12 says, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Jesus disrespected every religion, in John 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. We are not to be with any other religion. Because if we do, Matthew 6:24 says, No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Don't pray for other religions.. But we are called to pray for one another in James 5:12 says, But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Jesus saves, God bless.😊

thanks for this tutorial I can finally drive my F1

[@Aarbenzi]

I would love to know how you balance the brake, what are the properties that determine what your brake balance is? Also awesome video ❤

[@jakerose3872]

Brake balance just determins which tires will lock first. Most drivers tend to move the bias towards the rear for heavier braking zone as to not lock the front tires. Pretty much the golden rule is you want your bias as far to the front as possible with out having then lock.

[@metalale5529]

[@ZachRiccardi]

I’d actually love to find out how brake balance and migration affect the car

[@effinhell]

Google

[@MikeCheng91]

When you brake, there's 100% brake power use on the front end and rear end of the car combined. Brake balance let you modulate how many percentage of that 100% distributed between front and end. A 50.5% Brake bias means 50.5% of total brake power is used on front end of the car, 49.5% is using at the rear end of the car. High brake bias toward the front end of the car means the front tire will have more weight on braking: which can slow down faster, easier to lock up, making your front tire worn out faster or heat up faster since braking produce heat energy. More brake bias toward the rear make the car more stable on the brake (less shaking) longer brake distance. more understeer if you are trail braking into the corner. I mostly race on GT3(on a sim) so I don't know much about brake migration. But i can imagine it have some what similarity to ABS.

[@River_of_Revenge]

@@MikeCheng91 Balance is about under and oversteer. More in the front gives you oversteer and more in the back gives you understeer. It depends on whether the track is more linear or open.

@@EM_Karting it’s a dual stage clutch and they only use it for the start off the line or when they have to restart the car and get it back into drive.
