        Rear brake pressure proportioning valve The lever type proportioning valve provides 7 distinct settings from which to produce the most suitable braking ratio. The brake balance should be biased towards the rear so that with the valve piped in to the rear line and set in position 7 where virtually no reductions occurs, the balance is as much to the rear as will ever be needed.
  • Page 16 Progressively start reducing again the brake pressure to cold down the brakes slowly during the in lap. Do not just stop braking because this can produce a very fast cooling and cause cracks because of thermal shocks. When returning to the track, come up progressively to race speed and pressure.
