BRAKE BIAS
Engineering
Brake bias is the amount of brake pressure being sent to either the front or the rear brake callipers. A brake bias set in the negative means the main load of the braking force will be done by the front brake callipers. This gives you a shorter braking distance but heightens the chance of locking a brake.
The opposite, is a positive brake bias which forces the load onto the rear brake callipers which are often smaller than the front. Doing this will decrease the chance of locking a brake at the expense of a longer braking distance.

For the hairpin at Lake Maggiore shown below, brake bias is very important. If you opt for a negative brake bias, which is what I suggest, you will have a shorter braking distance, but be careful not to lock a brake.
For more experienced drivers, I would recommend a front brake bias of -2 on Gran Turismo to allow you to brake before the 50 metre board when arriving at this hairpin corner at 300 km/h.

Although this may incur lockups as shown on the front left tyre below. So for people with less experience I would recommend a brake bias that is either neutral or positive in order to avoid locking brakes.
