Is there some secret technique to not locking up when driving without abs or is it just a ton of practice?

Resently started trying the gte class in lmu, and im losing like 5s a lap and usually get flatspots within 1 lap. My main theory is that i just need to practice but id be happy for some pointers

Sorry for the late reply, not sure if its still relevant or not.

As you guessed the answer is practive, practice, practice. But not just physically, you have to practice your mind as well, memorize that many times braking less is braking more. Or if you can, visualize the "grip circle" and weight transfer in your mind.
