The faster I get the more I encounter ICE mode. I think my driving style is part of why I activate it so much (2-3x a lap on most tracks) and continues to increase as I push my braking points forward.

Generally this plays out when Im at high RPM (7500+) and quickly transition from gas to brake. The pedal is extremely hard for 1 to 1.5 seconds and then finally drops. During this hard pedal some braking is happening, but not the full amount. If I wait for a second or after releasing the gas pedal and then press the brake the problem does not occur. This is starting to lead to me not having a whole lot of confidence in my brakes and I normally build in an extra buffer in my braking zones. With more confidence I would push my braking much farther into corners.

If anyone has solved this problem, please let us know..
