go take some track lessons first before talking. I've probably gotten more real track days experience then you in forza 
non-ABS is only good for training braking, but ultimately ABS cars still have the fastest lap times

Why do race cars not utilize ABS?

With traction control, a poor driver can drive faster, while a good driver would drive slower, thus narrowing the field not allowing those who are more skilled to excel.
Without ABS, a good driver will be much faster than a poor driver, whereas ABS will just falsely assist the poor driver.

^ exactly. I think the WRC cars have electronic diff control but I think it only allows it to be manually adjusted through electronics, theres no computer changing diff settings automatically as they drive.
is ABS on newer cars different? the only vehicle I've been in where ABS has kicked in was my moms 92 Aerostar, where it pumps the brakes on and off for you. But in games where I've had ABS on (haven't tried FM3 yet) the brakes don't stutter they just keep the max pressure without locking up. If it's still the kind that stutters there's no way anyone would want that on a race car I don't think...

for max braking your suppose to have max pressure with out locking up, so in real life abs saves lives, helps you turn.
if fm3 the abs helps with max pressure so technically it shortens stopping distance

using ABS will allow you to brake later and harder without being worried about locking up
you actually have to use less brake pressure each time to prevent the brakes from locking up
| That's you saying that, and from what i understand ur saying that by braking later it shortens braking distance.... and if u've had lessons in a real car then u should know that u never ever brake during a corner... which is what i'm interpreting as ur saying in the top quote, oh and ome more thing u notice how when you brake really hard and there are "stuttered" tire marks on the road? that's the wheels locking up and increasing ur stopping distance whereas with a non-abs car (if you can control it) it won't happen Quote: |

| And please don't start throwing "i'm better than you in real life" speeches because I hve had instructors teach me on car control and racing both in autox and circuit.... and I have the nurburgring in my avatar for a reason, i've gone down the north circuit multiple times on my own and in the BMW M5 ring taxi
