Auto parking brake?

Just picked up my g80 6mt. Does it put the parking break on when I power off and am in neutral?

It doesn’t auto-engage.

I doubt it.... it would fuse your pads to the rotor if it were to do that automatically after track laps

So basically I have to hit that stupid button every time. Ok

FWIW... Less effort than a manual e-brake.
