Max Cup Brake Pedal Pressure?
What is the maximum threshold brake pedal pressure that you guys have recorded in your Cup? Trying to set up a sim to replicate a 991.2 Cup as closely as possible. Thanks.

60bar is what my initial peak pressures get to on average with normally anything more leading to front or rear lockup depending on bias, now that amount is very brief before I start bleeding off the pressure as I trail into the brake zone.
If the car has ABS, I try to bend the pedal.

We're currently looking at Ricmotech GT3 Pro and Heusinkveld Ultimate pedal sets as potential upgrades. The Ricmotech system maxes out at 160kg/350lb load range but that figure doesn't represent brake line pressure, which Ricomtech claims exceeds 1,000psi with their pedal set.
Very much a sim novice here so I've likely butchered half of what I've written.
Somewhat unrelated but cool sidebar video I found today:

90-95bar peaks on really optimal tarmac and new tires and spec PFC pads. You might be able to take more with less grabby endurance compounds.
We've seen more in the GT3R--some 100-110bars on thick endurance pads. But that comes with a more forgiving pedal and ABS.
If you're looking to accurately replicate that in a sim pedal, you absolutely need a hydraulic setup. Loadcells and springs can't approximate fluid dynamics at the end of the day.

Thanks. We've come to the same conclusion.

Massive +1 on going hydro setup, no other way if you are looking for this level of feel.

Yeah Michs N2#s are probably designed for this kind of abuse. Pirelli DHs we've tested to be squishier but not far behind in braking behaviour. Yokos I admittedly have no experience--hope I'll be able to drive the N. American series in time!!

Obviously tarmac-dependent but I suspect there's more to be had in the .1: we'd see 10-15% more, even on green street tarmac (it's hotter here tho). The .1 responds well to a big initial hit of BP. The .2 rewards modulation more--the Junior Program coaches would tell you there's more efficiency over a flatter BP shape...
