Default Re: Average Braking Distance

it depends how you like to drive. i hardly use the brakes, and they only just stop the car. (full brake is like half brake with me)

i tend to just brake a touch and throw the car into the corner, let the momentum wash of the speed. mind you this only works on a high speed open track and you have to have a set up that sticks. or you'll have the problems i was having last race meet.

mine probably takes about 12 metres. carbon fibre brake.

do you really want it to break so hard though? if you lock it up you will not be able to turn. set it so it stops yet still allows you to turn.
