Depends on your definition of crap driving I guess - I'm not sure I'd want to try for vmax without knowing how much room I have.HSC911 said:Due to short braking area rather than crap driving, IF that is what you guys mean by strange :sad:
And have a closer look at stopping distances required before a run.HSC911 said:Hope they build a bigger and better one soon :thumb:
squelch said:The vid states that 530m braking zone is too short to slow down from 270kph. Similarly (or not) my 20m long driveway is too short to slow down from 70mph which is why (among other reasons) I don't enter my driveway at 70mph.

Plenty of other guys managed to stop just fine, if you watch the video he goes past the finish markers, pops it in neutral, coasts a bit then brakes and attempts to corner while still in neutral... All of this without doing a build up run first to check braking distances etc. In this instance it's 100% driver error.

Yes you can brake from 210mph, but not safely.
