Learned a bit about this during my motorcycle classes as well, but neat to see its effect with cars.

Oops. I should watch the videos more carefully. :D





I thought I saw a version of this video before, but the speed differential was 10 km/h (compared 50 and 60 km/h).

a little bit of e-brake pressure could have given an additional few feet of distance stopping I bet.

Or just a steer-around with a clutch kick at the end and a power over for fun ;)
