I have a comment to make about the above video and it's a
great lesson to be learned to avoiding contact on the track.
There was a discussion here on the RTR Forum earlier, about the
technological advances newer cars have built in to them... helpers,
or nannies, or whatever you'd like to call them. Specifically, ABS.
When the Instructor was urging his Student to put "Both feet in --
Both feet in!" you noticed he was still able to steer the car under
full hard braking.
Well, that's the beauty of ABS. The car can still be steered under
full hard braking. That may not necessarily be the only thing that
saved him, but I'm sure it was a big factor.
