Spot on!
The most shocking thing in any dedicated track car or extremely high performance car is always the braking capabilities.
I have a few images from the 2019 USGP I will try to dig out.. We were in the Red Bull pen at the end of the back straight. We got to see the cars brake from 200 then go through the multi-turn complex and blast off into the Turn 8 replica.
Good Times!!
I can't wait to get back this year!!
