That's one of the number 1 things in racing, sure, you could go faster in the straight, brake later, but when you are on the ragged edge, you gotta know what your car capabilities are. Anyone who's every pushed it a little too far here knows exactly what I mean, when you realize there is no way you are going to make the next turn. Cars aren't magic and able to do stuff that is outside of normal physics. I know a good number of people racing Teslas and doing pretty amazing. As in they don't suck at handling. Not the best, but not like it's being made out in this thread either.

True, but you have to admit that they put the same brakes you find on any other 3700lbs performance car (M2C for example) on the 5000lbs ship, and gave it ridiculous speed.
It should have the biggest brakes you've seen, but it doesn't. And that's the problem.
