First, NASCAR's brake lights are not functional, they are stickers, or rather vinyls, BUT they have them.

Second, If you're racing behind other cars, you can see them back up to you, when they brake, if there are no lights. It's later than when you see lights, but it should help.

Last: The MP4-X we are driving is the only one built, right now. Ahmed said he would build himself a second one, after he gives this one to us, so.. we may not be racing against other MP4-X's at all! Who knows, though, maybe Norm will bring a dozen of them to the track.

That being said, there is nothing like this car, so the rules are changing.

I suggest a different approach to finding the perfect braking point. Set a long point, an early brake point that is safe. Then, try a very short, late brake point, and see if it is safe. If it is, keep going shorter, if it is not, then try halfway between your first, long, early point and your last, short, late point. Keep dividing the distances in half. You get to the perfect point quicker. (An old troubleshooting technique)

Happy Motoring. I'm changing my clock earlier than it actually changes (at 2 am, back to 1 am) to see what happens at the old 1am, new midnight. I want to see how close I was with my PR prediction!
