I tried them for fun with my car and ended with a 1:55 time. LOL Not useless in the slightest. Use the video as a starting point, back up your braking points. I have many cars under full and I use his videos as a starting point.

Even fully upgraded, most people can not match SpeedJunkie. It's not just the braking points, it's the EXACT race line. you can be fully upgraded and still have all the braking points fail if you take the wrong race line. I am repeatedly surprised at how fast he can get back in the gas when exiting a corner. That is perhaps equally to do with race lines as it is to do with braking points.

Wait... I thought that Jan, Frank Zim and RaduTan all had found Nitro upgrades that no one else knows about to accelerate that fast out of corners... all this time it was racing line?!

--- Just Kidding... In the series time trials that I have full upgrades I always try to Ghost Challenge RaduTan or Jan or CigR or Jim U (ZimFrank's style isn't even close to mine, so I have stopped using his runs as a benchmark), and I am just amazed at how we can be even or I can even be slightly ahead at the first turn, then all of a sudden I am a half second down. There are times I can even match them there (rarely) but then it becomes trying to put it all together in one lap that pretty much kills it. Skid slightly at the start, run the second sector near perfectly and then brake too early towards the end because you want to preserve the run, and before you know it you are crossing the line 4 to 5 seconds off the pace. The precision they control the cars with is truly remarkable to anyone who has tried for hours on end to match it.
