It wasn't about braking on ice, he was using ice as an example. The thread was about brakes being able to overcome the grip produced by the tyres. Which is correct TBH, if it takes 250Nm to lock the wheels at a given speed, then having brakes which will produce double that will make no...
Well we've had a couple of people say they can't do the dates stated, so I think we may be better off moving it to the week before, which is a bank holiday.
We've also had a suggestion from Dan@SJM that we could use his field, as opposed to the above location. Complete with heated swimming...
We've already established that.
However the faster you go, the more force the brakes need to apply to slow you down again. Your brakes may be that powerful at 70, but they probably aren't able to lock up at 140.
If the limiting factor is your tyres, then the size of your brakes or the effort they produce beyond the adhesion limit of the tyre is irrelevant.
However there is a difference between a Civic and an ST. So one will win. I cannot be arsed to research which.
