although i did see a few other that flew into the pits and had to apply the brakes hardcore, smoke pouring everywhere....... guess it all depends

And actually in the Gran Turismo game, it drives automatically for ya in the pit. No need to worry about braking, killing people or anything.:tup:

yea some pit lanes have a designated speed limit, to try to limit the accidents. but i do understand its just another way the judges can see the "best" out of the competitors.

Absolutely. Master the right time to brake is one of the most important key to win a race. It's the combination of knowing your car's limit, knowing the road condition, knowing the track and the driver's judgement.

Wow, it gets pretty intense now. I hope Matt stays as he's shown great potential. But they are all good. It's always sad to see someone has to go home at the end of each episode... Thanks for the video update!:tiphat:

I have to sooo try out for this for next season... I already have one GT award... I need this one to complete the set... the only bad thing is... some of us have way more track experience then the guys on the show... I have a ton in the Z with and without ABS... no ABS is crazy!!! lol gotta be on your game for that. I noticed in the last episode the guys were having a hard time without the ABS...
