I see your point, though in racing brakes make a car faster, not slower. :)

- LeonM 7y agoBrakes slow a car down in terms of velocity over time. But they may make a car faster in the sense of distance over time (aka lap times). I guess the real issue here is that 'fast' is ambiguous. In terms of racing it can be used for both lap-times or velocity. lap-times and maximum velocity are not necessarily correlated. </nerdsnipe>
- michalf6 7y agoYou could say that brakes make the car faster in race conditions.
- IggleSniggle 7y agoDaaaaaaaymn. Good one, holds up!
- JangoSteve 7y agoThey often are correlated though. Better brakes mean you can stay on the accelerator longer before braking, which means you usually have higher maximum velocity and faster lap times (faster lap times are literally higher average velocities, so this makes sense).
