wouldn't have had enough speed onboard to come off in a uk car .

I'd love abs but it's a no no. need to master dccd and get the rear brakes up to a level where they contribute a little i think.

Charlie:

Easy to say, hard to do.
I know how tricky that bend is! Been hitting it for 12 years and it still seems hard to get just right.

I did not know there was a corner over the blind rise so was accelrating like it's a straight only to find a near hair pin, so carrying about 30mph too much speed no ammount of magical brake antics would have saved the day. Unless you are David blane or Paul Daniels in disguise?
