 +You need brakes!
 +
 +Brakes do not count towards the cost of your vehicle as they are considered '​safety equipment'​ so go nuts if you can. Good breaking allows for better driving.
 +
 +Band brakes are typically only used on slower cars. If you're a speed demon hellbent on going fast band brakes probably won't work for you. (But if it's your first build and you're mid-paced, they can work.) Lots of people use disc brakes with calipers, and some people do hydraulic brakes.

 +===== Brake Test =====
 +
 +During qualifying you will need to pass the brake test. You do your qualifying lap as fast as you can and you'll then need to stop in time. We set a marker X number of feet past the finish line and if you can't stop before it, you fail.
 +
 +
 +===== Brake Lights =====
 +
 +Brake lights are awesome, and actually do help other teams from plowing into your rear end. They are not required, but they are recommended.
