 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. Brakes do not count towards the cost of your vehicle as they are considered '​safety equipment'​ so go nuts if you can.

-Band brakes ​were once considered bad, but supposedly in 2016 they were marked as "just fine" by smart people (at least for slower cars.) Hydraulic ​brakes ​are doableDisc brakes ​are good, and most people ​use them.+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.
