We’ve heard of slalom and skid pad tests and a whole bunch of other tests but this one beats them all. A group of Americans –we don’t know any details concerning the how’s and why’s, where taken to the famous Nurburgring race-track in Germany to learn how to slow down a vehicle in case your brakes died or if you suddenly came across a big accident that you didn't have time or space to avoid using the brakes.
