How long does braking from 300km/h to 50km/h take???

Not that long

Not that long

I'd be shocked if that wasn't a kilometer from when he started braking.

The roadside posts seem to be spread at 100m distances. By that I think about 450m which is impressive!

For me it looks like less than 300 metres.
At least judging by poles on the side of the road (they are there every 100m).

Would appear your right, although I would have said 400(hes mid way between 1 when he starts, and mid way through another after passing 3), still impressive though. As a bike though, I look at that and think thats so stupid. He literally can't do anything but break in a straight line and hope for the best.

Hmmm.
Maybe I'm seeing it wrong.
But I paused video by every pole.
But it seems that he starts braking something midway between the poles. By passing first pole he is at 273km/h so that's already 50m of braking.
Then by next pole (150m) he is at 212km/h. Next pole (250m) is at 122km/h. And half distance from that pole to the next he is already at about 50-60km/h.
So looks like just tiny bit less than 300metres to me.

Mathematically it makes sense as well.
As braking distance is dependant on square of speed, then we have.
300km/h at the beginning - square of speed (90,000)
273km/h after 50metres - square of speed (74,529)
212km/h after 100metres - square of speed (44,944)
122km/h after 100metres - square of speed (14,884)
60km/h after 40metres - square of speed (3,600).

As you can see, he is loosing about 30,000 (in squared speed measure) per 100 metres.

Very good result.
Gives about 33metres braking from 100km/h to 0.

Lucky idiot anyway.

Yep sorry I copped another pole on the roadside and took it as an extra 100m, right you are Cinio

dr.fuzzenstein · 15-04-2014 9:08am

Was he doing a wheelie up to 190 km/h? :eek:

i'd say he's an organ donor, but if he hits a tractor at 300 km/h, there'll be nothing left but Bratwurst.

His organs wouldn't be much good at any rate.

Crazy bikers are de rigeur here now but how would they feel racing an R8 V10 through medium traffic on a twisty 4 Lane motorway with the R8 sometimes only a couple of metres from their back wheel!

This is fcuking insane.

On a side note, the R8 driver does seem pretty capable.

Thats fairly awesome .

Both the bikes and the car.

How much is one of those Audi compared to any old GSXR 1000 though.

I hope the Koenigsegg driver was lynched after that dangerous failed showoff attempt!

- i hope nobody in the crowd seriouslly hurt too

^ That happened in Poland about a year ago, there were about 20 people injured I think but no fatalities.

For the love of cars. Aired on C4 a few nights ago. This ones about the ford escort.

DURATION: 46:20
The Mark I Ford Escort Mexico was the car that brought speed to the average lad on the street, allowing young blokes to spin their wheels. The humble Ford Escort might have been created as a family car, but when it was taken rallying a true legend was born.

Got to love the mountain in the Isle of Man.

I once past a copper there doing 140mph on a Gixxer.

But if you dare break the speed limits after Creg-ny-Baa corner, they will nail you up for it.
