In terms of "limits of visibility", do you mean that Hugh would brake later or carry more speed around the first part of the bend? Please explain in simple terms... I'm a very simple person! Are you not keen on constant radius turns?
I mean he would be way, way better than me in approaching the maximum speed possible while still being able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear.
Mr Cholmondeley-Warner wrote:For classic AD road driving, the "slow down, then turn" approach is the norm. For more advanced stuff, and for the track, carrying more speed into the corner, using trail braking to assist the turn, and changing from brakes to power as a faster transition, is more common. However it cuts the safety margin, and is therefore not normally taught as part of normal AD.
Hope this helps.
