Even in a racecourse, ABS is proving to be an advantage! 

On the touring car championship, BMW's started to impose themselves, at the

end of the straights, not by having a better engine, but because they could

go into a corner 'on the brakes'...



As for myself, ABS was a 'turn-off' 'till I went into 'that corner' a

little bit too fast, on a 'little bit too wet' day !!!
