If a given line can only be taken at 0.9 G's, then that is a
limitation of the vehicle, it doesn't matter if it's a pro driver
or not. Obviously an unskilled or safe driver is not going to take
the car to 0.9 G's, probably 0.85 G's and he loses his nerve. What
the AYC and ACD combination does it allows the car to take the line
at 0.95 G's. The skilled or pro driver is now able to corner at
0.95 G's. Whether the driver is skilled enough to control the car
at this level of cornering ability is another question.[/b]
there is another thing about nerve here. Nerve is not equal to
skills. If they were I wouldn't be enjoying videos of stupid people
crashing their cars when trying to do stupid Shit. Indeed, a
skilled driver who knows his car well knows just how much he can
push it, so its not a case of nerve, but rather, of trust. Trust in
the machine.
