To exemplify the experiment, EE focuses on the rear braking setup of a Honda S2000 (RWD) filmed with a thermal camera. What ensues is down to a force going by the name of friction, but we'll let the video do the explaining.
At just three minutes long, it's the perfect way to chase away Monday blues without killing productivity.
