Car brakes review and fixes
I've run our cars through vdrift -cartest looking into brake performance, mainly fixing friction coefficients to have more realistic values (0.3 - 0.7) and increasing brake system pressure where required.

There are a few cars that should have much more aggressive brakes now.

I've ran into one interesting case. TC (Toyota Celica ST185 Rally) reports
60-0 stopping distance (no ABS): 124.708 ft
60-0 stopping distance (ABS): 2326.04 ft

No idea what is going on with the ABS there, will look into it.

EDIT:
There are also a few cars with max power not matching torque curve it seems, which results in incorrect top speed estimation.
