KE is 249761.25 Joules
A 500 Kg car at 100 mph is 499522.5 Joules
So our little car at 100 compared to a Sierra at 50 has twice the energy because of the square, but half the energy of the Sierra at 100 mph.

Errr yeah, I think
. I threw the question out to see what would come back but I have a sneaky suspicion that your sums are better than mine. I shall be erring on the side of caution and using discs all round, probably with a servo
