Everytime I see that car running it is very twitchy under braking, maybe they ruined the braking bias or need a new driver, as you can't just slam on the brakes at that speed (exclusions race cars with downforce and dragsters which are long and stable)

I doubt the parachute was the only braking that was done, parachute for that is overkill anyway, like I say its fine for long wheelbase shit.

Watched it on quite a few runs and always end up spinning to a stop or screetching along to a halt

they do not have a large runoff/braking area!
The car reaches 250mph, or has done in the past..... They need to scrub speed off as quickly as possible.
