Best brake light

[jbmunky]

Quick question, What is the best brake light to use on a formula car? Thanks

[Dash]

the one that is the cheapest, lightest, simplest, and makes your car go faster.

Something that goes red and is bright when you push on the brake.

Just make a simple board with a bunch of bright red LEDs. Or just buy one. Simple = Better in this case.

Clearly the one we had in 2008 that was on for the whole of enduro and therefore caused a rule change.

Harbor freight sells a 12v LED strip that we've used a couple times. Light as hell.

@Wesley, We found a 12v LED strip with a sticky back at Walmart, too. 2 for $12 or something like that, it looks cool & is plenty bright enough. We had no issues with it un-sticking. We cleaned the area with acetone prior to applying the strip.

The first noteworthy contemporary apparatus to be tested and inaugurated into the list of safety systems was a suspension tether device incorporated into Championship Auto Racing Teams Champ Car and Indy Racing League racing. After more than one fatality that involved heavy suspension and wheel systems flying off crashing race cars and hitting spectators, the tether system was created. These simple fiberglass restraining straps loosely connect suspension parts to the chassis of the car and keep them from ejecting missile-like after a crash. In subsequent situations, these tethers have proved their worth.

Honestly, Walmart.

Edit: If you would like your brake-light to adhere to this forum subsection, follow Tod W's example.
