We sincerely thank Apex Performance, David Murry Track Days and of course PFC and Darrick Dong, PFC Director of Motorsports for providing the information and video.

Re: How Do Brake Systems Work?
Here are two comparative videos on how BMW MDM (their version of stability control) works at the track. One of the drivers purposefully did not turn off this MDM thing and kept pushing on the corners, after a session one of his front brake pads were completely gone.
Look at the individual wheel brakes. On several occasions, even the brake pedal is not pressed, individual front outside brakes are applied. Also, you can see that the amount of brake pressure applied at the individual wheels are not always the same. BMW MDM is On: VS. BMW MDM Off:
