You are competing on the Endurance event. Unfortunately one of the throttle pedal return springs is already broken, but the car operates well. In the long straigth the other return spring breaks too but the driver doesn't recognize it, and the throttle pedal get stuck at 100%. At the end of the straight, the driver reaches a slalom and pushes the break with medium force. What happens after that?
- The breaks are ineffective to slow down the car while the motors are producing full power, driver looses control over the car, hits all cones at high speed and tries to deactivate TS by pushing the cockpit killswitch.Correct
- TS may remain active, the vehicle can go trough the slalom but won't be able to gain speed anymore.
- BSPD immediately shut down the TS as the driver touches the break pedal.
- The motors, and therefore the racecar, immediately stop at the end of the straight.
