FFS. It's not a bug!

For Christ's sake.
No reason to get angry. We are just discussing pros and cons, and both sides have their arguments.
If you land perfectly flat in Stadium, the chassis clips with the track and wigs out. The simple solution? Don't land -perfectly- flat.
How can you control whether you are going to land perfectly flat? In Stadium the air brake gave you control of how you would land. Since TM2 has no air brake anymore the conclusion is: If you land perfectly flat you have to live with the speed penalty and have no way to change it. This what you call a feature (and not a bug) would be one of the reasons why we
need to have air brakes.
In real cars, is there an airbrake? Nope. See where I'm going with this? There have been non-airbrakes before there was an airbrake. Yeesh.
Oh well, I don't think that you can compare real world cars to TM's driving physics. I mean who would drive loopings in RL and jump off high cliffs?

However, if we were to do that with our own cars then they would have air brakes. Take this as granted.
And lastly: Those who don't want to use air brakes don't need to. It's no harm having them.
