As usual, highly subjective but they did like the Ineos.
Emotions run high in the comments.

They said that the IG had the smallest brakes, quoting that bigger brake discs mean more torque is applied to the wheels when braking.Amusing that the Prado gets their overall win, despite having to be towed up a little hill by a Grenadier.
Also interesting that they scored the Grenadier poorly on braking, despite it having the shortest braking distance from 100km/h.
Maybe I’m just biased.

Commonly quoted, but a misconception.
Now please correct me if I'm a bit dim. Being a 4x4 test would bigger break discs not have meant bigger wheels and therefore smaller tyre walls. This would then harm the off road ability and modifications section? If a car stops with a smaller diameter disc isn't that a plus point for ability rather than needing a bigger one to produce the same results?Ha Ha!
We spent a couple of hours testing braking in controlled conditions but decided to ignore those results and just score vehicles on the size of their brake discs because everyone knows that systems with bigger discs should always work better!
...and just like that, the Grenadier went from the top performer to having the bottom score!
Spot on.Now please correct me if I'm a bit dim. Being a 4x4 test would bigger break discs not have meant bigger wheels and therefore smaller tyre walls.

I'm guessing a bigger disc may last longer under constant hard braking but then we aren't testing spots cars.
Please help, as stated, I am a bit dim
