How did race cars stop before disc brakes were available?

A better thought is: since disc brakes were made legal 5 years ago, how many teams remained on rim brakes? the answer is almost none.

And this doesn't get into things that matter for normal riding like the fact your rims don't need replacing from wear, they aren't impacted by wet weather, the better modulation, etc.
