Probably doing about 100mph,5 up filming John in a mk.2 escort mexico, so taking our time staying behind him.

Heading down a straight coming to a hairpin bend and as i presed the pedal....no brakes!!!!!!!!!

Car ended up sideways going across the track,over the grass section,across the track again and coming to a stop on a bit of loose gravel.

Got out and bits of disc and caliper were behind the car smoking.

Really lucky we were on the gp circut,if it had happened on the ring bit.....


Pail of vice grips clamping the rear brake hose got me home though.
