Not 100% sure, there were mutterings of a brake failure, but looked like he was just getting a bit excited, went up the inside and hit a puddle while hard on the brakes and as described above he just spun it, losing the OSF wheel as he spun through the gravel and smacked the Scoob.
Scoob driver was indeed a bit upset and was booting the windows etc on the Sierra.
Sierra in action before
Seconds after, I was taking a shot of the S1 in front of the scoob and just missed the impact.
Holty in action
The Sierra that overcooked it leaving the hairppin

At the end of the day it was driver error and not the brakes failing

Hockney..... did you press the brake pedal??? If not the how can you say the brakes didn't fail?? My mate Andy was driving and he is not a liar!
It was obvoius that this would happen on the forum... people giving their own opinion on the situation.

I own the car and i can assure you the brakes did not fail. andy had realed in the cosworth for two laps and was trying harder each lap and tried to outbrake the other car at the hairpin when he hit the puddle on the right hand side of the track ,the car then aqua plaine and from there on in he had no control of what happened. a bit unfortunate considering it was just a shake down of the car since we just finished it on saturday and i had not even driven it yet but thats life . The car will be repaired and back in no time

Not getting at you m8, but the driver of the sierra should feel ashamed as to his actions heading into that corner and I do hope he is paying for all the damage caused to the scoob.
