Bet that changed the colour of their underwear!! Lucky not to take out the other Noble as he turned into the corner! Did it do much damage?

The other guy could see he had an odd line and held back. Damage not that bad, a bit of fibreglass repair at the front.

Woo, a very expensive lawnmower.

Glad that everyone walked away and there was not too much damage. Hate to think what might have happened at other corners, tracks or on the road. :-(

The standing wheat did a superb job of stopping the car - much better than a gravel trap, maybe it should be a standard safety feature at all tracks.

did notice he went strait for the gears to engine brake as soon as he knew the brakes were gone. very calm and professional.

Also in the start of the video there's a bit of smoke from the rear wheels under braking guess its just locking an inside wheel, or is it a precursor to the brakes failing. how did they actually fail?
