Default Brake Failure is a B3Y0TC4
A co-worker's car lost brakes going into 14. . . hellacious to watch from the interior.

. . . and you'll notice on the walk-through exactly HOW fast he was going (note the wall. . . or lack thereof).

I think he was referring to that he was ok. Although considering he was ok, and having a sense of humor about it, it probably was a spectacular crash.

It's amazing that he was ok

That wall wasn't there a few years ago. The same thing happened about 2 years ago with another race car and it t-boned another race car coming out of turn 7.

I am glad that the driver walked away unscathed.
From the looks of it he definitely hit hard...

I wonder what happened to his brakes?
It would be nice to know.

If you watch my old thill video, exactly same thing happened on Brian Lock's Legacy, same turn, right in front of me, but he saved it, very quick corrections and went back to turn 9.
