Sounds like driver error to me.

You've obviously never been on a track. You don't brake gently and easily heading into the turns. Well, you do if you want to be slow, but if you're going for the fastest time (which is what the Lightning Lap is about), you're going to be driving the car as hard as possible and that means heavy braking.
My S2000 could easily boil the stock brake fluid after multiple laps on a racetrack that was heavy on the brakes. It's not at all uncommon. It is uncommon to have it happen so quickly and catastrophically.
They performed the same type of driving on all the other cars and they didn't break or fail this way. If it was all driver error, why didn't it happen in the other cars?
