Which takes me back to the driver being the issue, which is backed up with the point that they noted brake fade issues in their later testing.

Either that, or something else happened which tossed the car off to the wall, other than just the brakes failing - entered too fast, catastrophic loss of traction, etc...

There's no reason that brakes would go from great to piss poor in the space of 1 turn.

Maybe the pads were already worn down and they just melted off the remaining brake material...
