I would like to know what caused the brakes to lock up. Anti lock brakes should not react in that way. Either a brake system failure or the car was running with anti lock brakes deactivated for testing the car on the track. If you noticed they had an engineer in the car with his laptop computer.

It's a relatively slow speed section of the track. If you keep watching that two second portion where it slides, you can see the rears lock up and swing the ass end to the left. Then the fronts lock up after the car starts it swing.

It looks like they were testing brake bias and something went bad.
