Gutted!
Can't drive! what a load of twoddle  I bet he can drive better than 95% of people on this site. These are no standard or mildly modded EVO's he drives. 900bhp in an evo that weighs just over a tonne is never going to be easy to drive  (The green one im refering to) Fair play to him for using his cars to the max... even if he does go over the limit sometimes. lol
Can't wait to see his latest "Ballastic Bogey" build

Not saying he cant drive before anyone comments but i argee with earlier comments. If his fluid had boiled, you would start to notice difference in breaking performance, then it would get worse and worse and then surely fail...
Would it not??

That's the Evo 6 he crashed. It's not the green one, though.
Very effective anti-overtaking device fitted to that Saxo/106.

All track variants are secretly fitted with retro-active, inverted gravity shielding and an impact suppressing forcefield generator.
The Evo didn't stand a chance.

its got nothing to do with he can drive or not - its just down to statistics.
How amny races and how many cars of his own and more importantly OTHER people has he destroyed. He may be a better driver than everyone on here put together but he obviously isnt that good if he keeps crashing - OR his cars can not with stand the stresses of track racing.
I feel for the people he has involved, although they know the risk if I was in a field with him I would stay well clear purely based on past experiance!

Not really. When the fluid gets to that magic temp it boils. Foot straight to the floor. Fuck.

Adam, I completely understand that brakes can fail unexpectedly, but usually from a line failure, damaged master cylinder etc.
I have never heard of brakes feeling normal and fine on one corner, and there being nothing there at all at the next, thats my point.
ive had brake fluid boil before, one corner the pedal is there, the next its gone. Thats how it happens, it doesnt always gradually get worse, especially when your at 100% maximum attack.

WHAT??? As far as im aware he's smashed up 2 cars racing... One was driver error (which he openly admitted to) and this one which was mechanical failure

Its motor racing!!! Accidents happen. As AK said, everyones aware of the risks involved. People crash all the time in racing, its only because he's higher profile tha most (being well known in the modded car scene) that he gets this much attention.
