Bibilical Brake Failure Guy at Spa
I found this while mooching around on YouTube. I think this is the guy who had the "bibilical brake failure". Sorry if this is a repost.
You can see he did this with a headlamp error!

He was certainly beating the piss out of it in all the right ways. However, he really does seem to enjoy the curbs, haha.

The thread he is referring to is an old one (link below) where Junior Strauss (pro driver, user name JuniorM3 around here) torched his brakes at Spa. The video above is one he posted last year I think that wasn't to show a failure but a good lap of Spa in an E92 M3.

I think he was just expecting more out of an M. The Porsches won't melt like that stock, the M3 is the worst stock brakes on a car at that price/performance point IMO.
That said, I love my M3 minus the brakes and the PFC pads do help quite a bit. Stock pads are pretty pathetic though, they literally crumble. No such crumbling on my Cayman S or other Porsches I've driven. And if you want to say well that car was 800 pounds lighter, the stock GT-R brakes are better too and it is heavier. And it's hard to understand the difference in how hard an advanced/instructor pushes it versus a real pro until you ride with one. Strauss drives indycars after all. |

DCT is an advantage. But that lap time is not due to DCT...

I've yet to see anyone put the DCT through that much hard driving. I have to agree, I think he could have done nearly as well with a manual simply due to his level of ability and upgraded breaks.

Under the front bumper, I'm sure.
I mount my GoPro there (to the bottom of front license plate, actually), and that location along with use of GoPro's skeletal housing picks up the sound like that.

Here is the discussion of where he mounted it from the original thread in the show off forum:

Even GTR owners complain about the brakes (especially pre-2012 owners). Regarding "junior", he was a bit foolish to bring the car in with glowing hot brakes; that is what did all the burned damage. |

My point is that most street cars, even sports/performance cars, have weak brakes for heavy duty track driving, and junior should have know that. The biblical failure was his over driving the car.

Check out where the alfa on point 4:35 on the video. Fast but reckless. Outside passing to the extreme. Try that on other tracks and gravel/dirt might not agree with his move
