Much more to that story, but for another day. One of our members on here worked on that project.

Why the secrecy?

I recall that when Golf's were first raced with ABS unpredictable brake failure caused them no end if trouble and they never got to the bottom of it and just gave up racing them. I forget who was racing them but it was a well financed gig and aknown driver and they only stopped because of the brake issues.

We’ve disabled ESP and ABS altogether on our car, you have to otherwise the ESP hobbles it speed wise.

We narrowed the issue down to a combination of factors so it won’t be happening again.

Been there and done that so to speak, it is not much good when headed downhill to the fish hook flat in fourth and hoping the brakes will work. The one saving grace about WP is there is not much to hit. I hope all goes well with the next car and you have some real race success as it can be really disheartening when stuff like this happens.
