It has carbon brakes, so fade isn’t a thing.

My assumption is a front abs sensor had failed. Logic being if the sensor doesn’t see the wheel turning it will bleed pressure away from that calliper. Glad to see Meylander ok after the shunt

[@VegetaWinning]

If an abs sensor fails the abs unit will disables itself so you still have full ability to brake just with the risk of locking up since there's no abs

[@elDriv3r]

Hi Martin, ich denke dass starkes Fading (also ein Sieden der Bremsflüssigkeit) im Vorderachs-Kreis eine mögliche Erklärung ist. Während der Gerade vor der Parabolica war das System relativ lange ohne Bremsdruck was das Sieden ermöglichte. Das würde auch erklären warum er hinten noch bremste aber vorne nicht. Wie auch schon geschrieben, ist es die Tage in der Gegend echt heiss, was sicherlich dazu beigetragen haben könnte. 🤔

[@chrisbackhouse5730]

The new corporate mantra, "quantity over quality"

[@RebeccaCampbell1969]

3:20 instead of controlling pressure differential between front and rear, which would be the best engineering option… adjusting rotor size and pads compound, larger and softer in front in that order If front is lacking pressure, one can adjust what the current pressure does instead of overhauling the whole system. Done that with my old Birel gokart chassis, and also my old Mazdaspeed 3… a “don’t rise the bridge, lower the river” approach to ever problem

[@cademckee7276]

This is a bad approach. Because now your brake bias is fixed and can’t be easily adjust or changed as you can do with just varying brake pressure. There is a reason almost every race car in the world has brake bias adjustment done with pressure rather than trying to get to the maximum of pads and rotors and caliper size. Not to mention a brake proportioning valve is often much cheaper than a whole new set of pads rotors and calipers

[@ivancamacho7668]

[@nigelkelley3004]

It looked to me like he tried to induce a drift but was going way too fast. The rear brakes were glowing but the fronts weren’t visible so it was an assumption they weren’t working. The rear brakes were working and the brakes lights were on but once spinning they were released as demonstrated by the wheels rotating.

[@feisaljauharitufail]

Imagine stroll driving this.

[@philsreef746]

Rumour has it he was.

[@Krmpfpks]

I remember Mayländer drove a safety car over a manhole cover during a DTM race, causing him to get airborne (a little). Or maybe he caused it to lift up and a car behind him drove over it? Don’t remember, definitely not his fault, but I would still count it as a crash. After that they did weld them shut for every race. He is a super nice guy though, met him once while I had no clue who he was. We were eating at the same table and he shared stories of his horrible flight to the race track.

[@neilgordon8145]

Safety car used to be a Jag driven by Silverstone Syd at the British GPs. Good Old Days.

[@timwhiskerd2133]

I would be very surprised if the fault was the Bosch ABS unit. They are fitted to millions of road vehicles without problems.

[@muratti72muc]

Of course, this could be one of many possibilities that the Bosch ABS was broken. However, it is usually not the individual parts that are faulty, but rather the interaction of the many individual parts. It is often enough that, for example, a hose is 1mm too thin or thick between two individual parts. Aston Martin buys almost all of the individual parts from other manufacturers. Now you just have to look at what wrong items you have installed. Everything has to be coordinated correctly and with new car models you often have small errors.

[@Kpaxlol]

Why isn't the safety car just a racing car? Like a gt4 or gt3 with more interior stuff.

[@muratti72muc]

because the cars are used for advertising purposes. You can buy them almost exactly as they are used here as a safety car. Both Aston Martin and Mercedes AMG also have these cars as GT3 and GT4 racing cars, but the racing cars are no longer permitted for road traffic.

[@Toro_Da_Corsa]

Brake fluid heating. It was a hot day. The car was doing laps and the fluid just got too hot. Track days with that much heat plus the heavily upgraded engine probably wasn't fully tested for this.

[@Boomer850]

I’m am pretty sure they have high temp brake fluid. And typically if brake fuild does overheat or go past its designed temperature, it results in more pedal effort, with fade across all wheels not a sudden failure of one wheel.

[@josemorenoporras7506]

If you do not bleed the brakes properly you can get air in the worst moment and come to the wall like this car did. I bet they got pedal to the floor suddenly and only rear brakes,that´s why they did not stop in time.

[@Albertros-db5sg]

@@josemorenoporras7506If the Pedal is on the floor, you dont have enough power to make the braves glow. Because of the brake Distribution if there is no other problem the front brakes would get more power and glow not the rear ones. So it seems the front brakes stopped working completly and suddenly.

[@NikoKyunKyun]

and the added weight from being a safety car

[@fabianrudzewski9027]

​​@@Boomer850 Fade isnt really a consequence of overheated Fluid. Fade normally refers to hot pads and discs reducing their coefficient of friction, so you need more brakepressure to achieve the same deceleration. That's a slow and gradual process over multiple brake zones, giving you plenty time to dial back the speed. The fluid is mostly completely fine at that point. Fluid overheating causes boiling and the Pedal falls to the Floor the next time you touch it. That's a sudden and total loss of brake power right when you need it the most: at the start of the braking zone.

[@CDeuce152]

ABS failure is what happened in my accident, so it reverted to non-ABS/conventional brakes.

[@karenclemens3985]

Added tech on dash covering parking brake warning light!

[@Eden-NoEye]

I like that they have 2 spare safety cars.

[@broughxtreme]

If the rear brakes were THAT HOT, imagine how hot the front ones were. Bet it was just a case of boiling brake fluid in the front brakes. To those who don't know much about brakes, once a fluid (like water even) boils it instantly turns to a gas.....tyre barrier.

[@fabianrudzewski9027]

With carbon ceramic brakes, glowing is normal. They are meant to do so. On some cars, the front rotors light up almost like a halogen bulb.

[@fastone371]

@@fabianrudzewski9027 Same with cast iron rotors. An oval track near us runs asphalt Super Late Models with brake restriction rules, they use 4 piston calipers with cast rotors, their rotors are always orange, lap after lap and boiling brake fluid is typically not a problem with DOT 4 fluid.

[@BrianMorrison]

Boiling brake fluid is relatively rare these days, it is usually caused by water being absorbed from the atmosphere, the fluid is hygroscopic.

[@broughxtreme]

@@fabianrudzewski9027 Point taken, but all that heat still has to go somewere.

Further to my first comment. As he travelled down the straight towards the next corner the heat generated from his previous heavy braking event was still disipating into the fluid (the fluid started to boil while he was on the straight). Get to the next corner, nothing there.................tyre barrier. Great driving to toss it into the corner.

[@phildem414]

Maybe the rear brakes were lightly activated continuously, leading to overheating and loss of braking power, shifting the brake balance to the front as a consequence.

[@RichardMcLaren]

Brake balance is front bias on everything, always

[@Javadamutt]

The problem both safety cars have is cornering ability. They lack grip even conpared to a low speed F1 car meaning breaking, turning and accerating is pretty much requiring a driver to be pushing to the limit just to keep a decent pace. A lot of the complaints havent veen so much about top speed or acceleration but just how much slower the aston was compared to the mercades in the corners.

[@NBSV1]

What’s the point of a safety car if it’s going to be running laps at full pace? The speed of the safety car is supposed to be slow to provide safety. Funny how that works. Race car drivers are going to whine and cry no matter what. If left to them there’d be no safety cars and they’d just run the race flat out the whole time.

[@Javadamutt]

@@NBSV1 It was seen during Bianchi's crash that in order for the tyres, brakes and aero to work, the cars need to generate enough speed. To keep heat in the tyres and brakes they need to speed up and slow down. They also need to be going fast enough to get air into the engine and over the radiators. Ironically the juxtaposition is that an F1 car operates better at speed and operates properly. Tyres are the biggest issue, too cold they don't grip, too slow they can't generate heat or remove water from the track. Yes it feels stupid having a car near it's limit to buy time to allow people onto the track to solve the issue and in the dry it's fine. In the wet tho it is more of a problem. Could the safety car set much faster laps, absolutely. It could use more of the track possibly still brake harder and accelerate harder but it is limited by the tyres and still driving "safely" within itself. However that isn't a Sunday drive, it is still pushing quite hard for what the safety car is capable of

[@NBSV1]

@@Javadamutt Are the conditions behind the safety car not the same for everyone? It isn’t like they singled out a driver and made him not warm his tires properly while the others got hot tires. The safety car is there to slow the field down. Granted the safety car at its limit is way slower than an F1 car can go. That also doesn’t mean it’s a reasonably safe speed for the track workers or whatever conditions brought out the safety car. These are supposed to be the best drivers in the world. A slow safety car isn’t anything new. They should be able to deal with it.

[@Javadamutt]

@@NBSV1 Not sure what point you are trying to make here. Always has been the case that the drivers "have to deal with it". I never argued otherwise. I also never said they singled out a driver either. All I pointed out was the mechanics of the situation that a safety car is driving pretty much at max to keep pace while the drivers behind are struggling with it and in some cases the slow speed does create more danger due to how F1 cars and importantly tyres work. I assume you are the type of person who argues that "they know the risks" when it comes to any safety improvements? Surely by your logic they're the best drivers in the world a safety car shouldn't be needed as they wouldn't crash in the first place? Saying they're the best drivers in the world is logical fallacy, at the end of the day they're still bound by the laws of physics and what they're allowed to do behind the safety car.

[@NBSV1]

@@Javadamutt The point is the safety car is going to be slow for safety reasons. Doesn’t matter that the drivers are going to complain since they’ll do that anyway. Also doesn’t matter how fast the safety car is all out since it isn’t running laps all out. Having it go fast enough to keep F1 tires up to temp would basically mean them running a race pace. Which doesn’t exactly make it safe for workers to be out there. The best drivers should be able to work with the conditions. Which is why trying to blame someone’s crash on a slow safety car is silly. Everybody had the same cold tires and not everybody wrecked.

[@tbolt5883]

[@PVPaco]

As professional driver I want to share my opinion: We are familiar with the career of Bernd Mayländer, perhaps one of the most experienced drivers in the world-not necessarily the fastest, but his experience is undeniable. We all know that sometimes he likes to play with the car and even performs drifts on occasion, but this time it's different. I took the time to review several of his drifts, and it's clear that he never initiates them with the famous Scandinavian flick (commonly used in rallying to unsettle the car and start a drift). Since he drives a rear-wheel-drive car with a lot of power (either the AMG or the ASTON engine), he usually initiates a drift by accelerating a bit more aggressively than normal during a turn to lose control of the car in a controlled way. That's how he performs drifts, but never with the Scandinavian flick, which is mainly used in all-wheel-drive vehicles. So, what happened? Clearly, the car comes at high speed after the straight, but there is no noticeable reduction in speed or even a dip of the car's front end, which is common when braking before a turn. In the last instant, you can clearly see him deciding to use an unorthodox braking method-drifting the car. That's why we see a slight left turn to then unsettle the car by whipping the rear end and starting a drift (using a Scandinavian flick, never before used by him in rear-wheel-drive vehicles). Unfortunately, the high speed didn't allow him to make it through the turn, and the vehicle began to lose the rear axle, initiating a total loss of control as the car rotated in an uncontrollable oversteer. At this point, any professional driver, especially one with his experience, would apply full brakes to try to reduce speed as much as possible and minimize the imminent damage. This can be confirmed by watching the rear of his car in the video and clearly seeing the brake lights on. But at that same moment, you can see the tires rotating and not receiving the braking pressure that would limit their rotation. This would be especially noticeable on gravel, as even with low braking pressure, the car would have locked the tires while sliding over the gravel. Thanks to the car's safety features and the TechPro barriers, the driver and his passenger escaped with almost no injuries. Now we just have to wait for the car's investigation to find out what happened-if Aston Martin doesn't interfere to prevent any admission of a potential failure in their car.

Hi Martin, I would have thought that the ABS valves are inside the machined aluminium casing (but this is probably what you meant?). Could we have a B Sport video with relation symmetric braking (which I personally think should be allowed). Last weekend at Silverstone Festival, the "Safety Car" for the historic racing (an RML SWB 250 GT "replicamod") also embarrassingly spun and crashed in the wet...The blame was also placed on "brake balance". This was another case of a modern car being shown off. In this case it was struggling in front of a field of Formula Juniors (ie 100 to 1100 cc .formula cars on skinny tyres from 1959-1963 - none of which "fell off" despite the puddles! I did not see the incident but this type of incident does not seem that unusual. Safety Cars in Historic Racing are invariably driven at ridiculously slow speeds causing cars to bunch up causing accidents, some of which can be rather nasty (Cf; Spa 6 Hour race 2006 on the Kemmel straight just after the Raidillon).

[@mikezappa]

will the road version of this car have a recall?

[@nicolashuffman4312]

As complexity approaches infinity, mean time before failure approaches zero. Perhaps auto manufacturers should simplify their cars. Sure you can do some amazing things with the gizmos, but how many cars turn to garbage at 80,000 miles because their fancy electronics start failing? Some manufacturers were known to make cars that were happy to go 300k miles, but their new ones are toast at 100k.

[@howarddavies136]

I reckon jt was a failure rhat prevented the system being pressuries by the brake pedal and he was able to use the parking brake to engage the rears. An electronic parking brake will also act as an emergancy brake if pulled whilst moving and depending on the laayout in the Aston, it could have still engaged the rears even in the event of a larger failure.

[@twu1915]

You think activation of the parking brake would result in glowing discs? I think it would just prevent the rear wheels from spinning immediately without glowing discs. Plus, I think the car would have spinned much faster than it did.

[@howarddavies136]

@twu1915 the parking brake could lock the wheels, so why would it not have enough clamping force to make the discs glow?

[@howarddavies136]

Also, the e brake is designed to not lock the wheels as far as I'm aware. It's not like an old cable brake.

@@SVPSkinswe all do, but there are pro drivers who prefer to disable abs as they would like full control of their car

Not having ABS in a GT style car is an exception, not the norm. Race grade ABS and TC are significantly more capable than we humans are, making the cars more stable and drivable, not just for AM drivers (who often pay for their seats and are less experienced) but also PRO drivers. Crashing a race car is expensive and you don't want any of your drivers to have a moment 5 hours into a 6 hour endurance race that could've easily been avoided by having ABS or TC. There's often the misconception that using driving aids requires less skill, but I can ensure you that driving a GT style car with ABS and TC quickly and consistently is not an easy feat even for the most skilled drivers out there.

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

@@SVPSkins Yes I am aware, but a brake failure is a brake failure, it was the skill of the driver that saved the car and himself from serious damage.

From what I can find online they do not have adjustable brake bias because the braking system is still based on the road car bosch abs module.

Aston Martin is a piece of S....

If I was Bernd, I would specify my safety car to not have ABS in future.

[@RebeccaCampbell1969]

ABS is a crutch, a handicap only… better tire friction (compound) and brake pads would actually be better for the driver. The SC is not under any limiting rules like a race car is, as such the option would make the car faster than ABS with subpar systems, and quite better for a good “pedal pressure control” driver

[@RebeccaCampbell1969]

Question: any of you have driven in a race car at the track, or a good shifter gokart… or at least gone to a “track day”? The next question… any requirements from ABS needed at dry weather? When I was younger and raced every time my car slipped under braking, turning (under steer) or accelerating… it meant I made a mistake, even the ABS on my stage 3+ MS3 meant my lap was slower… and I hated it

all GT3 race cars have ABS

[@cademckee7276]

@@RebeccaCampbell1969How old was that ABS? Modern racing ABS is much much better than road ABS and better than any race car driver. Hence why you often used to see GT3 cars out brake GTE cars
