'I didn't want to get to the hairpin and have the pad fall off and take my foot with it...' Nick Percat explains his unusual mechanical issue in Tasmania. RepcoSC
The Walkinshaw Andretti United driver was delayed in the third and final race of the Tasmania SuperSprint by the somewhat unusual mechanical issue.
That left him concerned that he would arrive at one of two very hard stops, turn 4 and turn 6, and lose both the pad and his foot pressure on the brake at the same time. "It's definitely a first I've ever experienced from karting, Formula Ford, working on race cars, anything," he told Motorsport.com. "I would have been better off if the pad fell off completely, but I couldn't get it to that point. I was trying to flick it off with my foot but having it wobbling around, with the thread left in it, was worse."It's frustrating, but we had the oldest tyres out there and when I look at the average laps we were the fifth fastest car, which was more annoying. We were definitely a top six position car.
