I was at Practice day at Harewood Hillclimb in my Coupe last week but had a brake problem during the afternoon leading to a little excursion over the grass. It was captured by a photographer so you can see the level of axle articulation a Coupe has here - http://www.paddock42.com/2016/03/23/harewood-hillclimb-practice-day-2/

Fortunately nothing damaged, just a small hole in the brake pipe on the nearside rear radius arm. I didn't manage to make the corner I suspect because the pipe was starting to let go and it is probably the hardest braking I do into that corner. Having regained the track it was at the next braking point I discovered there was a real issue when the pedal went to the floor

I'll post a link to the in car video when I have uploaded it to YouTube.

All fixed now ready for the April 10th event.

Ooops, did you have to pay for a new "post"? On the 2nd pic it looks like a camera or something down near the number plate that not's visible on later shots, did you lose it? Car looks to be in great condition apart from the top/rear edge of the passenger door, looks odd?

They don't charge us for posts although whenever one gets damaged the treasurer points out that they are £17 each. The running joke is that they will put a scaffold pole behind one each event but not tell the competitors which one.
It was the timing strut which is attached to the number plate and I did lose it. The marshals on the post got it but I didn't stay until the end to retrieve it, hopefully will get it back next time. There is a great photo here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisjcbphotography/25377751353/in/album-72157665636079430/ showing it flying through the air when I rejoined the track.

The top of the passenger door was like that when I got the car 12 years and 163k miles ago, it doesn't leak or make any noise on the motorway so I've left it alone, it is the seal strip that doesn't fit correctly.

Just realised that picture shows I didn't damage the thwacker post too much. Just need to polish the mark off the car!

Nice one Andy
I am taking mine up Prescott in May (non competitive timed runs) and need to get my brakes attended to as the pedal went to the floor after a recent Brands hatch outing!

You shouldn't get any brake fade at a hillclimb, they don't get chance to get hot enough. In fact, the problem generally is that they don't get chance to get hot so don't work as well as is ideal. On this occasion it was a proper brake failure! Fortunately someone lent me a small mole wrench that I was able to put on the flexi to the radius arm to drive home.

Here is the in car video from the run - https://youtu.be/XRCYGl4HbIM

I must say, you handled that very well

And you seemed very composed After it happened

I'd have been cursing (louder anyway)!

Is that a little coupe model on your dash?! I've always wanted to get one to put there!

Your car makes an awesome noise, by the way...

Thanks, I was cursing pretty loudly in my head!

It is a model stuck to the dashboard with blu-tac - been there since very soon after I got the car. Can't remember what make it is but around 1:70 scale I think.

Standard exhaust on the car still, I have a stainless one to put on when needed but leaving this for now. Someone likened the noise from outside when I'm on track to Darth Vader!

"the Darth Vader of FIAT Coupes...!"
