Overtaking During A Massive Brake Lock Up Takes Serious Balls

The recent Gold Coast 600 round of the Australian Supercars series featured one of the most stunning overtakes we've seen this year

Speaking about his audacious overtake on Mark Winterbottom following the race (below), Scott McLaughlin attributed the lock-up to his competitor moving slightly in the braking zone. He held it together though, just keeping it out of the wall and snatching third place from Winterbottom.

You did it only in Forza? I’m driving like this in every game that got cars in it.

This is why McLaughlin is my favourite driver in the whole series. Its going to be sad to see him not in the iconic volvo at the end of the year

Am I not mistaken to believe that he will be moving to DJR Motorsports? (He’s my favourite driver too)

Proof that good drivers don’t need ABS. Well done! I think his balls of steel made the car unbalanced and caused the lockup.
