Burn a motorsport race car round a track. Why it matters to the military

This is the moment we took a high-speed spin in a Ginetta G55 race car to find out how the military are turning to the motorsport industry in an effort to solve a very particular mechanical problem - brakes that overheat when on patrol.

Some military vehicles are now carrying over 50% more weight than they were originally designed for.

Footage shows how motorsport racing drivers at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground need power and good brakes that can take the heat.

The world of motorsport and military vehicles may seem pretty far apart, but actually motorsport might have the key to increased military capability.
