This "panic brake" was operated by the codriver. No brakes - pull the string and you have what we call it in Sweden "motorbroms" I don´t know the word in english but translated directly "enginebrake".
I used it once during my 14 years competing in rallies. The right hand disc broke and the brakes were gone. On the last stage of the rally. We managed to finish the stage but we also had a 30 kilometer transport to the finish but we did it.
Sorry to destroy the subject but sometimes I got nostalgic....
