Happened to me this past weekend at an autocross. Scary stuff. Basically happened because of boiling brake fluid. Gonna have to get some better stuff since I plan on doing alot of racing this year.

You not gonna find "better" stuff DOT 3/4 are your options, you just need to flush the system more frequently.
