Many tracks now use "stage -lock" because it prevents this from happening. We have never had it happen at a track with "stage-lock". I'd be willing to bet that Bandimere doesn't have it.

I don't really think it is a computer malfunction.
I don`t think a footbrake car on the 2 Step could roll back. A transbrake car could.
