Clutch malfunctioning.

Got a weird one. I've had this happen a few times but very rarely.

I go to park in the carpark at home. I'm in 1st gear and gently brake whilst grabbing the clutch for reverse.

The clutch pedal suddenly loses pressure and car gets stuck in gear. I usually have to quickly kill the ignition to stop the car moving. Then pressing the clutch pedal again it will be fine and back to normal operation.

I'm guessing a cylinder is starting to fail?

Likely to survive a trackday?
 
That's a negatory on the Trackday. Trackdays will expose any weakness that driving to Tesco's will mask. It is likely to fail on track with one of very many possible outcomes, some of which may be quite emotional. At best, it will leave you with a problem of how to get home with no clutch.
