loss of power help

Hi Guys,
Simon here from Dublin, Ireland.
I have a mx3 1.8 ( there could be possibly different engine in it but not confirmed)
I have her as a track car and was out today and there is a pretty big problem
Problem is, I am coming down the straight, about 60/70 in 5th, heading for a hair pin turn, brake,change down to 2nd, turn in and when I put the foot back on the pedal, the power totally goes from the engine, after a second or two the engine seems to kick back into life.
I have used the search button and looked through the manual so could be one of many things? Any ideas? Heat temp sensor? Possibly over fueling?
I have a 4 inch straight through from the cat and the air cone filter replacing the orginal boxes.
Need to get this sorted quick
Thanks in advance
