For those not watching, #70 just had right rear explode, body work damage increasing. Limping back to pits.

From #5th in class.

Full course yellow just flying though.

Not as bad as a flat 6 blowin... still lotsa time to repair the body, the Porsches will eventually burn up. The M3 will burn too.
