These images just in, unfortunately the venerable Rotek Racing TTRS-R has suffered catastrophic engine failure in the early night hours while leading in SP4T . I’d seen the car pull off earlier in a cloud of smoke, but didn’t know why. I feel terrible for the whole team.

Nothing a bit of JB weld can’t patch up. sure you’ll be short of the cure time, but that’s just liability speak. It’ll be fine.
