Hate to have to do it, but seeing the guts of a Gibson powertrain is kinda neat tho.

I think I left class after a safety car and got home to the wrecked barrier safety car/ then slow zone.
Was it shortly after the other safety car was lifted that caused the next one?

Drive half a mile, find a “safe” spot to stop, reboot, and repeat till you find the pits

I want to know what gloves the Toyota mechanics use that allow them to grab the headers and turbo out of a race car that just came off the track. Those things have to be made of magic.

When Audi and Porshe did it, kevlar gloves were used. I don’t think they’d go full WRC and dump water on the turbos unless absolutely necessary.
