Thanks.
I looked at his thread and it doesn't look like he's torn it down yet to inspect but there's 2 things that allow me to speculate...

1: No prior experience - possible driver error but I think this is unlikely.

2: It's a 2013 and he mentions a "tick tick tick" on the cool down lap before it lets go. Possible that it was a valve spring failure.


I would be interested to see what the culprit was.
