Sorry for the loss, and another thumbs up for sticking with it.
If his AF/Rs were lean causing very high EGT ( mixed with presumably extremely high engine load for long duration on the Nurburgring)it could lead to this result. I think the real issue is the extended high engine load in his case, superheating the cat material
