That is all the info I got over the phone with the service advisor, will know more once I see the papers.

I was scratching my head on that overrev too...car never saw above 111mph on the day it happened.

Engine blew 2 laps after this. I did hear some weird sound on that last turn...not sure if its mine or car in front.

I feel a bit bummed out and disappointed. I've been an instructor for the region's Porsche, BMW and various other clubs, I have pretty much been a ambassador for the 86 platform for the pass 7 years at the HPDEs.
