After running a 1:48.2 I got into ice mode (apparently) going into T4. Foot hard on the brakes but it only gave me like 75% max braking and pedal was hard as a rock :O Went off and found the tire barrier with the front right corner, tires went flyin everywhere! I thought the front would be destroyed, but lo they use circle-track slicks for tire barrier for the motorcycles, they weigh like 8-10 lb. and are flimsy as hell! We 90% "fixed" it with that spray that cleans track rubber off, and looks like it'll be 98% fixed by peeling off and replacing the clear protective film he had put on the car. Whew!

Wow. That's gonna be one epic video!
I'd love to see a video with a data overlay showing brake driver input vs system pressure vs wheel speeds.
Glad both you and the car escaped relatively unscathed.
