It might have been fixable for the race but I hadn't gotten a single lap in and with 1 DNF and 3 incidents in 4 sessions I decided enough was enough and went home. Happy to say the next Laguna race went much better for me--P3 overall on Saturday starting from P7; P4 on Sunday starting from P6; P2 in class both days. Most importantly I kept the new paint job and bodywork pristine--no incidents, spins or incidents more serious than a brief drive through the dirt on one occasion, through the test day and the whole weekend. I wish you had had better luck!
