"Broken throttle body" is the official reason for DW's early troubles. No doubt a victim of Sebring's notorious vibro-massage concrete. Just goes to show that you can't prepare a car on Road Atlanta tarmac and expect it to survive on the Florida washboard.

It's the new AMR-Done. Into the pits with a shagged motor after just a hand full of laps. What a waste of a grid slot.

Yes, spent an hour and a half in the pits then went back out and immediately caught fire and stopped on circuit causing a full course yellow. Now officially retired after covering only 10 racing laps. I think it self-ignited due to acute embarrassment.

Chester's very own Andy Meyrick was at the wheel. Andy has not had that much luck in LM spec machinery with his disastrous run in the Aston.

Fire happened right in front of us. Back to the drawing boards. Pretty fragile piece of machinery. We had bets on the over/under for laps complete at 20...wow, we're we wrong! Unless you count qualifying and pace laps of course!

Yes, *such* an improvement on the Nissan DW project from last year, even a shiny paint job can't hide that this is a turkey ......
