I don't think it's related to anything on track. The announcers suggested it could be someone just getting rid of yard debris.

ByKolles already faster than at the test day. That is good, at least in this heat.

If you have access to the onboard feeds, the new 911's sounds great!

Did the #67 hit debris or something? The front's a bit taped up.

Are having braking issues though.
