So what happened during the second half of the Autobahn race on Sunday? I watched the first half but had to go back and get help a friend get ready for Thunder. While waiting on the grid, I see Noel coming in on a wrecker(broken ball joint) and I understand, from a comment posted on NASA forums, that some of you guys had some contact. What happened?

Im not sure what happend to Noel, he was in 2nd by a pretty good margin. The contact was between two other drivers in GTS2. One of which was already on probation.

I had so much fun running Jim's car in GTS2 that Im looking for a junkyard 2.8L or 3.0L to try to get into my car in time for VIR!

I had a lot of fun until Noel spun and broke. Same old story with the same guy. We've got one no driving sack of shit in GTS 2. Looks like he's been suspended now. Wonger you can keep yourself in GTS 3 thank you....

Some video from the Sunday race

That's my friend Trevor. He was really bummed. Glad he is ok though. Just his wallet hurt.

Noel had a ball joint pin failure while braking for T5. He hit the brakes to slow for the turn and, BANG! No steer mode. Pin broke in half at the machined relief for the bolt. He did a good job controlling the car to get it stopped.
