Default Carnage from VIR - YIKES!!!
Hopefully this was not one of you guys. Apparently a Mustang took out the GT3 and a CGT. YIKES!!!

Wow. Right rear quarter view would probably show more structural damamge. Wonder where it happened? VIR has tons of run-off, and I have difficulty thinking where it could have happened.

It came from the BMW crowd. Not many other details around. I was hoping to find out more myself.
