Default What happened in final Sebring Enduro? The Cupcars?

I had to leave and did not see, but a lot of folks dnf'd and see lots of wrecked cars from folks I know. Was there a big wreck? Bad track conditions?

had a few casulties in the first lap.... Spins and contact between turns 3 and 6.

about half way through a 997 cup caught fire and parked on the back straight.
That red flag allowed for only 2 laps after pit in once the track went green.

we were loading up on that side and saw the car on fire and many cars stopped for the red flag on back straight ...then one cup just took off (under red) and came back to the paddock while the rest of the field stayed put. was surprising.

So I guess that was the other issue I heard on DQs for no pit stops since sounds like not enough time if folks didnt pit before the Red.

I heard someone say there were fists flying in the middle of T17 post some sort of contact?

Shame that old Supercup car went up in flames.

That's what I was told by one of the people directly involved in the event...I don't know anything else, but to answer your question; based on all the normal/expected contact at this event....it could have been. ;-)

So, what's the matter with the cup group?
This is amateur racing! No price involved.

We never hear stuff like that in the sp, stock and gtb class.

Showing fist, come on
