Looks more like a sports car, and I see a part number with a serif font. I'm going to guess that it's some kind of GT Ferrari.

That, or Derek did some really unusual upgrading at WGI...

Don't feel bad - we all f..k up at some point.

Hope I'll be able to do the long haul to Mt Tremblant and hope you and Irene will be there. Heading off to VIR later in June for the Clubrace.
We will be at LCMT. See ya then.

Rotors don't look good and will be replaced. Those were some expensive laps I did.

Audi r10-12? I don't remember the brake rotor being that exposed though and the arms don't look whizzy enough either.
