Code Brown at Sebring
The yellow and blue #8 Camber race car spun under braking into Turn 10 at Sebring Friday during the PBOC Super Solo session and left a streak of fluid through the apex at Turn 9, resulting in a 120 MPH Code Brown. [**Correction: A 997 GT3 dropped coolant between T7 & T10 and the Camber car was collateral damage.]
VIDEO
Other spins followed, and it took the track nearly five minutes to throw the black flag.

Not only did you save yourself, but the car behind you had to move offline and avoided the slick. Someone owes you a beer.

for the record, the Camber car was collateral damage. There was a 997 GT3 that dropped coolant between T7 & T10.
