Repairing the engine is not a great deal.
Hopefully only the seals have gone, but if they're damaged the housings can be sourced and reworked as necessary.
But having seriously overspent this year I'm not doing any more.
But the thought of 6 months off is a bit daunting.
The moment through Eau Rouge was quite something and as Peter noted I think I was very lucky!
I went in quite fast, with a lift at the bottom of the pit straight hill, turn in left and brake, then turn right and up the hill. I didn't turn in hard enough and was swinging wide. I eased off, a mistake, and it slipped out of gear.
Going through Eau Rouge at 100mph in neutral while understeering off is to be recommended!
Even though it destroyed the engine, 3rd gear brought the car back under control.
