In the end, it's global and we need lots of carbon as opposed to stamped sheetmetal parts that cost 90% less.

Yeah Tristan for sure will be making some money on spares. I felt pretty bad for the RS Werkes guys; tensions were running pretty high there after the race, and from what I heard Audi didn't have any spares on hand for the suspension. (the RS Werkes car had a broken right rear camber arm and broken right front strut, among other things)
All three GMG R8s got tagged in one way, shape or form. The 50 I think fared the best with a damaged diffuser and bent right rear.
The TCR GTi had a broken front splitter, bent core support and some other stuff slightly re-arranged up front. Lots of other cars had paint marks, tire rubs and other contact marks.
It was great to see Justin and the RS1 guys get a win straight out of the gate. I've been acquainted with him for quite a long time and it's good to see him do well.
