Possibly. That was just dumb, risking so much for (at best) getting past one of the Toyotas for half a lap. Especially since Rebellion's strategy is all based on keeping the car on track and hoping for Toyota to stumble.

I'd be surprised if it was, everyone has a blunder sometimes.

It was bad though, and it was his most high-profile mistake for sure.

Edit - Looks like the nose was broken before the braking zone. Still not wise to be harassing the Toyotas so soon.

That was really, really stupid by Lotterer. Remember boy, you are not in an Audi made of concrete!

I think they've added more downforce for the race. Fred Mako said they ran really low downforce in Qualifying for straight line speed.

It does on the left front and looked to be coming apart some too as some pieces were coming off.

I don't see it reported anywhere, but the #37 Jack Chan Oreca and the #5 Ginetta hit each other? They both slowed down at the same time and were running near each other on track. And there was a short yellow flag too.
