Ouch... Thanks for posting the video though. I heard about this and immediately asked to see to see the video knowing you have a camera. I was promptly told (by two different people) that the video would never see the light day, let alone the internet 
Props for posting. Nobody was hurt and the damage not too severe. Not to mention aspiring wanna be's like myself can learn a thing or two front watching vids like this. Thanks again for putting it up.

If there's a silver lining in all this, you're now part of an elite group of people that can say they torpedoed a Ferrari

Rep Power: 209 well the only silver lining other than the gut wrenching shame of it all is that I can replace my TT uprights with Cup car ones. they are lighter because no front wheel drive and better they have better attachment points and improve the front end geometry.
also had to replace the front steering rack, also Cup car lighter, faster.
car will be race ready in two weeks
I will be in therapy till then. I appreciate all the input from the forum. Wasnt sure how posting something like this would go, but thought someone may have gotten something out of it.

I know a guy who, after the checker, was torpedoed by another driver and has his car REALLY screwed up. The other driver didn't show half the class that you did and had to be shamed into accepting responsibility. This was nowhere near as clear cut and you've done the stand up thing. Of course we're supportive!
