Unfortunately not, had the S55 parts ready to go in but didn’t get them in before it happened

As soon as the video started I could immediately tell it was going to blow up. That's a compliment to your driving though, running it at the limit the whole time.

I threw the MMR oil pan baffle in mine before tracking the car, its a less costly alternative that seems to be working so far. I don't plan on running R compound tires so hopefully it's enough for my driving.

Man, we all wish we could drive like that!


Sorry about the motor, but great job!

Thanks man! Unfortunately that wasn't even close to the speed it was capable of going, those tyres that I was on at the time though was pretty close to it.

I'm sure you will be fine. I had no issues anywhere else I've taken it and only seems the extremes of this track was too much for it.
