I talked with him for 10-15 mins after he settled down.
this is nasa pro racing, not a track day.

I understand that its pro racing. Was the car sorted and had he done any testing whatsoever in the car before this event? Or was it the first outing all together?

I don't care how much experience the guy may have racing Nasa, it just seems pretty silly to compete in a fresh car you've barely driven.

Regardless, live and learn, I'm sure he can afford it.
