link to anything verifying the fact that the abuse was out of the ordinary? Every car at lightning lap had been an abused press car...


Their post-mortem (as always, to be taken with a grain of salt) seems to fall in line with the widespread opinion that it is an airflow issue.


They were able to melt the pads on another Z, which doesn't lend much credence to the "it was abused" theory.
