So I know I will be blasted by some people but this is the reason this car ran such a garbage lap.
Yea, pretty sure they ran into a couple of the well known track day issues the 370 is known for. Overheating and brake fade, which resulted in them wrecking the car and not being able to record as many decent laps.
