As long as the tub isn't damaged I wouldn't worry about the car for the race

Last year an R10 (maybe r8?) got upside down and was ready for Sebring.

Default If you're thinking what I think you are that was a big crash McNish had at Sebring in turn 1 in a

test that was after the 12 Hours, not before.

Default Correct, that was a test session after Sebring

At any rate, it sounds like they'll be able to get that car back up and running, hopefully they'll sort out any issues before then but expect it to have some challenges during the race tomorrow.

But as they say, anything can happen, especially in a 12 hour race!

Even if you pile the debris on the starting grid, they'll finish top 5 in LMP1 anyway. ;-)
