#96 BMW GTD car crashes as we go to commercial. Full course yellow. Not the BMW's fault—one of the prototypes clipped a Ferrari, who then hit the BMW. The #55 Mazda pits and promptly looses a tire. |

Garcia quote: "It probably went from one of my best races of my career to the most embarrassing moment of my career" Yep. The #4 car (and specifically Tommy Milner) should get a credit for the #3's championship. |
