BMW M Team RLL Amazing Comeback
Historic accomplishment by Team RLL to come back after an accident in Saturday mornings practice causing damage to the tub. A spare chassis is shipped Saturday 3PM from their Indianapolis shop, 10 hours and 600 miles away. The crew gets rest readying for the work of swapping necessary components/powertrain from damaged tub to the spare. I happened to record these images as their work is completed, the hybrid system/engine is fired up and the driver pulls away for a start from pit lane. While this is going on, the field is already out on their pace lap. You can see in the final images the crew members sprinting to take up position in their pit stall which had to be 300 to 400 yards away. What's even more amazing is they ultimately finished position 6 and on the same lap count as 1st place. TEAM WORK.
