The 77th car had still failed to accelerate well, when the rear brakes on R. Čapkauskas’ car locked and the car lunged to the right.

The car hung the fences, the front elements of its moldings were damaged. One of the components of the car’s cooling system is said to have also punctured and spilled coolant.

What happened is still unclear, it is speculated that only one wheel brake pads were replaced.

Around the same time, the GS 66 Motorsport 66 car caught fire in the technical area. As a result, the time for the virtual safety car on the track was announced, so R. Čapkauskas, lagging behind the leaders by 7 wheels, returned to the technical area, where urgent repair work began.

Such failure has allowed the Noker Racing team to advance with a TCR car with a two-liter engine. They are 10 laps behind the leaders.

Not only R. Čapkauskas was lucky, but also his son Titus. This race car with DHL Racing Team will not finish the race as the engine of the team’s TCR car has been irreparably damaged.
