From Crash to Rebuild in under 24 Hours

[RSO 34]

Scott Sharp had a very scary crash destroying the Patron Highcroft Acura during practice for the Petit LeMans. However, in under 24 hours his team managed to rebuild a 4000 part car in order to make the starting grid.

Below are the videos of the crash and the time lapse showing the rebuild.

I think the term "rebuilt" is a stretch.

Looks like they just built a new one from scratch. Still a very cool video!

I saw the time-lapse segment on Speed. It's pretty cool.

Thanks for posting it, I'm gonna save it to my library.
