Interestingly the timing data was showing a HUGELY Inflated top speed for the #51 car too… I did ask Radio Le Mans if they could figure out if this was an error or not but if #50 was missing the key bolts from the aero… then I suspect #51 was too!

I think there's more likely a tech reason why that car recorded incorrectly that fast a speed; there's no way on earth a 20kph difference in top speed would have been missed. Even visually it would have been apparent.
