It rained during Saturday qualifying, and he nearly lost it in turn 3 with the car nearly sideways on the track for a good distance before he got it together...that was amusing. He wasn't the only car to do so that session!

Yeah, the interior ripping/cutting is unfortunate, but there's no good way to do a proper roll cage otherwise, I gather. Those door panels had to allow the lower bars to clear, and the bars need access to their mounting plates, so sometimes you just gotta punch a hole!
