Looks like the CF tub is damaged on that CGT in which case it is a total loss. I guess it is time to invest in a CGT - at this rate there will not be many left a few years from now.

Indeed, last time I was at the Nürburgring in Germany one CGT crashed as well. I saw the CGT on a truck being removed from the ring with tears in my eyes. Haven't read an update since (if it was repairable or not.)

This yellow CGT took a hard beat and I doubt it will ever drive again.
Then again, they can repair structural damage to a car this expensive. It has happened before;
