00:00 At the end of the race we use all available resources.
00:03 So we'll use caution comes out, we'll use video, timestamp.
00:08 And at the time of caution it was the 24 over the 48.
00:11 Obviously we would have loved to have left it green and let it finish naturally.
00:16 But once the two car had spun and started back up the racetrack and
00:20 was gonna be in the traffic and oncoming traffic there,
00:23 there was no choice but to throw the caution at that time.
00:26 >> Thank you.
