Broken Silver R35 at Nurburgring.... what happened?

No... not mine.

Was at the Ring on the weekend. Awesome Sunday. Not too crowded and some nice cars. Spotted 3 other GTRs. One German plate (Black. black), another UK plate (Black, black) and a Belgian plated one (Silver, premium).

The Belgian plated car was parked up on the circuit around 11.00am (I think just after Karousel) and I saw the tow truck coming off the circuit when I was having lunch. No body damage and the tow truck driver said it was the engine.

Anyone here own the car or know what happened? Interested whether the car was modded, what the problem was... basically any info. I posted it here as I figure it was probably of wider interest.

BTW: I did 9 laps and then drove back to London and all seemed fine. Tranny temp emperature did not even go over 110 deg C. Took a break and cooled the car down between laps but given there was no queue this was easy peasy and personally two btb laps is about my mental limit.
