One of three cars awaits the first rider of the day at the Toronto Indy street course.

One of the cars came into the final turn a bit hot and ran into a pile of tires. No injuries except to the driver's pride and the front air foil.
Apparently the front air foil is a frequently replaced part of the car. Crews wheeled out a cart with three or four air oils on it a bolted a new to the front of the car.
This car was a spare for the rides. Note the fresh sticker on the tire
