Should not be lifting and coming down on the motor at the end of the track. This could have been part of the reason the crank broke.
Just clutch it and put it in nuetral.

I agree. Looking at the video on the blog, the torsional load on the crank when lifting off at high rpm while still in gear is enormous. You shouldn't use engine braking to slow the car at all. The crank, rods, pistons and flywheel are at full rpm and then suddenly being asked to slow down in an instant. Feather the throttle, clutch in, into neutral and coast to a halt. Sorry about the damage, though. That hurts!

It where not at the end it all happend, it where short after going into 4 th gear HELL broke loss..

Around 6000 rpm in 4 th gear

Looks like a lifter was damage and damage the cam and a bearing from the cam took a trip around the block and then the cam might be the one that got in the way of the crank.

Hello Christian, The crank in your engine is 5 years old. It is hard to believe a lifter broke the crank, I just can't see that happening. The crank is probably what went first, then it took out everything else. You should never let an engine like yours decelerate while in gear after making a pass. I can't say for sure this is what hurt your crank but it definately did not help it. I sent you an email, get back to me when you have time.
