Default Broken rear spring !

I was changing the rear pads today and noticed
That the drivers rear spring has snapped !
I know it had rear springs changed just before I bought it
About 15k miles ago but this seems quite odd to happen again so quick don't you think ???
Also I have a track Eve on Thursday at donny
Do you think it's a really bad idea to do this with a dodgy spring ??

Cheers

15 mins to change at the track. No geo issues.

It's getting hold of one though,
Warranty will cover it but it's getting it sorted by Thursday isn't it.
Pain in the arse

I'd certainly try my very best to get it replaced before Thursday.

I imagine a snapped spring would cause some pretty unpredictable handling on track?
