Ask yourself how long the broken part has been on the car and why it broke. You can tell this by closely examining the cracked area. How much of the cracked area is new and clean like it just broke a few days ago and is there any cracked area that looks like it has been weathered. Is there impact damage to the part and so on. Then ask yourself do you really feel comfortable running a high performance sports car with a critical piece of suspension that you are unsure of. Knowing the potential outcome of losing track rod at speed I would replace both.
