Might be a repost. Sorry if it is.

This guy lost it on the Ring.

he could, and as I mentioned, the problem FWIW was not the overcorrection as much as not "un-correcting" the original correction fast enough...as soon as one lets the suspension build up and exhibit force, its too late...

And yes, he 100 percent COULD have just stayed in the throttle and would have been OK (or better off than he was...)

Who here thinks AWD or/and traction control will save him from going upside down?

I'm sure it'll buff right off. Good thing there were no biker boys around. That could have been a mess.

There's a link in the article in the end.

The red one datax posted is a different GT3 (mk2 compared to the mk1 in the video).

These pics and vids are not unsual at all, everyday when it's open to public something like that happens.

I would like to judge these tourists who think they know the track and their vehicle well...

But it won't be appropriate beause I've been driving there a bit too fast lately and it is starting to be dangerous (8min flat in full traffic...dangerous because of the traffic)
