Carrera GT gets a little off line
I think it might have been too much right foot.

This maneuver can be caused by a new CGT driver emulating 911 over-steer recovery methods. The experienced 911 pilot will think it quite normal to stand harder on the gas if the back end starts to come around in a difficult corner. The CGT will not like this sort of input in a similar condition and will get wider instead of recovering. At this point, a neophyte CGT driver with lots of 911 experience may be tempted to throw in the towel and lift off the gas, since more gas didn't help. The CGT will really not like the abrupt engine braking of the rear tires and try to go super wide at the rear.
The S2000 seemed to be reeling in the CGT as the laps progressed. Either the CGT driver was not familiar with the track, not used to track driving in a CGT, the S2000 was running on slicks (very likely), or all of the above.

If you watch the line the CGT was taking in the preceeding turns you can tell the driver doesn't really know how to handle his car.
