Brand new GT3 wrecked - 300 miles on odometer
#31
I have seen a seasoned driver put a brand new GT3 into the wall at Sebring. And he was the head instructor! You dont have to be a poser to crash one. Just take it a little too far past its/your limits and you will get the same result. this could have been a good driver who made a mistake, dont jump to conclusions Spidermonkey.....
The 996 GT3 has gotten more people in trouble at the track then the 997 GT3.

i think car companies should start screening people for high horsepower or more difficult to drive vehicles. there is just too many amateur younger drivers buying cars that are immature and are wrecking these cars. wrecking a car is one thing, its just a car, replaceable, its a cmpletely diiferent thing when human injury is involved.

..."Manufacturers are also rolling out driver-education programs. Later this year, Bugatti plans to start offering buyers a "security driving course" at a test track near its factory in France. Ferrari has offered driver training in Italy since the early 1990s and just opened the first authorized school outside Italy last year in Mt. Tremblant, Canada. Lamborghini started offering winter and summer-driving academies last year, formalizing classes long offered by dealers.
Bentley offered its first driving class in the U.S. last year and Lotus is launching a driving school in the U.S. this month called the Lotus Performance Driving Experience outside Las Vegas that will include instruction in "the dynamics of skid control."
One recent driving-school graduate: Mr. Aboubakare, the private-equity company president who spun out his Ford GT. He hopes to be better equipped to drive the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP640"

A few ideas:
1. Cars keep geting faster and faster.
2. The faster they go the smaller the margin of error.
3. More and more people can afford these types of cars.
4. Many of them are new to performance cars altogether.
5. Just because you can afford it, does not mean you should buy it.
6. Last but not least - Refuse to get in your buddy's car who went from an Accord to a GT3
But it does not matter how experienced you are - things happen at the track!

How can the guy be a poseur if he was at the track? What the hell kind of question is that? Have you been to the track lately? I see more ******bags at the track doing stupid things and cleaning out other people's cars than I do on the roads. It didn't used to be this bad. Unfortunately the track has become a mecca for every tom dick or harry with a fast car who thinks he's ricky race car driver. Tired of risking my car and my health on the track. First year I haven't renewed my NASA pro racing membership. It just isn't fun anymore trying to avoid not getting wiped out by some schmuck who can make a car payment on his gallardo, GT3, M5, etc.
