Default I wonder what happened in the pits after this track incident..

I have heard that some 911 owner ignore the watercoolers but this is one of the most stupid mistakes I've ever seen..

Thank God for the cage. Wow. Normally I have the attitude that what happens on the track is part of the risk you take, but if this was not a race people would have to restrain me after something like that.

Since this is technically a technical forum, I will cover the technciality and bring this back on track. get it, on track

What steps are necessary to get that car back on the road? From a technical perspective of course

Looks like the 944 may have changed his line knowing the faster 911 was closing, see how he is off the apex by a few feet. Either he was planning on going a little wide at exit to let the 911 pass on the inside or the 911 had too much speed, missed the apex and drifted right into the poor 944 while trying to control his track out. Too bad to see someone's car get damaged because someone else makes a mistake, but that is the risk of racing.

Was that a race or was that a DE? Passing on the right isn't a real cool thing to do at a DE (in fact its a BIG no-no).

Would the guy in the cup car be obligated financially at all?
