This could have happened to anyone.....a little fast, and locked it up under stress....maybe he was tired. It'd be interesting to see the in-car video but she probably keeping it for a better opportunity.

It could have happened to anyone but with as much track experience as Magnus has I really expect more. From the video it appears that the sight lines around that corner were really clean. There were two on coming cars and the trailer. Even if the trailer wasn't there it was a lapse in judgement to nail it through that corner. That accident was quite avoidable. But then they call them accidents because we are human and humans make mistakes.

That was some seriously bad judgement and horrible driving

lift off ugliness

Did the first 2 people (in the other lane), who are witness to the accident just drive on by without stopping??

take note of the position of the trailer tailgate/guillotine.
jeez louise.

Jeez... I can't believe he parked in a handicapped spot. The rest is no surprise. ;)

Looks like the camber of the road caught him off guard and he then had to avoid the merc :burnout:
Witnessed this happen before :rolleyes:
But glad the only thing hurt is Magnus' pride and a slightly battered 277 :crying:

Cold Hoosier slicks.

The road also looked like it was recently paved, perhaps it was a bit lacking of mechanical grip.

Driver lacked mental grip......

He posted a teaser of the front wheels on the 964.

Wow far worse than I imagined. Every aspect of poor judgment rolled up into one colossal dumb A$$ move.

Irresponsible driving on public streets on cold R compound tires. No excuses in my book.
