Palmer is unforgiving....there is no run off and very little room for mistakes....

yea Palmer is my least favorite track , your choice of jersey barriers or granite. The car came in too hot in turn 8 , another friend had same experience on turn 8 with his Z06 last year unfortunately he Ended up on his roof too
Scary passenger A pillar on the vette snapped , pieces of fiberglass everywhere , very luck! Gt3 faired much better looks a thousand times better for same type of crash

The Gt3 delivered last November , only 3 track events

I can see that happening....Turn 8 is a very fast....there are some good photos of the corners on their website for those that are interested and you can see where the tires are if you run out of track....glad he is OK and had insurance...

Glad he is OK. No. 8 has a very late apex and reverse camber , easy to go in too hot.

Do you know if he had a 10% deductible? Glad he had track insurance but deductible still bites

Definitely. It was an expensive track day regardless.
