Default GT2 RS Crash

Hard to say it's worth keeping the car but using it the way Apex does maybe it is. Thoughts?

Sub 7 min on a crowed ring is just plain foolish. Add an overpowered difficult to control GT2 that has been MR’d, and you have a death trap. Risking life and limb 1700 times on the same stretch of road is the definition of insanity. Sign me up!

You'd be surprised how EASIER the MR Kit makes the car.

I drove it stock, suspensions only and full kit, it's a WAY easier fast laps machine with the kit. BTG Sub7 ain't a HARD time then.

agree - I "followed" a 991.2 GT3RSMR a few weeks ago in a GT4RS ... it was v.hard work keeping up with the RSMR - the suspension and aero on that car makes it soak up the bumps etc with great ease ... very
confidence inspiring...

Apex GT2RS was hit by another car. Just an unfortunate incident.

You watched the video and you came to this conclusion? At what point was this mentioned?

that that was not what I heard them say on the video: "the unnamed right hander after muttkurve and steilstrecke" ... AFIAK Klostertal is the right hander before muttkurve...

No, it's Klostertal. Very easy to unbalance the car there, especially without throttle, or if you arrive quick on a slower car.

A friend of mine crashed there once, police report said "Klostertal".

And this explainer seems to agree:

my bad. A friend of a friend of Apex initially told me that. Sorry for rumor mill. It was taxi driver error 100%. Glad everyone is okay. What I should have said first. DOH!
