Holy crap, so sorry to hear about this and see those pictures! This doesn't inspire confidence about the durability of my GT3, which I believe is the same vintage as Rich's. Porsche better cover this under warranty, or else ...

Thanks for all the kind words of support. I'm trying to keep this in perspective. I'm safe, I didn't affect any other cars, and it could have been much worse. But, this is the third major issue I've had with the car and any one of them could have resulted in some pretty bad outcomes. It's certainly getting harder to keep faith in the brand. They really need to step up to make this good since it appears the track insurance isn't going to cover this type of incident. I'm off to drink some good wine and not worry about it until I hear an initial response from Porsche.

Crumbs Rich! Just saw the post.
Glad you're safe.
Of late you've been having a few issues with the beast and this may just be a blessing in disguise. Time for the car and you to part company and make space for a replacement. It'll all work out fine. PCNA and your dealership will no doubt put things right. There's of course this and the 125 Smokies GT owners who are also watching this space and expecting an honourable resolution for you.
