Seeing many, many RS's getting crashed on track. Driving one myself on track, and after many years of racing and tracking, I find the dynamics of this car very difficult to describe. And it seems to be catching out a lot of seasoned drivers.

I agree. Perhaps some unseasoned drivers getting involved in the street crashes. Very sad to see such awesome cars getting damaged.

Damage doesn't look that bad. Maybe 15 to 25 grand. Not a big deal.

Didn't Randy also lose it a few times on track? Car definitely demands a healthy dose of respect. Now the regular GT3? Complete cheater car.

If you leave SC on, it's very difficult to lose the RS.
It's kept me off the grass when, if in 997RS I would have gone flying off...

this is the easiest 911 to dive. You have to drive completely stupid to loose it. Or if you are going 10/10th every lap - sure things can go wrong just like on any other car.

+1. What he said. Having driven other iterations on track, this one is by far the easiest.
