992 Cup car did 3 front to back flips today at COTA. Driver was treated and released.
He was able to open the door and exit the car. Sore neck was only consequence. Car was seriously airborne. Not sure the 992 GT3 would have faired as well…

For those who are going to trailer to the track and aren't going to drive this car on the street, you might consider putting a full cage and halo seats in it.

This was on second hot lap of session. So likely the tires were hot enough.
From what he said he was going (or trying to) flat around the carousel. It looks like his turn into T18 was a little tight. There is a new (growing) bump at T18 that unsettled the car. The left rear started coming out on him. He tried to throttle through it but it didn’t work.
The car continued to rotate and the rear wheel hit the guard rail and climbed up. The car then caught air and flipped it back over front 3 times.
Damn....good the dudes alright? But I'm pretty sure thats recent sale to the normal market cup.
W2W team acquired it recently. They are shutting down. I understand they were going to list it for sale today. So it appears they were taking it out one last weekend before selling it.

As it sits, it’s just past the Marshall stand at T19.
Hi Ray. I’ve never had any real problems coming out of 18 but yesterday just prior to the cup car crash I had quite a tank slapper. Fortunately had the gizmos on which saved me. I’m wondering if there was still some slipperyness remaining from the oil spill. Guards red 992gt3

That’s a hunch I have as well. Plus, there are more bumps developing.
