Making the rounds all over social media.

Poor guy. He looks absolutely devastated.

Poor guy. Not sure what the root cause is, in the vid the corner looks not too difficult. Too much steering input combined with lift-off oversteer?

Was this at autoclub speedway?

Ouch, que lastima!
Strange camera noise and vibration @ 4:05 coincidence or rear tire failure? Monday morning quarterbacks should have a field day with it.

Negative though i know of 3 GT4's that were totaled there since last year.

Sorry to see this. Hope he had track insurance.

Ryan_G

Hopefully he had track day insurance....

Considering his reaction.... Safe to assume he didn't have any.

Video is gone now. Can't believe the victim put it up in the first place. I guess he decided post-facto to have the flatbed drop it off against the median wall on I-95 and figured the video was a bad idea.

Even though I joke about posting the video, I feel terrible for the guy. I buy Lockton every time because the $600 is forgotten as soon as I hit Purchase Now, but I'd never get over balling up a 110k car on my own dime, even though in reality it wouldn't matter to our situation; it would always feel bone-headed.

Video back up.

I watched the video but don't know the track. I can't figure if it was mechanical failure (tire blow out possibly), slippery liquids on the track, driver error, or just really bad luck.

Curious if anyone has any good insights.

Says Milwaukee Mile.

Hard video to watch, for all the obvious reasons—and a crystal clear reminder of what all of us risk when we head out on track. Of course it's driver error first, but that facility looks like a car-muncher—or worse. I feel bad for the guy. Also glad he is okay.

Just been working on an article in which Porsche brass made the decision, after losing two drivers, that they would never again run on certain tracks with concrete walls in bad places. Also brings to mind something said after an event ran at COTA and someone had to replace the barrier system their car went into—their body shop said the barrier was cheap in comparison to the car repair that might have resulted from older barriers or concrete walls.
