DAMN. I'll agree with you about crying. That's sad, especially since I saw my first one (in person) yesterday.

Dude the driver totally oversteered into a pole or something.
What a moron.
He should have learned to DRIVE in a low HP car first.

They say 25% of GT2's are totalled, I suspect CGT's will be more like 50%.

Who is "they"? Why is it that everyone quotes these crash percentages, but no one ever comes up w/a source?

Doubtful!

I'd say more than 50% are going to be kept in bubbles in some collector's spacious garage. If more than 20% are actually used with any regularity on the road, I'd be suprised.

Do you know what happened or are you assuming? The driver could just as easily have been the victim of another car on the track, or avoiding an accident, etc

came across a discussion in which the owner of this 3 day old car indicated he was on an AutoX and hit a cone in a tight slalom course (must have been filled with cement)...

I am assuming. The driver could have been a track victim, but if you look at the damage, that would only be likely if the track had steel poles sticking out of the ground. Again, that is really strange damage for avoiding an accident.
