The only other incidents were some damage (minor next to the GT3 damage) to a 914 and a 944.

Shame about the big hits, and to expensive cars.
If you're at TRAC, stop by and say hello. I'll be at the Eurosport trailer, and we'll probably have a turtle pond set up somewhere

.
While this year the number of people letting the car run all the way out to the outside of the turn was much higher and much more consistent. I think this is due to the wall being much further away on the entry and people aren't waiting as long to turn in now that the bridge is no longer there.
While it may not seem like much there is a small difference in the way people are taking the turn.

Sorry, I only shot a total of 4 shots and they were all of one car so only one shot. I was showing a few racers around the track that were out from Seattle for a wedding and didn't get much shooting time.

He runs Group 2 IIRC, they share the red 928.

This is his "new" car after an incident in the kink last year with the gray car. This car is a bit heaver than the previous one. Setup for DE now, back to club racing down the road.
