Re: 911 Turbo crashes and flips on its roof!!!!
Wow...the only thing i can notice from this video is that the guy on the carlsson team car is just thinking about himself and not watching the rearview mirror...big risk with the first porsche and then maybe a porsche driver error mixed with a closing trajectory but the carlsson guy
Re: 911 Turbo crashes and flips on its roof!!!!
that Carlsson driver wandered to the left of the track, closed off the trajectory and then actually struck or was struck by the flying Porsche. The Carlsson guy kept control of his vehicle after the impact. Maybe the Porsche was forced up onto a rise at the edge of the track while being struck and that caused the flip

Re: 911 Turbo crashes and flips on its roof!!!!
Just wondering: The rear end of that _first_ car that passed seemed to be wobbling back and forth very slightly.
Could that have been enough to distract the driver's car and cause him to wander into the path of the car that subsequently passed/flipped?
IOW are things so high-strung in close-quarters racing that little freeky things like that distract and cause people to make mistakes of their own?

Re: 911 Turbo crashes and flips on its roof!!!!
Could be - definately a failure of concentration on his part - he stopped monitoring his mirrors, probably "zoning out" on the guy who just passed him. It could be that the first car to pass him was lucky to squeak by...
He did a good job regaining his own control and avoiding the obstruction though. The other driver is probably lucky their involvement stopped there too. He probably caught the right side wall after he righted. I hope no one else caught up in the wreckage afterward.
It looks to me like he must have hit the gt3 in the right rear quarter, sending its tail off the pavement, where the left rear wheel dug into the sod because it was carrying a lot of the shifted weight at that moment. I dont think it had to hit the wall in order to roll like that. You can see the red passenger-side side-view mirrow flash in the interior rear-view just befor the collision - it gives me the impression that the GT3 was moving A LOT faster than the camera car.
