He's probably much more calm than the owner of that car parked behind the fence. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Damn that Porsche hit Hard. Good thing for that semi soft barrier wall. That landing is going to hurt somewhat though.
Was there anymore shots? |

I liked the corner worker's reaction. The one looking at the car is definitley calculating the trajectory angle........ hope the driver was ok. Bent race cars are a real bummer.......

As I study that picture some more, it looks like he barrel rolled into the barrier and then the fence.

Always holding us up.
If I ever get the video of me almost punting him (GT-3) out of the way trying to make a pass. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant2.gif) and him really slamming the door on me, almost wading both cars up. Oh Yeah my 7 place finish would of been a little better too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John |

Water cooled Porsche? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)
Actually, I didn't see a water barrier in the crash, so that almost has to be from the cooling system, but that looks like a lot of water... |

Yep the coolers are up front . That is that cars achilles heel . Any front damage no matter how slight always ends in ruptured coolers.
