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.......

......he's probably still in denial ~ "This can't be happening to me, I drive a Porsche " or better yet "There is no way I missed the apex THAT badly" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

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

Howdy,

Seriously lucky for those folks walking past that they didn't dawdle for about 30 seconds somewhere on the way...

Yeesh.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
