no one has really said anything, but man that cabin didn't hold up to well, looks like if that wreck may have had alittle more force the driver may have not been here today. I know it's all circumstances but from pictures of s2000's that i've seen rolled, they sure hold the cabin together much better.

I was there that Sunday - same run group the C6 was in. The C6 went too quick into the chicanes and hit the dirt pile on the side, causing it to endo flip. This happened right after the first lap, if not, during the first lap. My buddy was right behind him when this happened.
Sometimes drivers get too excited and forget to warm up their tires or they try to drive the same line as the car in front of them. I think he was behind a Modena Stradale.

Difference is this was at a race track. Not on the street...


I'd love to know how this happened..look at the rear passenger wheel!
Exactly.

And that rear wheel looks like it belongs on some small airplane now.

I was there, too. It was cold in the morning, and almost spun on my first lap. Kind of pissed he held everybody up for more than 2 hrs. We were forced to turn back around the track and our session was cancelled. Aparently my buddy's friend's Modena Challenge Stradale was everyone's target and holy grail. It was his car's first trackday, ppl got way over excited.
