Just observing how close my knee is to my keys and how many keys I actually have on the keychain. It's most likely what happened.

Note to self: Remove all keys except main when on the track
You want one of these.

Ha Ha!!! I know what the problem is.....Your knee has bumped the key in the ignition just right and it killed the motor when down shifting into the corner.
I've done this a number of times myself and it scares the crap out of me every time.
god... yeah, did this so many times while doing heel-toe! i wish there was some way to lock that key in position or fab something to cover the key.

I have never done it on my car. But, when my girlfriend first got her S the first two races she was complaining to me that the car was shutting off. I went through everything on the whole damn car. I took the alternator and the battery out to have them tested, changed out coil packs. EVERYTHING, turns out she was hitting the key with her knee. Now when we race she just has her key in the ignition and leaves the fob and other keys in the secret compartment.

I've also turned my car off on track by hitting the key with my knee.
It happened a couple of times and really freaked me out until I realized what was happening.
