No this was the wall on the left side of the track.

I don't think the owner is a regular here. I heard that the car was driven by an instructor and the owner wasn't even in the car.

I don't really know how he spun the car. It happed at the slight right hand kink after the 180 coming on to the main straight. There were no tire barriers so you could go thru there in a straight line flat out.

Overall saturday was nota good day. First the pre-grip area was a big lake of water. The track crew started to clean it up at 8am. The first group didn't even hit the track until about 1030-11. Then it took them over an hour to clean up after the s2000 crash. So basically everyone only got 1 session in the morning.

I hate it when that happens.

Rob and I made changes to my tire pressure as well as swap the wing onto my car for my time attack session and I immediately felt a difference in rear end grip. With the wing, the car had less tendency to oversteer on sweeping turns, allowing me to open up the throttle more while still feeling planted to the ground. The car also felt a little bit more stable in technical sections with lower speeds, but the effect of the wing wasn't as great. Overall, the wing gave me more confidence to push my car harder. Its a great mod and even better if you like that "racer" look .
One thing that suprised me about the Voltex (J's Racing) Wing was its lack of drag. Coming from a typical USDM carbon wing, the downforce is not much different but I don't feel any drag at all!

If you want a low drag high downforce you should really look into the multiple element ones.
