Photos curtesy of nsxfiles.com. This S2000 went off at Turn 3 at Willow Springs. Makes me think twice about wanting to track an open car. Yikes.

that is a very strange pattern of denting on the car.... still trying to work out what sort of roll or accident would have caused that.....

Perhaps the windows were rolled down when she rolled?

Still looks like it faired well, all things considered

Could be ... I had assumed up since the doors were damaged ... but they are not bad, so they could easily have been down, sure makes more sense

I'm not sure if it rolled or not, since there doesn't seem to be any damage to the back of the car. The pics don't really show the back of the car, but it doesn't appear to be damaged. I wonder why the spare donut tire is on the back wheel of the car. You're suppose to rotate the front tire to the back, or you risk damaging the LSD.
