GPW DOWN!!! Nooooo. I wonder what the difference in setup between the two cars in that video are? The Silverstone seems to have a Wing and the GPW does not and the Silverstone seemed to stay planted very well in the corner.

Front canards and no rear wing? So, he was intentionally lightening the back end....

In the video in the OP, it looks like the GPW was carrying a little more speed into the second corner, based on how much the distance increased between the two cars. That said, I'm not sure if that would have been enough to cause a problem like that.

So all in all a light rear end is what caused this... Right?
