I was there. I am in the blue AP1 following behind.

Before rumors gets started I will share the story.

The driver of the Silver AP1 wanted to try out a wing to see how his car felt with one. In the parking lot before this lap we swapped trunk lids on the two cars. The driver of the GPW instantly noticed the difference and adapted his driving style. Obviously it wasn't enough. He was not a beginner either. He is a very experienced driver, especially out on the 'Ring.

As for the GPW, it will be back on the road eventually. It's currently in my garage.

Wrong. The owner of the BB did. The GPW didn't. I know both drivers personally and was there for the GPW wreck.

Im gonna admit, I never listened fully on the first video for throttle, just the ones afterwards. I just rewatched the first one you were in though, it does sound like he is playing with the throttle like he should.

After seeing the video and then seeing the damage I must say the car came out better than I thought It would. Did your fried suffer any injuries from this incident.

The car is in pretty good shape yet. It will be back on the road within 2 weeks. As for the driver and passenger, both came out with no injuries at all. Not even a bruise.

I'm thinking twice about tracking my s2k now. Perhaps I should buy a cheap fwd to track! More predictable!
Or you could learn to drive.
