I hate streaming videos with my old computer.

nice. i can imagine the thoughts he was having when he spun back around and saw the wood structure.
do you know the driver? did he just lose focus (i guess to go off in that spot)?

Looks like he didn't quite know were the track was over that small hill and got a little surprise.

If you review the video, you will notice that a car is coming on to the track from the pits and the RX8 moves over to make room, causing him to drop the left side onto the grass. I think when he did this, he overcompensated and around went the car.

I'm sorry I would have pissed my pants if I saw an RX8 slidding at me at 100+ MPH

I believe that was NASA sanctioned

Damn! I'll bet that corner worker was a little concerned for a bit.

Yea, it looks like it's got a digital mini-dash too.. Someone spent some money on that car.

Lesson to be learned here. Always hold your line.....this spin was very avoidable...Carl

Probably one of the SpeedSource built RX8s.
