Anyone see the crash at Infineon?
Customer went to a trackmasters event this last Saturday and said a Porsche Black GT3 ate **** at turn 7(?).
That is all.

I did not witness said crash, so I do not know exactly which turn it happened.
Apparently three laps into a session, the Porsche's tires were still rock hard, spun into a barrier (tail first) and slapped the front into the wall.

And that's what I'm looking for...pictures of this hilarity. 
My customer was out there in his Miata & Evo X MR and couldn't take any pics.

There has to at least be post-crash pics! I have pictures of a Porsche that ate it I think on turn 3 at LS. I guess people that buy Porsches just don't know how to drive them?

That being said, there have been plenty of Subies that met their demise at the track as well

It was more of a joke than a theory on Porsche owners.

One time I was at the track a dude overcooked cold tires on the first lap at Laguna Seca and managed munch his fairly new M3.
I'm not celebrating their loss, but still interesting anyways.

Car Info: this required information?
Paul,
From a friend who was there, there was indeed a crash at turn 7. Allegedly the driver got on the throttle a bit to soon, spun to the inside on the exit of 7, lightly hitting the LF corner, and then slamming the LR corner on the inside wall.
