No that was NOT me, but I do know who that is.
Happily I have never crashed my Corvette or any of the numerous ZR1's or Z06's I have piloted. That snapped around so fast it looked like a tire went down or a tie-rod let loose.

No, an idiot GM exec was behind the wheel.
What a MO! Probably never driven anything with more than 200hp, let alone on a road course! Super-fail! Allen |

Rubber "marbles" could be another likely culprit in addition to something breaking in the steering linkage.
Good call- probably the most likely cause, but would be a strange spot for marbles to be on the track. The track/pace cars are equipped with ultra-sticky tires that do not require "heat" to grab really well. That was about $8K worth of carbon fiber front fascia damage.

Looks to me like he was pretty much in the racing line. He may have been just a little inside, but marbles don't accumulate near as bad on the inside of a turn as on the outside. I believe he just had too much throttle for that little bump. That's exactly where his rear end breaks loose.

No pranks.
That person is regularly in 500+ hp cars. He is a vehicle development executive, not a bean-counter.

He drove like he had no idea what he was doing.
How embarrassing! Allen |

I'm telling you, something broke on the car.
There was no tire smoke from sudden braking or acceleration. Something broke causing a wild veer out of control.
