Exclamation Track day: 944 takes out a C5 Z06 (pics) Cobra4b's twin

Crud, I'm forgetting his rennlist name, but this is Tim from norcal

Basically the engine blew coming out of turn 4 at Laguna Seca, Vette was following the 944, hit the oil slick and spun into the inside wall. No injuries - the airbags didn't even go off in the vette.

The 944:



The damage (note the area encircled):



The vette:






And yes, it does suck for the vette guy, but he was being a complete douche about it afterwards so whatever. :thumbup:
=that vette was using normal road tyres, they are toyo T1S.



My fave quote
"Lastly, at the first event I ran this year, a ZO6 blew it's engine and took out a GT3. So, all is well in the Universe."

hahaha

Sucks for him, but that's the risk you take.
