High hp, rwd, un-experienced driver.

Had a friend who did similar with a Dodge Viper; ran it off the road and into desert tearing up the bottom of the car pretty badly on a new car. At any rate, ouch!

Have a friend who ran his off the road - Road America that is - and it was, ahem, spectacular.

Thank goodness for engineers, modern safety gear, etc. One of my friends died at the track in the Porsche Deathmobile (?GT2?) that seemed to kill a lot of drivers.

I’ve seen a few at the drag strip that make you wonder how a yone survived, much less got up and walked away. The structural safety designs are nothing short of amazing.

I’m not familiar with a tubbed Porsche in the modern era that was dubbed that way. The original 935 had a “widowmaker” rep due to driver induced TTO by uneducated owners lifting in curves as they realized too late that they were going too fast.

In my years of race officiating I served as a Safety Steward for several years and had to handle fatal or near-fatal incidents with drivers I knew.

David was fortunate it was an “endo” he had. The HANS also did its job. Had it been a rotisserie roll that’d be another story.
