@@joelhollingsworth1926 not only that, there is a principle of a tire having only 100% grip to be divided between acceleration braking and lateral forces. Single seaters drivers in particular f1 focus on straight line braking , releasing the brake then turning in if you try to turn with the brakes locked all you will do is go straight on, with your steering wheel cranked over. You are correct with the idea of breaking the symmetry of the spin to avoid the wall, but this technique allowed the breaking and turning moments to be more effective in their own right. I first learned this from the pages of the Grand Turismo 3 Ps2 Manual, Colin Mcrae did a write up explaining the 100% concept. It stuck hard when i read it as it was such a brilliantly simple but through explanation.

Indeed now watching presenting his own Carrera GT he mentioned about this incident saying that in the car he got scared pretty hard but he did manage to control himself to react trying to save the car from a horrible crash against the wall but reacting in a slower way that's why the car was spinning 5 times before fully stopping looking like it was on ice only thing he damaged to that car were all the tires rubber on all 4 wheels that because he was speeding over 180 mph and coming from the curve-bank he fully lift his foot from the throttle that make the rear wheels accelerating faster and car spinning but he visualize in the spinning a safe path and he try to react to recover as much as he could (he also say that if track was wet or rain previously he would definitely crash the car would spin faster wheels could lock out and the car could aquaplane).. anyway in the end when he was laughing in the paddocks but in the car he did was having his pants fill with farts & poo until the car fully stop spinning, remember the car was still a prototype in testing faze not released to dealers for sales yet so yeah pretty expensive cars and the Porsche guys were al most hart attack when they saw him spinning in that curve at such high speed but they calm down quickly seeing Leno coming back safely he mentioned he could hear some saying..

Heel Toe Automotive Carrera GT actually has a great amount of downforce, as its basically made out of LMP carbon tub chassis with venturi tunnels and diffusers along the whole floor. Out of Zonda F, Ferrari Enzo and Koenniggsegg CCX it was the car with the fastest time on ‘Ring and by far highest lateral G’s - based mostly of its downforce. Its downforce is actually what it makes tricky to drive at high speed, because grip tends to break in a non-progressive manner, very race car alike. Which is mostly why you dont recover the car once it initiates oversteer induced spin.

@@IzajResGS Thats not really true. It all depends on how the revs increase relative to the throttle and time. If a cars revs increase linear, then no matter its power its "safe", assuming you aren't stupid. The problem is when an engine "jumps", as I call it. Whilst no car can even get rid of it completely, the gt was pretty bad. If you, even at a medium pace, linearly increased the throttle the car would increase at a medium rate then suddenly jump to max revs, causing the tires to spin. This is different to just losing traction and having the engine redline

This is another one of Porsche's cars that is basically a street-legal racecar. Plus, he was on a closed course doing a record attempt in a factory-supported effort with full safety crew on staff. This car is the successor to the 911 GT1. If it could go airborne & do a full 360 in the air, then crash into a wall on landing and have the driver walk away with only bumps & bruises, I'm pretty sure a Carrera GT being deliberately used for a record attempt at Talladega (home of the "Big One") would be up to track-use safety standards.

Maybe I should have used the term "aged tires, or dry rotted tires", but anyway, when it comes to high performance cars and bikes, old tires get hard, and don't grip properly. The literal root cause of the accident was a loss of grip due to a combination of speed and old tires.

Man the thing about cars without full traction control, you’re at the mercy of the car if you can’t control it, and sometimes you just can’t. It’s 100% up to the driver to straighten the car out before it spins but when you’re going that fast it can be a matter of milliseconds.

@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td I can see the direct link of the engine of the CGT to it's LMP2000 predecessor, but it still isn't really a "Road-Legal LMP1 Car" it's more similar to something like the Audi R8 V12 TDI concept that used a V12 Engine based around the V10 platform used in LMP cars of the time than it is a literal representation of a LMP car. The older Porsche 962C cars that got converted for road use by Dauer (and others) are a much better example of a road-legal LMP car, even though technically they are Group C cars.

Turbo Toez It’s not a “sports car in hypercar trimmings”. It’s a out and out supercar engineered by one of the best automotive companies in the world. It’s an analog and raw experience, the lack of stability control just shows that you need to be 100% focused as nothing will be there to save you if you get it wrong. I don’t think a real homologated racing car is any different in that sense.
