You might be referring to this video:

The likelihood of "flipping" or rolling a car on a racetrack is negligible. At HPDE's, it just does not happen. If you search high-n-low enough you might find an example of it, maybe.
Honestly, I was being sloppy and careless... "cocky" maybe.
I drive on the edge of my ability at the track, because I want to keep expanding my ability. But in this case, I wasn't being smooth, and that's why it bit me. I went out on shagged-out tires with the intent of just sliding-around a little and having some fun. So I deserved it.
Do not let that little skirmish deter you from having more fun in your boxster than you ever thought possible.
