If I lived near the ring, I'd be flat broke from going every day, but damned if I wouldn't see what my yugo (All that I would be able to afford after track fees.repairs) could do!

I believe you are seeing the same car from two different angles. The first is the cam on the driver's helmet. The second is the car he passed, who also had a camera in the car. Watch the first one again and you'll see the second cam-enabled car.

I think that camera car was the one who was passed in the first video.

the onboard car is seal grey. the 2nd car is black.
either way the similarity of the two wrecks tells me the weight distribution of the car makes it prone to driver error in this particular type of corner. Which incidentally is one of the five most famous flat out corners in sports car world, used to be even more extreme.
p.s.
I bet you if I were doing that same speed in my BoxsterS I would not spin and if I did I wouldn't do a rear end hammer throw into the wall. The mid engine car would not travel far from the point of the spin.... far away from the wall, albeit with less warning than the 911.

That's what I noticed too. Makes me wonder if it is indeed the same track? It certainly looks like it. I can only asume that particular area of the track must be a difficult spot to get through in that type of Porsche. They both had the same problems.
