He would have been better going straight off to the left and driving it off. Wheel off at corner exit, slingshotting across the track into the dirt on the far side is a common error that we have all made. If your car is straight you just get dirty. If your car is sideways you risk a roll. Lucky he walked away. Turn 9 is pretty hairy.
Yeah sure looks tough...it's flat, not blind but leads you in at high speed and then looks to go decreasing radius on you real quick...with the sand traps of doom on either side. Looks like a late apex is best until you know your speed in..

How do Boxsters do when they go off there sideways?

With the low CG is seems like they are less likely to roll, although if the sand is soft/deep all bets are off.

Is the racing insurance event coverage for liability and medical only or is there any % of car value replacement?

I figure in racing the car repair is on your own dime otherwise the premium would be huge?

Always wondered how that worked if you damaged someone elses race car. Liability coverage?
