I don't know...sounds like they were trying to blame the CGT handling "problems" on the accident.... And thereby blaming Ben Keaton who was warned. I think if you are the author and are going to cite handling "problems" and say that there was a warning, you need to be more specific instead of just throwing it out there like that. CGT's are known for having nervous handling, actually all the high powered Porsche's get that rap. Handling "problems" and damage are two different things. Which was it? And which of the two did the tech inspection point to? If a tech inspector determined it was damage and still passed the car to enter the track then that's really bad. If the tech inspector who was wasn't familiar with such an exotic car said "you're car is squirelly and oversteery, I'm not comfortable driving it" that's not really a warning based on perceived damage. Also, bringing up the "problem" without knowing what it was, and thereby inferring that it contributed to the accident is weird. The very squirrely nature of the car could have contributed to the spin and the fact that there was a cement wall so close to the track turned a spin into a double fatality. Or it could have been a simple case of driver error brought on by improper track procedures. Either way I think the track owners should have done away with that cement wall long ago and used one of the soft walls instead, a softwall much much farther away from the track...

A big problem is that these cars in track and autocross events are tech inspected very quickly, minutes sometimes and then they are allowed to enter. If you're going to be driving at a speedway like this in a CGT or similar, I would imagine that the tech inspection would need to be done before the day of the track event, examining the car on a lift etc. Fontana isn't jsut a small road course.

p.s.
enough experienced drivers have spun the Carrera GT so many times that I think Porsche would have taken the decision to add electronic assistance after the first model year. But we know how Porsche is at admitting errors...
