Luckily no one was hurt...

I'd want to know... is there video? Was this the driver's first lap in that car? (I know the guy driving was not the owner...)

Apparently the driver was not familiar enough with the car to adequately drive it. Hitting the brakes when you mean to hit the brakes is basic. I can understand the difference of going from one car to another, tho.

MY concern with having a 'vette driver drive MY 911 (if I had one that I tracked) would be that the 911 handles differently. You can't go drive a 911 like you'd drive a Vette. Just wait for the Vette driver to lift in a serious turn, and it's all over!


Does kinda scare me a little... when and if I ever get to an Autocross, I want to check out the layout of the track. I KNOW I'm not up to par with my car's abilities, and I want to make sure I have PLENTY of mistake room. My greatest fears in something like this are damaging my own car, and damaging someone else's car.
