Hey Guys

I posted this video in one of the other threads as a response to something but I figured it was worthy of its own thread. I'm sure many of you have already seen this.

Is the reason this happened because the GT-1 drafted too closely to the car in front and lost downforce?

It's not really a video I can say "enjoy" but check it out.

Still a beast after all these years...I'd love Porsche to make a new GT1...

 

Wow that's insane, i remember seeing that a long time ago, i would love to know the answer too!

 

Great video, I guess I won't have that problem driving my tank.

 

wow someone neg repped me for this---wtf

EDIT: TWICE!

 

I would say the part that hurt the most is when he went straight into the wall. I love Road Atlanta.

 

I dont know about "lost downforce" more like gained uplift from the front vehicles air path.

 

Yeah your'e probably right. I just thought that drafting and cutting the air resistance would lose the air that would otherwise come into the front of his car and keep that part down.

 

That sucks, +1, I liked the vid bro.

 

+1 so I can compensate your loss

 

Haha thanks alot guys, I appreciate it.

Does anyone have a definitive answer to why this happened? I'm really curious and I cant find a real answer anywhere.

 

could we have a member called..... "the wall"?


watching the GT1 move the wall like that makes me think IF that was a nasCRAP car, the driver wouldn't have been so lucky.

 

on another note (besides the crash), that car sounds AMAZING! I cant help but keep watching it and hearing it over and over again! looks f*ing amazing too!

 

Wow, I remember that... +1

 

Thanks man---and welcome to 6speed.
