If you know the track layout it's a bit of an odd place to end in the wall.
I dunno these joyride days for people with 0 experience are a bit dodgy if you ask me. sure you have an experienced driver coaching you but if you lose control there's not much he can do.
I don't think this was a joyride day, this was a cup prepared Porsche, with advanced instruction... they don't let just anyone get behind the wheel or one of those.

Sometimes in life, shit happens.

They do in Australia,
According to the raceway’s website, the track was being used on Tuesday by a company that offers 'hot laps' in a Porsche.

I myself have had a V8 Ute race day with instructor in the passenger seat. Was a fun day even though it was wet.

Such a shame and RIP yet another driver

However you need to question the wisdom of giving 911 rear engined 'widow makers' to kids who are being trained. One needs to already know how to drive on the limit before going on track with this car.

That's just crazy. I hope that wasn't the case here. I know it's an isolated thing but there may have been no fault with the driver, just a mechanical failure. It looked like the fire was intense.

I wouldn't get in a car with you driving. :hehe:
