Porsche 993 GT2 EVO Crash (VIDEO ADDED)

[racingfreak]

OK, so this happened yesterday at a Porsche Club Day... The guy brought his original 993 GT2 EVO that raced Le Mans to the track, it actually still has the scrutineer stickers from Le Mans on the roll cage. He was taking part in a time trial cosisting of a gymkana section were you go throught cones and then go onto a drag strip for a flat out finish. He took of his rear spoiler for the day to reduce downforce for a faster top speed. As he came onto the drag strip the cars back wheels lifted over a crest and at that moment the car boosted and as it touched down again it just snapped! Sending him into the barriers at 160km/h+!!! Luckely the guy is ok, damage is substantial but fixable! I've got a video clip, but no idea where I can host a clip of about 4mb (any ideas?), let me know what you think about the pics...

Ouch, on a straight line. Proves that old 911's are tricky to say the least.
Old 911's are famous for that.

I guess that removing the wing was not a good idea afterall :? :?

Hurts to see a nice 993 that raced Le Mans crashing :bah:

Never noticed the wing missing :shock:

[racingfreak]

Was suppose to reduce downforce and help get a faster speed down the straight! With a car that has 600bhp I dont think he needed to do that...well clearly he wasnt suppose to do it now was he :? :? :?
