This poor TT-RS found itself a tire wall.
Was at NewHampshire Motor Speedway today (Only Lotus, other than a modified looking Europa) for a track day.
This poor guy stuffed it into the tire wall, and it looked totaled to me.

I hate seeing stuff like this. Not a good feeling.
On the flip side, have I mentioned how much I love my car? The harder you push it, the better it feels. First day in the Advanced run group and I held my own against cars that were heavily modified with racing slicks. Some of the fastest cars were a GT3-RS, C7 Vette, and a 600hp C6 that weighed in at 3,000lbs.

You are good sir, and if I had a prize I would hand it to you.
Yes, he over cooked turn 3 and the tire wall was inevitable. From what I heard, his tire pressures were way to high all day. Other drivers were telling him to reduce pressure due to how hot the track and ambient temperatures were.
It just sucks seeing something like that. I've only seen it a handful of times at the track days I've attended.
We all want to bring the cars home safely.

I've never actually seen anyone hit that particular wall before. And I hope I never do.

Yeah, but did you take pictures of the Europa?

How would I know that KCZ is not a sir?
Lol.
I've seen many spins at 3, and a couple of crashes with SCCA racing events, but never saw a crash at that turn during an HPDE.

Yes, it was with SCDA. I believe they still have early bird pricing for their August event. I'd be more than happy to talk to you or better yet see you at the next NHMS track day. I'm in the Advanced run group, so I wouldn't be able to take you out on the track. You'd have to grab an instructor for that.
Feel free to shoot me a PM with questions.

No?
I was too busy helping my little brother with his car and a couple of friends with their cars, including a brake fluid flush on a V-Dub.
It looked like he was trying to recreate the Chip Foose Europa.
