a tire may have blown. one of the witnesses heard something before the car crashed. my husband is a racer and races Porsches as well as open wheel racing (formula one style cars). these guys are trained to drive at high speeds. i hate to say it, but for them it is worth the risk. my husband is much more cautious but it gets in their blood. when two men with a need for speed get in a car like that there is bound to be some trouble.

According to one report I’ve seen, there is some speculation that the car lost fluid (either oil or coolant)and then lost traction in that fluid. While I’m not sure about the Carrera GT, water-cooled 911’s have radiators and an oil cooler in the front end of the car.

A tire failure also sounds like a possibility.

The driver had a competition license and some professional experience as a driver, so in theory he would have known better to speed on the street. But it should also be said that the Carrera GT is known for being very tricky to drive.
