“somehow lost control of the race car “
“Somehow” lost control? Isn’t that like an amatuer climber “somehow” falling off the mountain? Laws of physics trump inexperience.
I read this shortly before your flag...
Down the thread a bit, someone posted an article from another source I think and it states in there that the guy was up at around 125 his forth lap. And the he seen him in a jerky motion and slightly slumped over before he hit the wall...
Couple gut feelings on this. First, I do not think his “escort” would have brought him up to such speeds if he did not perform well enough the first 3 times around. Second, I think we may find at autopsy the guy may have suffered possibly a heart attack or something...
If something mechanical happened to the car, then they are in deep doo doo...
