I had the GT3 experience at VIR this spring. Car blew on the back straight right side and as soon as I saw it go I went to the left side of the track. Driver crossed back across the track to the left side ( I guess he was trying to get the car off the line) and did not see me on the left thru all the steam. I was close to him and he blew coolant all over my car. Fortunately he took the car all the way off into the grass on the left so I did not have to make an evasive move in the coolant. Managed it but it was a bad few seconds. Once your windshield is covered in coolant visibility is greatly reduced. Once the car was stable I slowed way down and drove back to the pits at minimal speed since I could barely see. Fortunately the session was black flagged immediately by the great flaggers at VIR so no one came up on my back quickly.

This was the second time I have had a coolant incident with a 996 GT3. The previous incident sent me into a wild spin. I highly advocate banning coolant in the upper run groups.

Maybe we should practice skidpads with some coolant!!hock:hock::dude:
