You may want to check your comment. I think the driver has a reason why he only is using the one hand.

Where the track settings set Through the DIC? That’s an expensive whoops. Poster above mentioned a curb? There was a curb ??

Looks like it went straight over the rumble strips and G-forces pulled it sideways into the back side of the strip which may have been a little more abrupt than catching it on the track side.

Hope there was no damage and glad you're okay.

Yeah, I'd say you caught that corner pretty hard, and might have gone over the whole curb onto the grass....too much roughness for the car to not think something has happened....Compare it to the first lap, quite a bit different....

Good luck....let us know the airbag cost is....My guess $2K....

2K + the damaged Recaro Seat & head liner + trim. More than that.

Time to strip the interior fully and get some track seats with harnesses!
