That guy went off RIGHT in front on me at the steeply banked turn with the corner worker on the new section in one of the later sessions as well. He lost the back end going into the turn, so that he was pointed at the worker station, then over corrected and went right over the outside edge of the road.

As I was heading into turn 15 I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw him driving back onto the track halfway between where he went off and turn 15, so I guess his car was ok.
I heard that was actually the instructor in the RX-7... he was out screwing around, and decided to drive turn 14 on the right hand side of the burm. Was it actually the RX-8?
