Let Us Learn from the Mistakes of Others: GT350 T-bones GT3 at VIR

Saw this on r/cars.  Skip to about 9:15 for the incident.

Seems like the driver was driving somewhat decently until he experienced brain fade and missed his braking point on the fastest part of the track.  If I had to guess, I think he just zoned out at the worst possible time.  You can see him looking down at his lap timer a few moments before so maybe he just didn't refocus.  I'd like to think he wasn't trying to brake that late on purpose.

It's scary how hard he hit that Porsche.  70 mph at point of impact.

EDIT: Checked Rennlist for this incident and saw the description from the driver on youtube before he deleted it from there:

This was the 1st session on Day 2 at VIR with Chin Track Days on 29-30 June 2019. The car was running well. The event was going well. The session, and my event, ended with a Black Flag when I was unable to adequately slow the car in the Brake Zone at the end of the back straight. I ended up leaving the track and then crossing back over it... in the process hitting a GT3.

Uh...a lot of passive voice in there...
