[VIDEO] - Porsche Smoke
I had this happen at the track last week, I have never had to drive through that much smoke in my life. Kind of scary, because that GT3 I passed earlier in the video was right on my tail after getting behind the slower cars. I think the poor guy missed a downshift...

P.S. The track was wet in sections and had some standing water.

Figures that this would happen just when you were amongst
the most traffic shown in the footage.
An acquaintance here has a late model Cabriolet that has laid down
a heavy screen upon leaving after sitting for a bit at the end of a
day at the track. The dealer has fiddled with it but hasn't identified
the root cause. I think the car in the video will be diagnosed pretty
quickly.
Never like to see expensive things happen to nice cars. Glad that the
rest of you didn't get collected by his bout with misfortune.

Most people mispronunce the name of the car that smoked there...
Some people pronounce it Porsch-ah (like the lady Portia in Shakespear) others call is a Porsch, (not seeing the e
)....but....
The real and correct pronuncation of the car's name is Poor$h!t.
The reason for that is when that guy goes into get his car fixed the parts guy is going to say, "Oh, you Poors#!t, do you know what that's going to cost you...."
