The NSX Zanardi edition was not leased, the M-coupe he hit was...Bob hit the wall after turn 9, alot begginers had an issue with the kink that led into the hairpin 10-11 combo. I wouldn't say he was a clown, inexperienced, and ON STOCK suspension:

Lets analyze why that wreck happened: At the end of a fast straight Turn 9 is a flat kink to the right into an uphill 2 apex hairpin also to the right. He began braking while still turning out of the kink, because the hairpin scared alot of beginners, like him. Braking or lifting un-weighted the rear, and the car spun: rear first off the road, all the way around until the front passenger side hit the wall and bounced the rear pass side into the wall...

2 things would have easily prevented that: First better understanding/instructing of the track and racing dynamics, the uphill was the ideal place to brake, gobs of traction, wheels straight late apex into the hairpin meant a great run down the front straight...

Better suspension: Stiffer springs and better dampers would have resisted the brake dive, and the rear of the car would not have unweighted to that degree, and he wouldn't have left the road.

I was in my Si, and the most frustrating part of that event for me, was the fact that everyone was driving WAAY over their heads, I was clearly faster through all the turns. Come the straightway, the "VTEC-yO" kiddies would pull away...until turn 1, where once again I was faster and would catch them through the 1-3 combo, the *right* thing to do would have been to check up and let me and the guy in the Cavalier through on the straights. So much for intermediate groups knowing HPDE ettiquette
