[QUOTE="LE BARON, post: 133454, member: 3515"] Yeah I saw that after I posted the video. Seeing it was a ZR1 I checked out that file first and as it was not there I posted it. Feel sorry for Mark Reuss scraping it up a bit. He is a certified race driver. Guess he did not have enough seat time getting acquainted with the ZR1's engine and power. What the hell are ordinary drivers going to do. Will be interesting to see if many get scraped this year. A sad thought. " Reuss is far from an inexperienced pace car driver. In fact, he has driven the pace car on the streets of Belle Isle on multiple occasions. According to an IndyCar official, he has been trained and attained certification to drive high-performance cars such as the Corvette ZR1. Sunday's race runner-up and Verizon IndyCar Series championship leader Will Power said the turn that fooled Reuss is particularly tricky, and that an accident like that could have happened to almost anyone. "I felt really bad for whoever was in the pace car," Power said [URL='https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2018/06/03/indycar-ryan-hunter-reay-breaks-drought-wins-detroit-grand-prix/663057002/'][U]after finishing second to Ryan Hunter-Reay[/U][/URL]. "It's very easy to do as you go over that crest, and the traction control must have been turned off. So yeah, I felt — it wasn't really his fault. It's just such a bad corner.
