That was all I personally experienced, however I was in the group 2 session directly behind the M3 when it somehow just started spinning off from the long straight and crashed into a flagging station there. It was very creepy watching it happen, since it was the kind of place where no steering inputs would occur. I will say that I distinctly remember there being what seemed like a gust of wind coming across the track, and can only assume that he might have lifted, moving weight off of the rear and hit a patch of water, all three factors resulting in a high speed crash off of the straight.

riding with students, i could feel the car hydroplaning on the back straight. we would hit certain patches of water and you'd hear the engine pick up and settle down all of a sudden like it would be disengaged for a split second. my group 1 student told me he felt the car get a little squirrely when that happened. with the M3 i can only assume that perhaps one wheel lost traction and the other just thrust it into a spin. when i first drove by it though, i saw that dodge charger off track on drivers right and the M3 smashed up in the back on its side to drivers left. i figured the charger had somehow rearended it sending it into the tire wall. i guess that wasnt the case.
