I suspect a faulty connection between the driver’s brain and good sense.

It doesn’t matter. What caused their deaths was the speed at which they were going, which meant that ANY problem with the car, from a power-steering glitch to a tire blowout, to hitting a deer, was guaranteed to result in a non-survivable crash.

To: Red Badger
If a similar failure would have caused an accident if the car was traveling at the posted 40 mph, then this accident was caused by a mechanical failure. If the failure caused the crash because the vehicle was traveling at a speed much greater than 40 mph, then speed caused this accident.
Roads are designed around a certain speed. If the car lost power steering doing 80 mph on a limited access highway, everybody walks away, probably without a scratch. But when you loose power steering on a narrow and twisty road with trees and lightposts right next to the roadway, if you are going 80 mph, you are going to hit something hard hard.

Testing a trouble prone car at high speed is not a good idea

suffered a mechanical failure that was likely caused by a power steering fluid leak
In my 40+ years behind the wheel, I've had a few power steering pumps and high-pressure hoses fail/leak/malfunction. Never caused a real problem.
This accident was caused by speed way too fast for conditions.

evidence of a fluid burst and subsequent fluid trail before the skid marks... What the brakes stopped working also?

Yes it was a failure - Because somehow, the media has become knowledgable Porsche Technicians with years of experience. *SARCASM*
Reality - The driver made an error that cost both his life and the passenger’s. Don’t drive a supercar that is literally modeled from a race car on the street and not expect a bump in the road to cause a loss in stability.

Rodas was a very good driver. I have raced against him. He ran World Challenge this year. The extent of impact damage indicates speeding (a driver error) but it is likely a mechanical failure was also a factor.

Probably more like overdrivng your brakes.
