Discovered numerous porsche cars with gt1 block engine pre 2010 that are water cooled have coolant fittings that are known to fail due to a glue that is not holding up. As such, driving can suddenly release coolant on the ground causing the car and those cars following it to crash without any warning. This affects 996 and 997 turbos and gt3 variants. The topic is described on rennlist.com, renntrack.com, and a vendor actually advertises a fix (sharkwerks.com). One group of porsche driving club users will not let cars without this being mitigated to participate in group events due to safety concerns based on a big crash in 2012 at the midohio track (may be 2011). Non track, street crashes and incidents are documents on the internet. This group of cars is a huge risk to all others on the road in addition to themselves. Someone is going to get killed and it seems to be accelerating in frequency. A registry of cars with the problem and information can be found via this link: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=592328&referrerid=40465.
