That's absolutely a factor. A 911 GT3? You're upping the performance ante about as high as it goes. Even if you start pushing one to 75% of its limit, you are traveling at extreme speed and reducing your ability to react/correct on a road like that. And the faster you go, the more that unweighting becomes an issue on an undulating road. Who knows what happened in this case, but encountering an unexpected slight rise into a curve at high speed is scary stuff when the traction runs out.
