OK, he lost control at 180kph+. Still is that the speed of the impact? Hitting something at 180kph+ is very extreme .... usually when you're on the track and hit something, you are usually travelling at pretty low speeds (ie. less than 60kph) even though you could have lost control at 180kph+
For example, I saw once a WRX loose control at 100kph+ and he hit a wall. Though when he hit the wall he was barelly doing 5kph so the damage was relative to 5kph impact.

I didn't realize that the Porsche slid only for a short period of time before it hit the tyre wall. I was pressuming that the Porsche lost it, went out of cotrol, slid for ages and eventually hit the tyre wall. Though, from what you say that does not seem to be the case. That must have been a huge impact.
