I'd never seen a 997 GT3 in red before - looks great!
JC most definitely crashed the porsche on purpose. If you look closely the wall in which he crashed is actually a padded faux wall that has been put only in that curve. Also the way he lost control was so comical. JC sure knows how to put his point forward

EDIT: This is the other top gear R8 / 911 video (Carrera 2S), not the OP's GT3 video with the crash and JC not driving for a while. I thought it was the right one, but the GT3 video isn't up at the moment.

But I thought I'd leave the post up because some of the lines are great:
"about as tall as a badger's badger"
"this is like smearing honey onto keira knightley"
"richard hammond appears to have joined us in his... volkswagon beetle"

But the best thing about the R8 vs 911S video is Richard sliding his 911 for about 150 ft sideways! That was awesome!

This seems like a set up, especially because the camera that "caught" the incident seems to have a fairly good angle to film the crash.

How about this one, Porsche Carrera 4S vs. R8 on Fifth Gear, without all of Clarkson's blabbering :

C4S vs R8
