What owners wrote
A coolant hose press fitting which is apparently glued into the engine block lost adhesion and disconnected. This resulted in a complete loss of coolant and a corresponding loss of control due to hot, slippery coolant coating the rear wheels of the car and road surface. Car spun and left the road but fortunately did not hit anything and coolant spill did not impact any other motorists.
"permanent" coolant hose attachment failed; it came loose from its mounting in the engine resulting in coolant sprayed onto tire, with complete loss of control during a turn , including 270 degree spin, and leaving roadway; fortunately no other vehicles were nearby, so a collision was avoided. Apparently, this is not an unusual failure with the gt3 engine. Note: this was not a coolant hose or hose clamp failure, this was a structural failure of a permanent engine component to which the coolant hose mounts.
