There is reports coming out now that the CGT was leaking power steering fluid pretty badly and that the driver may have not been able to steer. The skid marks were straight with no correction. It's said the driver was a highly skilled race car driver and that something would have to have gone wrong mechanically stating there is "no way" that he would have "just lost control".
They are also saying that is why the car was mostly on fire in the front where it was leaking from rather from the rear where the engine in is in the CGT.
It caught on fire cause the gas tank is in the front on that car.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
