Lesson learnt: If you can't afford to buy the car again, don't go on track

That's just painful

It's amazing though eh, you'd have thought he would do something stupid before clicking on the link . . . only to see that he lost control for a split second, ouch!

No they wouldn't? :confused:

What a wierd comment!

Is his name Tim?

Would he have put it on youtube if he couldn't afford to replace it?

Clarkey · 2 Jun 2008 at 18:15

you really think that half the people who go on track days can afford to just go and buy their car all over again?

Dangerous · 2 Jun 2008 at 18:15

You can see the black lines where other cars have done the same thing - Really unsettles the car

I say fair play to the man, thats exactly what he should be doing with the car, that is to say driving it at a track not staking it into a wall. Feel sorry for him tho, but looked too fast for that corner a bit in advance but its easy for me to say that from here and with the benefit of hindsight i guess.

LOL @ the comment "The car's computer obviously wasn't listening to your voice commands. Take it back to audi and demand a refund."

At what point was it obvious?

Probably the bit where he seemed to just be getting faster and faster through those corners before finally being practically on the rear bumper on the Viper in front and THEN lost control

Also if you look closely, just before he loses it you can see that he would have been going off anyway. Because there a corner just above the crest that he was nowhere near close to making it round. Looks like he tried to correct his ****-poor racing line and then the rear stepped out from going light over the crest.

Judging the standard of driving on most track days I'd say that would be a great thing.

'Godammmit!! Godammmit!!'

Is he American? If so, its unsurprising he crashed. They only know how to drive in straight lines.
