I would argue that some people can afford to buy one but not neccissarily afford to "track" it. If this was his dd, then he was a fool to bring it to the track in the first place.

"You pay your money and take your chances."

Gee, no sympathy here either!

haha geeze guys take it easy. i know what you mean OP, i also felt his pain. what hurts for us regular guys at that moment also hurts those ballers. its just probly gonna wear off faster for this guy.

any pics of the aftermath?

How do you guys have no sympathy?? The guy is actually using his sports car for driving on the track and he clearly gives a crap about the car. Even pro's make mistakes and crash cars at times. Give the guy a break, I'm sure he's a car nut like any one of us....in fact that clown in the R8 gets more respect for going out there and screwing up than those who will never drive a sports car the way its meant to be driven. I'm saying that in good humor, not personally for anyone. Again, disclaimer: No offense to anyone, I'm just sayin'

No offense taken! His still an Idiot!

No no no... I'm not saying that I don't have sympathy for him.. I mean HELL... the guy just munched his R8!!! I would feel shtty after that too. All I'm saying is that based on the tone in his reaction, it doesn't seem that he should've taken it to the track that's all.

you know what, that is a very good point. thats one of the reasons i want to sell my evo, i will never truly take advantage of its performance.

much respect to the guy in the vid for taking a car that can perform to a track unlike 98% of other owners of cars in that league that barely drive it at all.

The bottom line is that you have to be prepared for something like that at the track . . . but . . . it STILL sucks.

Are there any tracks in Hawaii? I've heard there is one on the big island. One would assume that there is one on Oahu since that place is pretty much urban sprawl like LA.

He's alive, he walked away, that is what counts the most!

That's right! It's just a car.

Subscribed so I can see it when I get home.

Is it the driver that is bad or the car?

If its the driver, never put a Mustang/Camaro driver behind a Z or R8? :icon18:

I would have been screaming the same thing even if i was fully prepared for a total loss. Its just natural to be mad when you munch something you enjoy..
