Man I feel bad for this guy in the vid.
 

YouTube - In-car footage of Audi R8 Wreck at VIR

:shakes head:

Did not adjust his speed till it was too late. Looks like his skill level was not enough for the R8 and should stick to his day job, imo.

:iagree:

He won't do that again!

look out for that..............







wall.

I think he was george of the jungle in that vid.

totally sucks man... I would not want to get in that guys way after that ... but thats why you dont drive on a track looking at the tail-lights ahead but instead at your speedo... he could have saved it from hitting the wall... he just held the steer and let it happen...

Love the 3rd person yelling at himself tho

I had a fetish with track day crashes a little while back and posted this one in another thread about VIR crashes. This guy is famous for that wreck...the most recent Car and Driver (Lightning Lap) refers to this very accident.

yeah you shouldn't be doing that in an r8 unless you can afford another r8 lol.

lmfao

i wouldnt say i feel bad for the guy. if he can afford to buy and track an R8 then things could be worse.

I guess feeling sorry isnt exactly what i mean. Its like the video really helps you to feel some of his pain and anguish.

Just came back from the track yesterday.

Rule #1.
Don't take your car to the track unless you are willing to accept that it can get totalled.

Nobody is forcing anyone to run their car at the track. He knew the risks going in. If he was not 100% ready to lose his car altogether, then he shouldn't have gone. The only thing that should be on his mind is his health in the even that he crashes.

This is my attitude when I hit the track. Every time.

Well Killer! they didn't pass those kind words of Wisdom, to the guy in the Vid :bowrofl::roflpuke2:
