G37 crash
 

Hey guyz i came across this on the G37 forum, thank God no one was seriously injured.

YouTube - yas marina abu dhabi accident

well its a good thing it was on a track .....

Pretty novice driver by the look of it. Didn't detect the slide until way too late.

Pretty dangerous track too, lots of guardrails, little run off.

I wonder if his insurance will cover a track day, I'm guessing not.

Insurance doesn't cover accidents on the track. The G37 looks to be all stock...lol
You could see track cars pass by, totally in the wrong class.

Looks he was able to walk away. Glad no was seriously hurt. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

thats when you have it towed home and say it happened late night on the freeway

There's actually more vids from the same G. That guy is a speed junky...lol

Needs some "after" footage.

the other vid show's just a bit of the "After".....at the end.. like one second

thats a beautiful track!

ouch...

lol he prolly doesnt care about that car lol..

How could you have that kind of car and not care about it lol

It's UAE. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

uae???

uae = United Arab Emirates

that burned the crap out of his arms.

HE had a bad case of Early Apexing. In the first turn he was mid turn correcting and in the second turn the crash turn... it looked as though the track was off cambered and he took it like a normal cambered turn. He lost the back end and tried to feed counter input and chopped the throttle completely off. rookie mistakes all around but hey like mola said its ARAB $$$$$$$$$$$$

oh boy. another incredibly well informed and well travelled american very knowledgeable about the affairs of other countries :rolleyes:

just so you know, most arab countries do not float on a sea of oil and are actually not rich at all but quite poor. only the countries on the arabian gulf have oil. and even in these countries, there are still many poor people. contrary to the stereotype of the rich oil sheikh so prominent in western media, as a percentage of the population the amount of rich arabs is probably about as much as rich americans, if not even less.

Ohboy, another brutally off-topic post, designed to do nothing but provoke.

Just another example of a Canadian with nothing to do in sub-zero weather. :icon23:

he made a very ignorant comment which i responded to so :gtfo2:

I bet you he wrecked because he was trying to drift. On that second video, there were a few times where he purposely came out of turns with the rears spinning. Seems like he tried to take it up a notch at higher speeds...but failed.

i think he was drifting to help turn the car more into the turn because he kept cutting the apex too early. i think if he wanted to deliberately drift he would have more oversteer coming out of the turn. he probably needed more track time to be familiar with the track and the proper race line.

Canadians do what? :ugh:

Yeah, very nice, looks right out of a video game :tup:

first of all that was written in a jokingly manner also I am not the only one to call it arab money... take a chill pill canadian Bacon!

yeah im assuming hes baller too b/c one, UAE, and two, those are some high res cameras to have inside and out of his car. pretty calm going into the wall though, better than most would do

i just think he sucked and was getting on the gas too early. but i agree that he was apexing too early.
