This guy wound up to be very lucky as there were no cars anywhere in his path where he was traveling at about 100mph. There could've been a car or truck coming up that little hill/bump where he lost control and easily could've been killed or killed others dead on because he was also in the opposite lane. Very dangerous maneuver and very stupid I might add. Hopefully he learned a lesson, he got lucky and was spared. Something like that at that speed could've ended up much worse.

Are those roundabouts not raised in the middle? The few we have are and as soon as I saw him fly into it, all I could think about was it hitting a 4" curb and just rolling or something.
Luckily it stayed stuck to the ground (for the most part). |

"September 29, 2012 GT-R Run"
Speed an obvious factor here. Was it the back end going into the air and twisting the car or did driver input cause the slide?

Actually it was the whole car going into the air and him slamming on the brake while in mid-air. |

He could of avoided that by drifting into it but I'm sure he was freaked out by the hop. Doesn't look like he was expecting it and probably didn't know the road at all to fix his mistake... This is why if you're going to be dumb enough to speed to that level. Know the road you're on like the back of your hand. I feel bad for the car. lol. |

I do not understand why this guy is being bashed so harshly and not commended for his efforts. He was clearly showing all the other GT-R owners on the cruise what to NOT do with their cars. And for this we salute you Luke Duke on commandeering a GT-R and sailing through the air oh so gracefully...unfortunately the landing was something left to be desired.
