Superfast crash in London

[RichardCHXX]

Guess easy to do with that much power https://www.blick.ch/news/ausland/300000-franken-b...

even when its dry !

Looks like a huge over correction on what I'm assuming must be a pretty quick-racked car in the first place!

Was that a police officer stood in the central reservation to watch the whole thing?

So many digital era cars being crashed.

[gbrown2014]

you can see he turned the traction control off, cold tyres and a boot of 800hp dont get well together

Cold types and a seriously quick car driven by somebody showing off.

Not this video again! This gets dug up every few months. There was a thread at the weekend where someone suggested it was Brighton. It wasn’t.

I haven't seen it before but I do know that Lambeth Bridge is not in Brighton

Bridge doing a fine job of keeping 812 & driver on the bridge, and not in the river.

you mean not in the english channel ?

So, aside from keeping on the driving aids, what should the driver have done?

I'll admit I'd have turned into the skid just like he did.

Should he have hit the brakes hard and let the ABS give the front end some grip?

Happy to hear the armchair pilots on this one for sure :-D

Interesting question I would have turned in as he did and mashed the brake pedal who knows if that would have made any difference.

Reminds me of the F50 in the US that skidded off the arena and down some steps in to a cafe.

Think F50 was in Monaco unless two similar incidents.

He reacted about 5 years too late to the back end stepping out in the first place, then when he finally awoke from his coma he threw on way too much lock, then didn't counter correct anywhere near fast enough when it snapped back.

Could have stayed full throttle with ESP off if he knew how to use the steering wheel.

Tl;dr - react faster and appropriately, not late and excessively..

Appreciate that Fez but this same video was used to start a topic the week before this one started. It was also suggested in that one it was also a vid from about 2 or 3 yrs ago.

A bit like if I started one now saying “ shock news, Princess Di has shuffled off this mortal coil.
