BTW not to thread jack, but I notice the new 2008 Tundra part of the rescue team next to the ambulance

 

good riddance.

 

I'm still wondering who thought it was such a good idea to set up the course with a frickin' concrete barrier that close to it; especially knowing that inexperienced ego-laden actors will be driving such expensive cars that close to it.

And I know it's been said already, but damn, what the hell was up with the understeer?

I'm guessing the director won't be getting any invitations to check out Ferrari's latest models anytime soon, I wonder if they'll even consider selling him another one of their cars ever again.

 

dyyyyynoomittttttte~~!

 

Ar least everyone seemed Happy afterwards....lol

 

Considering the speed of entry, it looks like he wasn't holding the line properly. Even so, I've driven a Ferrari before (360 Modena. . . don't ask how), and they are NOT understeer prone.

It looks like he stood on the brakes during the turn's mid-point/exit and over loaded the front outside tire. Had he laid off the brakes he probably would have been able to make it. . . that or he could have driven the car like it was intended to, and used the throttle and a bit of oversteer to compensate for the high speed of entry. But yeah, that would take an experienced driver to execute.

But if you understeer a Ferrari and crash, it shows that you are driving at about a 16 year old's level of experience. You really wouldn't belong in any car faster than a Geo Metro.

 

Like what eddie said earlier,

"Brother can't drive......"

 

here is the headline news about eddie's crash!

"IRWINDALE, Calif. -- Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $1.5 million US into a concrete barrier while practising at a racetrack, destroying the car but escaping uninjured.

The 38-year-old actor-comedian was practising Monday for a charity race to promote his upcoming film, Redline, when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale Speedway. Video footage shows the Italian sports car screeching before it ricocheted off the barrier with heavy damage to its front.

"Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the Brother can't drive," said Griffin.

The Enzo is owned by Redline executive producer Daniel Sadek, whose exotic car collection is featured in the movie.

Sadek said the Enzo was damaged beyond repair.



"I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said.

Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were produced, all between 2002 and 2004.
