Bummer. The guy or girl doing the driving was pretty good -that corner drifting was pretty crazy.
Accidents can happen to anyone though...

*salute*

What a waste! I wish I had money to throw around like that.

The movie isn't working for me. I downloaded it but when the quicktime icon comes up, like the movie is going to start, it turns into a broken filn negative icon with the quicktime logo in it like the file is corrupted.

try using windows media player

damn....that's pretty crazy.....maybe if he wasn't trying to drift around every corner.....he might not have crashed.....oh well.....nice vid though.

Ok, WMP worked, thanks Hardy.

That drifting was pretty dope. If you look close at the crash it looks like either the front right suspension broke or the tire blew and that's what caused the wreck. Watch to right front as the car starts to slide and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll notice that at the end they're looking at that wheel too.

maybe that's what they instant replayed for. To show that was when the person messed up. Also, it looked more like the front driverside was damaged than the pass side. but that could've just been because of how it rolled.

it looks like she was actualy praticing the siberian flick er whatever you call it.

matt, i see what your talking about on the suspension breaking but personly i think she set up the turn late paniked and locked the brakes and when the car hit the gravel she still had the wheel turned into the turn and fliped the car.

Good thing none of them Beautiful Porsche's were near that guy when he decided to flip his car. And of course your tires are going to blow, if your drifting around every corner like that. But it made for good entertainment!

Hmmm, ya maybe. If you look real close though you can see that the right front wheel is actually flopping all over the place (wildly moving side to side) before they go off the tarmac in a way that I don't think would be possible by moving the steering wheel with their hands. But it's hard to truely tell so maybe they did just lock 'em up.

It's called the Scandinavian flick.

I wish I had the balls to try that...

All you need is a fairly open gravel road. I did a lot of this a few weeks ago at a gravel TSD rally. You're in Ohio, which has quite a few dirt/gravel roads. Just go find one that's super wide and have some fun.
