Thats what you get for autocrossing in the rain next to a ledge on tires probably highly ill suited for the H2O.

Barring that:

Re: F50 Gets owned....

or the wheels locked. It was a wet road as well. IF there's ABS, it either failed or it was shut off.

Re: F50 Gets owned....

I don't think he even touched the brake, at least not untill it was to late. And at that point he had so much lock on there isn't an ABS or stablity managment system in existance that could have saved him.

It looks like he tried to turn in and the car was simply going to fast and so ploughed straight ahead.
Instead of straightening the wheels and/or lightly braking he simply turned the wheel more and made the situation worse.
If Im not mistaken the F50 does have some very barely legal tyres, i.e. not recomended for use in the wet.

I noticed that too. Could the axle of snapped?

He doesn't look like he's going very fast. You can see him turning the wheel, but not going very fast, if it was slowed down, the motion of him turning the wheel would be slowed too, but it isn't.

Thoughts?
