New GTR R35 crashes following an Evo IX MR

Damn, that's a tough nut to swallow. And it was some 20 year old that probably had no idea about financial responsibility... Normally, in these cases I would like to think the drivers of such expensive cars involved in a night race are aware of the risks and prepared for such a loss, but soemthing tells me this kid was seriously freaking out.

That's what I do all the time in Gran Turismo. Luckily I can restart with a new car

Painful..........I wonder how good that kids night vision is? It looked like he really couldn't see.

^It's not his night vision that failed him, it's the fact that he was trying to hard to keep up with the Evo by pushing his driving capabilities (not the cars) passed what he is capable of doing in such a beast of a car. Guess his 3.5years of driving experience wasn't enough

.

Other than that, I wonder how he would explain this situation to his insurance company...

Ouch x 10.

Everyone has already said everything I was thinking, but I'll say something anyway

Erm...

...inexperienced/bad driver going too fast, loses control. Happens every minute of every day. If the camera hadn't been there, he'd probably have blamed 'the dog' that ran out in front of him.
