I think that guy that shot the video did end up stopping. Here's the video, it doesn't show much though just him stopping
Pulling over to check on driver - YouTube

Yeah, he said he wasn't going to stop but he did.

Everyone here is so quick to blame the driver. Did it ever occur to any of you that maybe, just maybe, gravity went offline for just a sec? ......I thought not. :disgust:

:rofl2:

I didn't blame him and I feel the lead car shares some of the blame. Although in reality you aren't supposed to out drive your skill set and know the road. It appears GT-R #2 out drove his skill set and obviously didn't know the road. If he didn't hit the brakes he could possibly of saved it, but he freaks seeing he is quickly running out of real estate with the roundabout coming up and hits the brakes to try and slow down and induces a skid. All in all it could of been worse if there was oncoming traffic entering that roundabout. That is at least my observation with the information and video provided. Only he knows what he was thinking of course.

I still want to know why the lead car leap frogs the truck when there is a number of vehicles following him on a 60 mile cruise. Surely the road opens up to at least four lanes early on in this cruise and is not all two lane back roads in which case good luck keeping a group together when leap frogging traffic the whole way.

I think you should definitely blame him. It's one thing for the first car (which was not leading the cruise) to pass the truck, but completely different for the 2nd guy to try and pass both of them while this happens and try to go around the roundabout in the opposite direction.

The road didn't really open up much ahead, it was mostly 1 lane roads on the route.

the fun of cruizing this area is the one lane scenic roads with little or no traffic...

that guy clearly went too fast - even for a spirited run. there must be more backstory to the behavior - like some rivalry or taunting by the camera car - usually there is no passing of other cars in the cruize lineup.

he actually did stop

Or just being an idiot and trying to show off.

Yeah it looks like he did stop afterwards.

Well with knowing that then the blame is fully on the one who wrecked. Although I do not think his intentions were to go around the roundabout in the wrong direction. He never regained control of his vehicle until he was already committed to going left through the roundabout.

With all that horsepower in tow it's just a matter of time before one person in a large group loses all self control and gets the asshat of the day award. Nature of the beast.

Now I remember why I never drive the Nismo or ride the KTM RC8R in a group. Too much HP, too little skill, and this is what happens.

That sums it up pretty nicely.

They made jalopnik.....read the great comments!

Watch A Nissan GT-R Get Airborne And Crash (UPDATE)

This is why I don't do group runs anymore.

That's would be a 10 on the pucker scale............
