GTR Gets Airborne then Crashes! Video!

Speed an obvious factor here. Was it the back end going into the air and twisting the car or did driver input cause the slide?

Luckily it stayed stuck to the ground (for the most part).

It was raised in the middle, but it looks like there was a sidewalk around that grassy part in the middle. The car only went over the low sidewalk and not the raised part in the middle.

Actually it was the whole car going into the air and him slamming on the brake while in mid-air.

Got distracted at work and decided to make this with MS paint. This was my first thought when I saw the video

^^ that's both sad and funny at the same time.

Haha, hilarious!

bwaaahhahahahaha

I do not understand why this guy is being bashed so harshly and not commended for his efforts. He was clearly showing all the other GT-R owners on the cruise what to NOT do with their cars. And for this we salute you

Luke Duke on commandeering a GT-R and sailing through the air oh so gracefully...unfortunately the landing was something left to be desired.

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

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:

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.

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.
