Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn’t hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner’s video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don’t touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don’t either.

      I drive a rear wheel-drive vehicle with no traction control. Even despite the relatively long wheelbase that thing still wants to go sideways on wet tarmac if you apply slightly too much gas. For me the immediate counter-steer is second nature but an inexperienced driver would spin out before they even had time to realize what happened. I can only imagine how much easier and faster that happens on a powerful tiny supercar like that. I’m guessing it’s either that what happened here or just good old hydroplaning.

      Easier said than done. We’re talking about a rear wheel drive rocket on low profile rubber shoes. You try walking on ice with Bruce Smith pushing you from behind lol.

      Guys an idiot for trying but Ricky Bobby himself would have trouble keeping 1st place driving that car in those conditions.
