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.

    If that’s the driver in the picture, I just can’t help but feel sorry for the guy. His whole life he’s been told having a fancy car means he’s made it in life, but nobody ever taught him how to not look like a slob. Some financing department somewhere is raking in their 20% on the loan, and the insurance company is happy to provide the absolute minimum coverage required by law.

      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.

      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.
