Oh my dear lord, that 350z driver is so awful at manipulating his car that I felt the embarrassment just from sitting here on my couch. ---

Same deal with this guy, hit that bump and just lost it? 2-3 cars now have hit in that almost exact same spot IDK if its the video, but that 350 sounds terrible. ---

you can’t hit that wall unless you fuck up, that’s what happened, he did too much of one thing, not enough of another, car snapped straight and he locked up the brakes, no doubt staring at the wall the whole way in. same thing I did with the guardrail incident, the challenge is identifying what you did wrong and trying not to do that next time. besides, that’s not even the bumpy side of the “track” ---

He probably was losing angle and wanted to straighten the wheels and snap it back to restart his drift. That’s one turn I would not do that on, you lose front wheel grip and you’re SOL. ---

yea it’s not the track. i hit that same barrier but i wasn’t going as fast as he was and i pulled the ebrake instead of standing on the front brakes. it’s all how you learn and get better. ---
