holy F'ing $^!#!!!!!

damn

wonder how fast it was traveling when control was lost?

Besides hoping that the driver was not injured am I the only one who's thinking "I'm glad it was a 350Z and not an S30"

"I'm glad it was a 350Z and not an S30"

Bad bad attitude...

I do hope the driver was ok...I think that's him in photos 21 & 22 in the red and black racing suit...

3 fences...umpteen rolls...sheer insanity...

Whoever built that roll cage gets to start charging a premium...those photos are built in marketing...

I'm not saying I'm happy to see a 350Z totaled like that, just that it can be replaced with a new model whereas if it had been a 240Z chances are the driver would have been injured more and the car wouldn't be as replaceable.

I do believe you are correct about the driver walking to the ambulance; I had skipped over those pictures the first time through.

Here is an in-car vid going into the corner...absolutely nuts...

Looks like way too fast.

Glad driver was alright though.

I hope none of that stuff happens to any of the cars during ZCON....

BTW... If you're planning on hot-lapping at Mid-Ohio during ZCON, be sure to download & print the inspection form, and have your mechanic check your car and sign-off on the form. It'll save you time at the tech station.

I had heard that it was brake failure and what caused the flipping was when he hit the gravel trap he turned the car and it bit in. Probably a natural reaction when you are going that fast and see the wall coming.
