Default Wild Porsche crash...

Not sure if anybody has seen this or not. This is a wild crash, thankfully the driver and passenger essentially walked away from it. You can see the initial carnage to the vehicle, pretty crazy.

Notice that he knocked over several sections of the concrete highway barriers? Not a good place to stand for protection!

Love the guy at the end....."yes Domino's? Can I get 4 large (CRASH) oh snap....make that 3 large....."

Probably would have made the turn if he stopped locking up his brakes. Cant turn a car in a locked skid, you can see he turned the wheel in slow motion but continued to go straight. He should know threshold braking, unless he didn't see the barrier because of glare or some other factor and panicked.

Hard to say with different drivers but if you look at the other videos of this team they go in wayyyyy deep. Look how far he went into the straight there are 2 stone cones on out right... Farther than my pansie ass would. I noticed the white arrows on the barriers...navigator error? Maybe they should paint them a different color than street gray.

Im disgusted that they were just standing there watching like it was nothing instead of jumping in and saving the drivers.
