In any case I hope the people in that car are OK. It could've been much worse, good thing there was no oncoming traffic.

F8x are bit of a handful, just like a hot redhead. The same reason that makes them exciting also can bite your head off any moment if you're not careful

Sad to say the country is Australia. We have quite a lot of beautiful country roads and they can be quite empty. This guy has tried to take advantage of that but clearly pushed it beyond reason.

My favourite thread at the moment! Great footage! 😁

- Tangency point too early in a slow corner, YOU LOSE.
- Brake inside the turn, YOU LOSE.
- DSC off at an unfamiliar road, YOU LOSE.
- No counter steering, YOU LOSE.
- Neglecting the wet road, YOU LOSE.
- Poor driving and judgement skills, YOU LOSE.
- Video proof for the insurance not paying, YOU LOSE.
- Hit something beside the road, take off, attend the free flight contest, YOU WIN!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Now seriously, the driver had enough time to hit the brake a second time inside the curve (bad idea), but did not have time to counter steer??? Maybe the wrong car for this driver? But now at least this problem is solved. 😂

I've never seen a video of a rollover where the roof wasn't touched and it landed back on its wheels! Impressive…

Tight roads and no run off, it road was wider without banks chances are you could have saved it. Racing on roads is immature. Track days is what this is for.

I thought the same after my F80 spun around entering the highway at 70 km/t. Even w ESP on it took a split second to stand across. Luckily, there was some distance to the barrier, but I was a bit shocked how fast it came - like w no notice at all! It was a bit damp, but it happened a couple of days after a trackday, so I was pushing it a bit. Checked the tire pressure and it was low at 2.1 bars. Raised it to 2.4.
So you say, a G8x would not do the same? Lets see…

This comment reminded me of this classic community scene

This scene pretty much works for any thread that's posted here where someone does something stupid lol

What was the car recording the accident, he seems to be cruising just fine.

That said, i would have expected the cameraman to do a 360 as well to maintain the quality of the shot, and cinema quality

Use TC when unexperienced. Don't carve canyons at night. Stop showing off. RIP to this beautiful f82

The benefits of an AWD. It is sometimes literally the difference between arriving home safe and having a totaled car.
