Looks like he ran out of talent when he turned the ignition on.

Well, either their notes were incorrect, there was miscommunication in the car or the driver had a total brain melt. Either way that 3R was a complete surprise. Rallying can be a brutal business.

There is a slightly longer version of this vid which shows bystanders standing by filming and woo-hooing while two crew in unknown condition are in the car, upside down and underwater.

Maybe he was an ex-NASCAR racer who didn't know how to turn right.

I take it they lived?

Geneman 12-11-2016 04:25 PM
The word on that one I believe, was that the throttle stuck wide open....You can almost hear it on the vid as its still roaring while he has full brakes on..:eek::eek:

gshase 12-11-2016 04:45 PM
I think what happened is his tire came off.

pro driver, broken steering component.

the car was rebuilt and went racing again

I'm glad nobody got hurt.

Can't have been a Porsche. Had to be a disguised Mustang.

Why, it didn't plow through a crowd of people before the accident?

I think he is on his head, not "over his head".

gatotom 12-12-2016 08:39 AM
WOW, all I can say is good thing he was in a Porsche, so he can survive that one.

I just don't see anybody rushing over to help them out. I trust that they got out?!:eek:

Deschodt 12-12-2016 10:35 AM
My first thought was "Oh Magnus got a new car". I'm sorry...

It's definitely water cooled now. :eek:

That is an old video.

Who's the U-Boat Commander?

Mechanical failures are scary at speed. Several years back our chief driving instructor at a PCA DE had his Focus something or other out instead of his 930. His Ford was tricked out including R compound tires. Right front suspension failure on full throttle going up a hill with a slight left turn. Put it into the wall on the right totaling the car. Luckily he walked away.

sugarwood 12-13-2016 04:16 PM
This was posted a few years ago.
The analysis was that the throttle was stuck on.
You can see that he locked up the brakes trying to stop well before the wall.

greglepore 12-13-2016 04:43 PM
Yes, it was here before.

And someone was awfully quick to jump on the driver error bandwagon.
