pretty amazing they flip it into a barrier, no helmets, and are both totally fine. that racing driver needs to reassess his career choice. :P

I've seen that before... idiot, trying to impress his passenger. The conditions were not good for that speed in the corner.

Wow, look at the speedometer, he went into that corner a little over 140 MPH! Those street tires didn't have a chance, lol.
