I'm sure they were all driving safely and at the speed limit.

At the risk of sounding all Institute of Advanced Motorists, it would seem that they must have been travelling too fast and/or too close together if none of them could avoid crashing...

Does anyone know anything about that 512 ? There can't be many of them about surely, I've never seen one in real life before.

Thanks for that - I think you should let the Japanese authorities know. They're probably completely baffled how it could have happened.

Have you ever been to Japan ? Enthusiastic 'packed' high speed runs/convoys are par for the course there. As well as modifying Ferrari/Lamboghini/Porsche and driving them hard. I doubt this story will detract others from driving hard or even stop the victims being out next weekend in their other car or replacement they've just lost.

From the article: "A group of foreign car enthusiasts were heading to Hiroshima from Kyushu when one of the drivers lost control trying to overtake a car on a wet, curved part of China Road in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Ferrari driver reportedly hit the median and created a reaction that caused the other cars in the lineup to crash, according to Japanese media (translated)." I'm sure they just hit a patch of frozen diesel, nothing the driver could do.

Pause the end of the video and see how little tread there is on one of those 355s... Now if said dude was flooring it in 3rd gear in the rain with those tyres what could possibly go wrong?
