RE: Japanese supercar crash takes out eight Ferraris

[SKiwi]

Hum - brings to mind the previous Japanese supercar driver who lost control of his F40 on the Oz cannonball run, ploughed into a control point & killed a marshall......... At least this time the injuries seem to be limited to the cars.

Perhaps the photo does not appear on this site but other sites show the Complete accident and one stand out is obvious; a PORSCHE GT2, parked backwards in the emergency lane unscathed.
PORSCHE,a better handling supercar and better driven.

Err

85 to 100mph a pile up and just a few bruises proof once again that speed does not kill.

Massive pricks crash in the dry and the story gets repeated constantly for fooking days shocker !!!!!!

How do you know they were massive pricks?

Are Massive Pricks able to identify others of their kind so easily?

Bravo - Tom Cruise couldn't have said it better himself.

Forget the 355's - what about the rear ended F40?

Didn't see an F40 in there. No mention in any reports either. Where did you see that?

[Jasper Gilder]

Well - that's why I actively discourage convoy driving on Drive Espana trips. Before you know where you are the person in front is making your decisions and doing your driving for you and the result can be lots of tears

Absolutely agree.
How do you stop them bunching up ?

+1.
Sad news indeed.

[PunterCam]

That's why man has insurance.

This thread seems to have attracted some truly idiotic comments. It would appear largely from members with low post counts and/or short period of membership. Not really sure why this is the case...

Calling them pricks is uncalled for- what possible justification is there for that?

I would say driver error is probably the cause here, however just one mistake by one driver could potentially have caused this whole thing.

As for this being proof of Porsche's being better cars? Wtf?

You also missed the crashed Toyota Prius in Ferrari Red as did the pistonheads 'jurno". Poor reporting

Which video are you seeing the F40 in? I watched the one on the PH article again, still can't see it.

I did see the Prius but, why bother mentioning it?

[Bladedancer]

Too much money, not enough skill.
Shame nice cars got totalled tho.

[stanza]

A case of the Nippon "Fast and Furious" going "Too fast, too close"

What a waste. A testament to build of the cars that no one was seriously injured.
