Keep it on the track, guys. frown
He missed the Merc, the guy you are talking about is quite famous in 911 circles.

Fair enough. It wasn't clear from the crappy low-res GIF as to whether the Merc was tagged or not, nor what the context was.

Edit: I think I read about him and his Porsche in an issue of EVO. Sounded like quite a car, and quite a guy. Sad to see it got dinged. But I still think you shouldn't be so close to the limit on public roads that this happens. No offence to him or anyone.

Where on earth was he headed at that speed? Did he not notice the lorry? Or, the traffic? A strange incident.

"#nobodyhurt @magnuswalker avoids collision with vintage #MBZ throwing #277 sideways but #coldtires = bad result for @porschempls rally on Monday am in #Minneapolis #porsche "

"throwing #277 sideways"

Or "swerving and braking hard at the same time" as the less deferential call it.

Assuming that Porsche is LHD that could have resulted in a very nasty head injury.

That is some properly st driving.

The oncoming traffic and the parked lorry are both clearly visible yet he's driving too fast on the wrong side of the road. I can only assume he had his eyes closed.

p.s. I know who Magnus Walker is and it doesn't change the fact that his driving there is seriously below-par.
