i hadnt seen that before.
it is incredibly ott in a way that only the americans could do.
one thing tho:
why was she standing there?
i know that she was telling him to turn right. but if i had been organising that event i would have done one of two things:
1) tell the people on the course to NOT stand directly in the path of the cars if they were to over cook things!
2) dont put people on the course full stop. surely signs would have sufficed? and it is fairly easy to tell if cones have been hit if you are sitting a bit further away.

i would have thought that this was common sense. no?

Christ those Merkins certainly do try and make a drama sound like a crisis!!

Looks to me like something on the F50 broke. The driver seemed to turn that wheel to lock but the wheels didn't turn!

its possible he had locked the front wheels, so that it wouldnt matter what he was doing with the sterring wheel. but you may be right.

actually i just realised what you said. were the wheels still pointing forward? if they were, then i wuold be very scared that an f50 could break that easily!

Even funnier when you do a quick google for what a Merkin really is.

I'd not seen it before but by golly if it's a repost I am outraged! How dare it be posted again! Sickening.

I feel dirty having seen that only as a repost :shudder:
