That's what happens when you combine 600+ bhp and an idiot.

Shame about the car, but very lucky no-one else got caught up in it.

Interesting, he was sliding before he touched the brakes. I wonder if it was lifting off the throttle that saw the back end away.

Indeed. Can only assume he was over-correcting from a lane change out of shot?

Oh, on a related note, I'm assuming there's already been a thread on the best Korean crash recently:

Watch the cars bounce at the start of the footage, there's a small yump in the road that probably upset the car and spooked the silly person at the wheel, small panic and before you know it it's all over. Plus I suspect DSC (or whatever Ferrari call theirs) was off as they were "having fun" as that would have more than likely have caught that.

Am I alone in thinking that a car of that cost should not be so easily upset, especially with all electronic aids available in modern cars.

I wonder what state the tyres were in, if the rears were shot it may have had a big affect on traction at high speed.
Just a thought.

Wouldn't be surprised if the roads aren't particularly grippy in Korea either. Every little helps!
