Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.
Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.
I drive a rear wheel-drive vehicle with no traction control. Even despite the relatively long wheelbase that thing still wants to go sideways on wet tarmac if you apply slightly too much gas. For me the immediate counter-steer is second nature but an inexperienced driver would spin out before they even had time to realize what happened. I can only imagine how much easier and faster that happens on a powerful tiny supercar like that. I'm guessing it's either that what happened here or just good old hydroplaning.
Its 2024, what the fuck are you thinking. I know you’re literally the stig, until you’re not.
You gonna pay for a replacement vehicle?
should I also test his walls for lead paint?
Hey, some of us were dumbed down by the leaded gas fumes in the 70s and 80s.
I had a crazy tank slapper on and oily on-ramp last summer. In my VW bus (not powerful at all, but is rear engined rear wheel drive and predates traction control by a couple decades).
I know I’m not the Stig, but was relieved that all the stupid car stuff I did in my teens still kicked when sitting literally on the front wheels of a big van in my 40s. We avoided the guard rail, and more importantly the CUV that didn’t avoid the guard rail right in front of us.
