Unhappy This is why you don't brake AND turn (350Z wreck merge thread)

Doh.

from what i've heard from people that were there, the 350z was driving great ALL day, and then they did a driver swap, this was the new driver's first run and didn't have enough rotation in the car for the turn, the front wheel locked after massive understeer when the driver entered too hot in 3rd gear, and with those massive front pistons... that's all she wrote-
There was even a minor riding shotgun during the incident.... both driver & passenger what i heard were ok afterward... the Z is a complete loss.

man that sucks. one funny thing though in the video clip the people that are walking by when it crashes are walking casual and not freaked out. Maybe they have seen a lot of crashes.

maybe his test pipes cracked, blowing up his front tire from the massive heat.
