Re: F50 crash Video
Before he started pushing, it looked like he was navigating the turns ok.
Maybe the fronts were locked up, and that's why the wheel didn't respond. Can't tell this from the video. Did they find the flight data recorder?  |

Re: F50 crash Video
I hate it when hackers like me analyze other people's driving but it looks like the pavement was wet and he had the wheel turned all the way to the right but the car pushed. I wonder if he would have taken his foot off the brake and given it a little gas would it have straightened out?

I have heard that it was in Monte Carlo during press introduction of F50. The guy that crashed was a reporter and and it cost 20K to fix the car.

Re: F50 crash Video
I'll put in my .02
Pretty obvious. All he had to do was let off the brake. The only reason the cars was not turning is because he locked the front wheels, and he kept the brake pedal mashed. For those of us that drive in the snow, this happens all the time. If you don't let off the brake, and the wheels stay locked, you will not turn. Most people have a hard time doing this, as your basic instinct tells you 'STOP! KEEP THE BRAKES ON!', when in reality the opposite is needed.... |

Oh, h*ll yeah, Chuck, the pavement was definitely wet. I didn't mention it because it didn't need mentioning.
