Perhaps it's time to invest in some driving school seat time versus the fart can popcorn exhaust.

Those wheels look nice. I like the front lip too. .

I did about 10 track days with no TC. Car drove 1,000,000 times better. Never spun.

Your tires were probably warm and driver mod.

And you know how to drive. No abrupt inputs to gas or brake with the wheel turned. That guy obviously didn’t use his/her free track day

Yeah, driving spiritedly (legally) and crashing like a Mustangian is totally different.

So dumb.

Theres the *Full* video. So you speculators can have a new viewpoint.

Watching this, I would say pretty confidently that TC was not turned on. He still was not 100% straight and he mashed the throttle, boost hit and car lost traction, wheel was not fully straight, he panicked and overcorrected. Not going to bash the guy because it happens to the best of us, he was trying to accelerate onto the highway and just sent it a little too hard, and unfortunately for him and the other car, wrong place wrong time. One of the best things a buddy of mine who races professionally told me once while we were out on the track, and this has been engrained in my head since that day ; Your tires can only do one thing great a time, accelerate, turn, or brake, whenever you start asking for more then that you better be on your A game. Given the assumption that this car is tuned at least with bolt ons, you are looking at 500+ hp, chances are they just recently left cars and coffee because tons of people are watching, so you have cold tires, and you mash it in 2nd gear, this was a bad situation from the start. Hope everyone involved is okay, cars can be rebuilt, his ego will definitely be bruised for a while tho...

There’s a lot of speculation in this thread, yet no one seems to know for sure what brand and weight of oil was in use. Until we know that, it’s all just a guessing game what happened here.

this is the funniest response this forum has ever seen.

Driver mod or replacement needed. The factory Michelin super slicks wouldn't have helped any.

 

[_Sp1ral0ut]

It will be two weeks until we have a true answer to what happened.

Yeah, that's how it usually plays out.

Seen way too often with Supra drivers... another one bites the dust.

Plenty of soy boys on here can't drive

Duckbill ftw

I have to say the stock tyres on the Supra make it handle like a dangerous dog when the road/tyres are cold.

Needs full respect at all times.

Also needs a driver who understands that when it's all going wrong you might need to do something different!
