By the way he was driving, I could tell he was going fairly quick, just the sound of the RPM when he went by, he was fairly on it.

So I made a U turn and followed him. Here is the scene:

The road comes through a medium 180 degree uphill corner into a 90 degree left that crests at the top of the hill. So you get lift at the top, VERY easy to spin / crash if you are pushing it.

After this you go down this huge hill that is about 80M long into an extremely fast RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT (the last right is really up hill and off camber, the car climbs about 8-10 feet.)

I follow him and he just takes off down the hill after the big left hand crest.

Surely enough, when he enters teh RLRLR combination, the last right catches him off and I watch a brand new 328i in the middle of the day, slide straight off the road (understeer) and into a rock wall at maybe 50-60mph.

The car looked absolutely fuc*ed and it was brand new. They were all ok and walking so I didn't call 911. About 30 seconds later someone came down the road to help them.

This kid looked maybe 17 just so you guys know. He might have not even been allowed by state law to be carrying anyone in the car with him.

In the set where he crashed, I would peak about 82mph in the miata before waiting until the last right hand corner to brake, the corner was a 2nd gear turn that the roadster could take at maybe 40-50. He was way over his and the cars own limit.


Thankfully no one was hurt.

sucks for that guy, if he ever goes up again i hope he learns to stay within his own means, that is the first mistake all beginners make, tsk tsk tsk, i wonder why...

It was a joke, but a lot of intellectual people do take risks, and it does harm other people, and if what you said is true then there would be more people living today, but lets face it humans are far from perfect.

I may not be that smart, but i am fine with that . lets just leave it at that ok .

Idiots take blind risks.

Intelligent people take calculated risks.

Geniuses take a blind risk, calculate it out, and time it brilliantly.
