Yeah, that Volvo has been posted a couple of times. Several years ago, volvofrankensteins were the ultimate sleeper. I sure wouldn't sleep on one.. in fact, I always check the tires now.

^^ The sad thing is that when you watch the video on how the LF-A, like so many other supercars, is so painstakingly made and then to see one used for the sheer purpose of bouncing off of it's rev limiter while doing doughnuts in a parking lot...

sucks, to be in that situation.... brake mid corner, lose the back end. Brake after and go into cars assuming he was carrying that much speed and wouldnt be able to stop in time. Well i guess theres better chance of dodging but that evo seemed to be right in the middle with cars on the right so damn sucks to be in this situation,

bad luck.. hope everyone was okay. I'm pretty sure something was on the track that led to his accident. Description said lost coolant from another vehicle.. sounds likely.
The 'Ring really needs to work on its warning system for other drivers. There are way too many secondary accidents caused by drivers who can't see whats coming up after the next corner. I know it would be difficult to have corner workers on that large of a track, but maybe corner lights?? Setup cameras covering every edge of the track and have a group of people in a control room to cover the safety lights?

^^^ i think just a red light would be nice....so if there is an accident after a blind curve or a high speed curve, a red light goes off before you enter the curve....so the driver can slow down/take other precautionary measures....

i love the sound of a motor like that on the rev limiter. rev limiters are far easier on the motor than one thinks or they sound and much easier than over reving.
don't know if it's a repost, but here's a short clip dedicated to Bruce McLaren: McLaren 50
