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 never see that happening, the track has 73 turns. Also I don't really see Europe as a region that would implement something like that; they just seem so on the 'laid-back' front.. something like that would happen in the USA, though. Unfortunate accident.

^^^ 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.

finally getting a chance to watch the pagani supercar video from natgeo.

I didnt know the flaps were used more than just slowing down the car faster. Helps it corner also. Awesome!
