Allan Simonsen crash is so tragic... he's just driving normally and it looks like he hit a slick spot on the curb there, lost control, and

so sad.

There's a rumor that they laid down some fresh paint there.

if you look closely in the video i posted you can see tire smoke from the ferrari ahead maybe he let off gas on the this curve and rear slide out and he over correct it ? that could happen to a rookie but who knows he was experienced driver

Yeah, I think Chris Harris is still one of my favorite reviewers. Reviews things objectively for the most part, and still keeps your attention.

also, that video you posted is exactly why when I saw the GT-R "world record" that I was expecting more. Again, I was impressed, but everything is relative I guess.

I thought the GT-R world record was specifically for GT-R's... but I was on that too, because IIRC I've seen R34's and even R33's I think in the 8's.
