I know that exact road he was on. I've must have driven it hundreds of times. He was either going to C&C or coming from it. It's a fun road when there's no traffic on it, but you should not go too fast on it. The driver probably had no idea of the limits on his new 720S. Shame. Beautiful car. Glad everyone is OK though.

Wow, glad the driver is OK. Looking at that car in the tree, fair to say he was lucky.

Over driving your car is a problem at the track too. Watch this corvette in a hurry to show he can pass the Ferrari fail to keep his lead because he drives too far over the edge. I ruined a good lap time to give him the point and he ruined my next lap too with his stupid spin.

Yup our area... One thing to go out to the boonies and do highway pulls in a straight line with your new car. Another to take twisities at double (I heard triple the speed limit) with a car you don't know.


Hopefully he had gap insurance, and actually got his policy initiated lol


I think it was the same road the guy who had the Ferrari who crashed when it was cold out cause he had carbon ceramics and couldn't stop from speeding since it was so cold the brakes weren't hot enough

Was there when they airlifted him out. He was on his way to Katie's that morning for C&C. He's lucky to have survived; looked pretty grim in the moment.
