the person that sent it to you needs to post it directly on youtube. If the posted on Facebook video, only there friends can see it.

looks kinda like the Red Corvette jumped on the go pedal a bit hard and the car lurched sideways into the blue one. But that's just speculation. An unfortunate accident none the less

Ya looks like red vette got into the go pedal a little early, or a little too aggressively; possibly due to what looks like a bit off camber on that downhill, over corrected and collected the blue car with the initial spin, that sent that blue vette spinning as well.

Rain + racing = high likelihood of expensive repairs
