I was just driving this track in August.
I remember this portion very much... it IS a blind rise and left turn.
I don't understand what the Porsche driver could have been thinking.

And a Megabusa is not anywhere near as fast as many cars on the track.

WOW! Thanks for sharing. The folks in the Megabusa are sure lucky that they didn't get hit by larger pieces of debris! Not much protection in their ride!!

Cool, I was there a few weeks ago for a day using Ring4Rent's Suzuki car, I miss it already.

Quoted from the text that appeared with the video:

"Amazingly, even with his passenger grabbing his shifting hand during the accident, the Megabusa driver was able to brake, retain control and drive safely through the debris field".


It must be a "female thing", because over the years, on the two occasions when some "incident" like that happened to us, the first thing my wife does is grab my hand.......I'm trying to steer the car, and keep us out of danger, and you grab my arm????

Should have pulled over to see if the Porsche driver was still among the living. The Megabusa driver was also drifting left so maybe the 911 was just trying to avoid his ___.
