Default Chevy Corvette Z06 Loses Control; Slams Into Nurburgring Barriers

More importantly they're on their CELL PHONES! ON AN ACTIVE RACE TRACK? So they wouldn't even know if they were about to be killed by an out of control driver. Madness, absolutely madness. Shame the driver crashed, but I don't see any professional race car drivers hanging out around the track on the wrong side of the barrier after crashing. Knuckleheads...

Am I the only one that thinks that ranks among the laziest crashes ever?

That's the lamest spot to crash and only the lames do it. There is a slight "bump" there...it unloads the car, you have to be ready for it. He cut the track in half though, to begin with. Just drove it into the rail...lol.

It’s not a race track, it’s a public road. You wear you helmet when you drive on the road, skippy?
