Video of the crash

I think he took his foot off the accelerator or even braked during that bend and he lost control of the car.

It's counterintuitive, but you have to accelerate through the curve at 100+ MPH.

You should accelerate through the turn even at slower speeds.

I have to drive curvy mountain roads to get anywhere.

First thing my dad taught me was never touch the brake IN a curve

50 years later it’s muscle memory now

I slow down in the straight stretches long before all the curves.

Later I had to learn the throttle on for a motorcycle rule

Pretty much what happened. Totally stupid - looks like people were showing off and videotaping

It’s really dangerous and disorienting coming out of a dark tunnel into sunlight in a turn - especially with a very hard barrier on the verge. Looks like more than a few cars have suffered the same fate . The barrier they hit has been hit before in the same spot

Modern cars can be very dangerous to drive fast

They are so fast, capable, safe and easy to drive with over 400 -500 hp being the norm, stability control, traction control and anti lock brakes that you can get away with a lot, but when you make a mistake and lose it, you lose it big

You would never do that kind of foolishness in a classic sports car like a Lotus Elan.

At that speed it may be damned if you do...and if you don’t.
