Should I feel bad for loving it when one of the Fast 'n' Furious ricer guys trashes their stuff?

At risk of exposing myself, that was my friend in a sponsor-prepared 350Z at a D1 qualifying event. Poor course layout -- no runoff at the turn-in.
Anyway, the Option video where he hits the safety car is much funnier.

Wait . . . wait . . . the SAME GUY hit a safety car? That is awesome.

By the way, I love the self-effacing humor in your screen name.

The 350Z doesn't look like a cheesy fast-n-furious ricer type. It has the appearance, at least, of a car built for a purpose. It's unfortunate that the purpose appears to have been letting that guy drive it. What was his account of the incident?

Failure to turn.

I'm no drifter, but I think the plan was (i) crank wheel hard left; (ii) clutch kick to break traction and get car sideways; (iii) countersteer and power through corner.

Step (i) worked fine, but step (ii) failed to break rear traction. Having failed to initiate drift, he massively understeers.
