No kidding. Okay, a mid-engine vehicle going too fast and understeering. What does a brother do? "Hey, let's blip the throttle a couple more times!" Just watch it again and listen to the engine sounds as he's going into the barrier with the front wheels sliding.

Downshifting?

it didnt really sound like a downshift to me.

If I owned that car I would he-bitch man-slap his ass. :p

Funny though, when I read the headline I thought it was the masturbating basketball player... "Who would let a guy like that drive his enzo?"

well what happens with celebrities is they get rich and when they get rich they buy expensive things and that includes $250k race cars thinking it is a status thing but unlike a $100k benz these are REAL race cars and just because they are street legal doesn't mean they should be for just anyone with a CLASS C license

how many damn enzo's have been destoryed now in the last 2 years!

You have my full backing on that, this is like giving a noob a copy of Linux.

Classic non-driver understeer. Dialed in too much right turn past the slip angle. Did not undial to catch it and instead turned it more because it was not turning.

BTW, I give some crash points to whomever designed that course. Should not have had a turn runoff end in a barrier if at all avoidable.

PS - Ferrari can fix that (they fixed another one). Expect it to spend a couple of months in Italy and $$$.

Im personally impressed by the size of the cajones on the cameraman standing in front of the wall. The car was coming DIRECTLY at him, and he didnt even flinch the slightest bit.

I feel bad for his man whores. They're going to be working overtime to pay for that. :D

What was the course designer thinking? Why did they leave a wall in the middle of such a sharp turn?

Edit: Driver inadequacy doesn't help either.

Up to now I did not know who he is or he has a movie coming out, so its money well spent.

If this promotional event for Redline was supposed to show Eddie as a capable driver then it did the complete opposite.
