Croatian racing driver crashed 360 Modena

Not good......R.I.P.

 

Holy crap,
Parts everywhere. Crash must have been gigantic!
Definitely didn't stand a chance. R.I.P.

 

Passenger died... RIP.

The driver survived? Hard to imagine...

What a waste...

 

can't muster sympathy for street racing if that was the case...

R.I.P. the girl passenger...

I can feel sorry for senseless victims/family/friends, absolutely yes,
sorry for a driver who's reckless and irresponsible, I just can't do that especially as this wasn't a kid but a "professional"...

 

Once a 360 starts to over steer all bets are off. Even for a race driver.

 

Incorrect,

An idiot driver operating under racing conditions on public throughfares crashed his 360 Modena on a croatian highway.

Unless the driver has a racing license, he is not a racing driver, but merely a driver doing stupid stuff.

Its too bad the provoceteur did not get a Darwin award, also.

 

High speed race in that traffic? Not good.

 

That is terrible news, and very sad for the girl and her family.

May she rest in piece.

 

according to the croatian press, he was traveling in the left lane (passing), moved over to the right, but did not see the car that was already in that lane (blind spot anyone?!!!).
collision took place, he shot off the highway onto the field, likely flipped several times, was ejected - didn't wear the seatbelt...the car caught fire.

the girl (very pretty 20 year old model) was wearing the belt and was trapped, but probably unconscious, died.

the press is not speaking anything about any "street racing", but he has been charged by the police. seeing the cars involved (a nissan z with aftermarket recaro seats!!!), i would wager a pretty euro that there was some hanky-panky going on here as the incident happened about 2 kms away from a major intersection/highway ramp. i can see them accelerating like mad from the ramp seeing who is going to be "first".

he's apparently ok now after treatment at the local hospital.

his father operated a WTCC Seat racing team for which he drove.

i've driven that section several times; it's a newish, very modern, safe road. only inattention and very high speed would cause something like this to happen.

...surprised how little of the ferrari is left after the blaze.

...it's in croatian.

 

Shocking accident!!

RIP to the young lady.

Feel sorry for her family and friends.

What a beautiful girl. Such a shame. RIP.

 

In a sweeper turn like that with adrenalin running and trying to impress the babe, it doesn't take much for the car to oversteer and then it is very difficult to control as the rear end wants to come around and the car slides. Looks like he launched off the curb and then when the car landed it rolled. Of course it caught fire. I doubt he hit anyone. Happens time and time again in a 360 when street racing.

 

Does this happen with traction on or off?

 

Beautiful girl, RIP.

 

It's surprising to see a racer drive so irresponsibly on the street. Especially with a passenger.

Most racers I know gave up driving like idiots on public roads as soon as they started racing. Apparently racing doesn't cure everyone. To this day, I drive more conservatively, because I know how much run-off room is needed at speed.

RIP.

 

What a waste of a beautiful life, I hope the driver suffers with her memory every minute of his life.

 

That sucks.

My she rest in peace.

 

RIP. A little shocked that not a single car appeared to have stopped to try and help.
