Montezemolo found out a California is not good for off road

That's pretty funny. What the heck was he thinking? Let's hope he doesn't get the idea for the need for a 4WD car now.

Well, it's nice to see Massa back in a Ferrari!

 

Everyone knows California and beaches go together.

 

Hasn't he ever watched a Formula One race?

 

What an idiot.

 

LOL!

 

I hate youtube. It takes 30 minutes to watch a 90 second clip.

 

What was he thinking?

 

*facepalm*

He just keeps digging himself a bigger hole! lol

-G.B.

 

Isn't it time to start yet another thread on this?

 

isn't this guy supposed to be smart? atleast a little?

 

I think it was pretty funny, but they were all good sports about it, no big deal.

Nice to see Massa happy.

 

Somebody that is a computer whiz should create a video with him trashing the 348 and then showing this clip right after all in the same video

 

faux pas

oh well they were good sports about it; we're only human (though it was embarrassing)

 

OOpps, not smart

 

"All future Ferraris to be AWD" - Montezemolo.

 

They all looked so gay except for Massa. It's like a mockumentary moment.

 

BAHAHHA I love how Felipe knows as soon he turns right that is going to be bad, look his body language hahhah!

 

Yes...very embarrassing. I bet he was kicking himself in the backside for a while after that

Quite similar to the infamous Veyron crashing in the lake story --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJa32RvAtPE

...or maybe it's just your internet connection?

YouTube works fine 99% for me. I never have to wait for it to load.

 

Haven't researched, but doesn't the California have fulltime traction control? Or can it be disabled? Wouldn't you have to be really clueless to do this in a Cali with TC on?

 

Traction control would not help... Those gravel traps are very "soft" and the gravel is very loose. The gravel is there to absorb energy (as you displace the loose gravel) and slow you way down. It is like sand or mud, only not as messy.

 

TC don't matter, all you need in those cases it's a 4x4 or higher center of gravity (although the California it's a pig of a car):

That had to be the most embarrassing moment of LdM egotistical life.

 

I'm an idiot for not taking the time to watch the video before asking. I thought the gist was that he spun off into the trap, but DRIVING into it is certainly a different issue.

 

Not surprising. No common sense.
