My condolences to the ferrari family.....

 

Couple of factors came together to cause that. Mainly inexperience, overenthusiasm, and poor design of the course. That cement wall was BADLY placed IMO.

That must be the first time that I've seen an Enzo UNDERsteer. Must have come in way too hot.

Any thoughts as to whether the stability control was disabled or active?

 

i second that.

that car is out of my league id never drive that even if someone let me. i couldnt watch it anymore.my stomach got queezy when i heard the crash.

 

I think thats pretty funny because i dont think brothas can swim either. That movie red line that he is promoting is as much as joke as that movie called Pride.

 

Probably a Fake Enzo, like the Fake CGT -publicity stunt

 

how do you know the CGT was fake?

 

Painful to watch.

Looks very real

 

the CGT looked real when I saw it at the LA auto show... It's just so funny how Redline is coming out pretty soon so i'm pretty sure it was a publicity stunt. And when the director of redline (Daniel Sadek) approached Eddie after the crash he hugged him... so I don't know what they were thinkin doin some stupid **** like that... I just wished they called me to do some stupid **** like that

 

Yeah, fake or not, its all in the name of Publicity,after all the movie will in Cinema's soon. Looks like its working.

 

its terrible to see such a thing....an Enzo is a work of art

 

I think it needs some suspension tuning. It pushes a bit.

 

Someone mentioned on another forum that it was staged. Heard it on the radio in LA that it was a $350k replica.

Can anyone confirm?

 

If it wasn't for the fact that it was a charity event, I would say it definitely was a publicity stunt. I would hope Hollywood has more class than that.

 

It must be noted that they destroyed two Porsche Carrera GT's for the movie (this is what I heard). If that is the case, I wouldn't hold it past them to have possibly staged the accident. Whats weird about it, is that if you watch the video, you can see that the car appeared to be understeering when it was meant to steer right. I find that hard to believe when you have a rear wheel drive car with 650bhp. If anything he would have spun backwards into the concrete. Something else to consider is how close the concrete was to the autocross course. That was ridiculous, especially with the cost of the cars (evidenced by the Enzo). Something is just not right. The pr that this caused for the movie is priceless. Them saying its an accident, would then cause the insurance company to pay up... and the producer can find himself another Enzo. Anyone?

 

You know it had to happen sooner or later....
