Ouch. Looks like he just straight missed a braking point by 300-400ft, or the car a had some kind of failure. It went straight off with brakes locked up.

 

They released a report explaining what happened.

Just as I suspected . Glad the driver was apparently completely fine, able to jump out and extinguish a fire immediately after the crash.


Also, this is just plain impressive after a shunt like that...


"The monocoque is intact and will form the basis for the rebuild of the car in the near future, together with the engine, gearbox and many other systems. Both doors were fully operational, opening and closing in their original positions. The removable roof is fully intact and properly aligned."

 

...monocoque

 

Sucks to see a One:1 take a hit like this.. I'm hoping Koenigsegg sets the lap record for the 'ring.

The dude at the end cutting the bent guard rail at the end of the video with no eye protection either has callous'd retinas, or can do the job with his eyes closed - literally.

 

I wonder if it was insured for being on the track or wether the driver isn't bothered about it as to buy one you need loads of cash never mind going on the track. Being in Germany he could of already hit an autobahn and did what ever top speed he wanted.

 

how sad is this.. jesus what a beautiful car
