**G35 Crash Video** NSFW Language

Came across this video but not sure if it has been posted...

Quick reaction by the track worker! Hope the G driver was ok... kinda sucks being T-Boned waiting to enter the track!
I have no idea how the NSX got involved but FWD to 2:30. Photos in the end to show the aftermath.

looks like it started with the nsx and the evo, and ended up with the g.... hope all is alright, seems good... I know for motorcycles going track days, insurance doesnt cover the bikes, (part of racing) ...

I was just watching the beginnig, let the suspense fill with all of the foot traffic around the car...Really surprised the cars would be position so close to what seemed like a highspeed turn exit and then to allow drivers to walk around the cars while being so close the track.

As for the NSX, I bet he was positioned in front of the g35. Being such a small car you wouldnt be able to see it from the camera few and from what I could tell I could not make out two cars stuck to each other as the evo entered the shot...scarey stuff.

all that nervous/fidgety preparation (by G driver) just to get T-Boned... that sucks.

I agree with few posts up - I have no idea why they would let foot traffic (besides corner/flag) be out there, that’s just stupid… I’m surprised none of the people standing around were hit/injured… I know I would have never been standing outside the car out there.

And for the guys that asked about insurance - your insurance isn’t going to cover you on a race track - he's either SOL or tow it somewhere and say it was hit & run?

Ouch! Shame on PDA!
The good news is that PDA has become ultra **** about safety since then. I've done a number of track events with them in the last 2 years and you'll never see them staging cars so close to the track or let people walk around.

Very old video. Yet still as painful as the first time I watched it.

Yep very old and tragic vid. The owner of the G has been a member on here from since 03-04 I believe. I know thanks to pics posted on the forum he was experiencing some issues with the insurance company. Not sure what the outcome ended up being.
