There is such a great narrative to this, it’s not just another video and it follows a pretty visceral real story. I won’t spoil it, but if you haven’t seen it yet do watch it.

Randy gave me the reason that happened.

On a side note the gtr looks terrible with an all white front end. It needs it’s blacked out grille bits. Without it it has a late 90’s, early 2000 concept car look.

The R35 GT-R always leaves the impression of a slightly cleaner 3rd gen Eclipse to me from most angles, especially this one. The body color grille bits don’t help.

I don’t have anything else to say but “ouch”. That crash must’ve snapped his head back and forth quite a bit.

I wonder if white paint helps marginally with cooling by not getting as hot in the sun.

Surprisingly, it looks like he actually was quite fine. I can’t quite tell but I am almost certain that he was wearing a HANS device during it. You can see in the replay that he got his head whipped forward once and to the side, but there was no front-back snapping that usually causes whiplash.

Hey, he got almost to the edge of the water!

As one of the guys in The Beast said, it’s not a question of whether or not you will crash, and that you’d best pray for a good place when it does happen.

Good on him for making it out O.K.
