Trap Star posted:I was really hoping the guy filming crashed into the guy who was "texting". I'm pretty sure he was drunk or something too because that's a lot of swerving. I think it's funny that he thinks filming with one hand while driving is particularly more safe than texting while driving. It's still something that takes at least one of your hands and part of your attention. He should have just called the police, deputy dogsack would be out there ASAP for a sweet DWI arrest.

1955 24 hours at Le Mans Disaster In 1955, the Le Mans race saw the worst racing disaster that the world has ever seen to this day. 84 deaths according to the official death toll.

It is, I've tried a similar simulator once and as long as you keep your eyes on the monitor, it works quite well. For the best effect, you need a flat background and not a furnished room like these guys, seeing the room move around really kills the immersion. You can't simulate more than 1g in any direction for obvious reasons, but that's probably more than enough for most people

The length of time it takes to go from 1g acceleration to 1g braking looks like it would be really disconcerting.

My dad had a 1982 911SC, bought from new and sold in about 5 years ago as he didn't have the garage space. I was 17 and just getting interested in cars. Now, I just.... that noise... WHY. It simultaneously reminds me of my childhood and give me 'driving tingle'. My cousin bought it off him and takes incredible care of it, when I have a job (currently poor student) it is SO getting bought back.

So ever wonder what it's like to lose control of your car at 250+ mph? In car video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XCeuZvWuCY What it looked like from the outside (possibly NSFW, strong language): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiPg1E1veas Driver and car builder runs a little 2 man shop (him and his brother) in Buckeye, AZ. If you ever need a good mechanic way out on the west side of Phoenix, he does great work!

^^^ Somewhat related: Jackass loses control during a high-speed run because he's too cool to have both hands on the wheel (also his head sticks out above the rollcage): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYGK2WU0ZLk#t=80s Jackass role-playing a pedestrian from Carmageddon with an F1 car http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3zd35el8Oko and almost makes it!

Other than the high speed, I'm not sure I'd call those "related". Jim Kirk (the driver who crashes at 250+) has broken the world speed record at Bonneville in 5 different classes from the early 90's to 2009. I'm not sure how many are currently still standing, at least 3 though. Don't think I'd call him even 'somewhat related' to a Jackass in the area of driving cars fast, or building fast cars.
