GT-R driver dies, injures 14 others

Pretty rough wreckage here. Must have been a really bad crash. Lucky there weren't any more fatalities.

Doesn't look like a high speed impact to me. The wind screen is still intact.

The very last part of that report is the one that needs to be listened to.

Stories like this once again highlight the important fact that high-speed driving should be reserved for track days only and not public roads, no matter your skill level--real or perceived--behind the wheel.

I wonder if those worn down Advan's had anything to do with the accident? My guess is yes.

Fortunately, most drivers who can drive usually do save their "skills" for the track. Not much needs to be said about perceived driving skills.
