Exclamation RX-7 Rally Crash video - OUCH

Warning for those who don't want to see an RX-7 flip and roll and see the rear axle come flying off......

I pulled this from a big rally video I got, thankfully this was the only 7 to crash.

*wipes tear from eye* Omg that was insane, stupid idiots. Like this one guy said back when I skate boarded " if your gonna be stupid, your gonna get hurt" I see that they really didnt mod the drive train alot. The targa race I saw they put one in a tree... then this idiot wrecked his RX-2 or 4, same race..... Believe me I was uneasy about it.

Why are you calling people like this idiots? These aren't kids driving on the street and wiping out. These are race cars. These things happen from time to time. Show me a racer that doesn't push their car and driving abilities to the limits and I'll show you a consistent loser. Yes this guy lost this time but then again, no race ever goes perfect for everybody everytime.
