I was watching...uhmm, that camera went out really fast...h o l y ****.

Did they at least try the parking brake and downshifting?

I know that things can get really fast when things go wrong. Oh well ***.

Awesome that they walked away.

wow ...poor FC ...it's like the FC is screaming..."oh noo!"..when they go into the corner.
But that's very strange...suddenly no brakes ....

I read alot of "they walked away" FC accidents...It looks like our cars are pretty save.

I think they were trying to turn without using the brakes, not that the brakes went out.

that was brando1985's car. He's a member here.

most of you are idiots. the brakes failed. i dont know, but they did. an E-brake, wouldnt have helped in that situation.

Looks like he old most saved it. stupid stock TII rims cant support enough meat.

Maybe the guy was trying to drift (but he doesn't realize that you need the brakes, i think?), and that's what he meant by "no brakes"

Yeah, old video.

And I don't believe they had no brakes for a second.....absolutely no way. If you were coming for a corner that hot, and the pedal went to the floor, that video owuld have one loud OH ****!!!!!!!!! or OH EXPLETIVE!!!!!! before they started turning.

But terrible crash.....

dude, you can hear him say something really low well before the turn comes up. like a sinking gut feeling and you see him look down like 'whats wrong?'. then right before the turn he says no brakes to warn the passenger. then...

i'll see if brandon would like to contribute and clear up some of this.

Brakes are all a matter of life and death, and well, Darwinism should pan out.

Too bad it was a S5 TII atleast that's what it looked like.

heh time to part that sucker out.
