unless you know that for a fact that article doesn't explicitly say that.. but if that is the case, regardless of whether or not he could have controlled the car throughout this racing or whatever.... the only real problem here is the gf turning the key off..... stupid girls.

Explain 1400lb 800+hp F1 cars then? Did you ever consider that you and your idiot friends arent Ayrton Senna? Your friend did something stupid and lost it perhaps your friends gf did something stupid and lost him either way its unfortunate

though the girlfriend may have turned the key off, her actions of trying to get the boyfriend to stop something that was reckless and putting her life and other passengers at risk was not stupid.

How many different ways could you think of trying to stop a car that you are in and then compound that with the heighten state of the situation. I guess I would have gone for the Ebrake if it was a handle and reachable.... I dunno.

In the story it mentions someone shutting the engine off, but doesn't mention whether or not it was the cause of the accident. At least not that I saw.

Sucks that he died, but maybe it'll be a wakeup call for some of those racers that street racing is FUCKING STUPID!!!!!

Man that sucks. But they shouldn't be street racing in the first place. It puts everyone involved and everyone around them in danger. But if his gf really did pull the ignition off, then that was a really bad action on her part. She could've at least pulled up the e-brake handle to stop him instead. That wouldv'e ended up better than what really happened.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun May 03, 2009 3:55 pm

Not really... pulling the ebrake could cause the rear end to kick out then they'd have hit the ditch sideways instead of head on, possibly killing the other 2 people in the car.

Lotus Elise, Ariel Atom, Lotus Exige, etc

Yep light weight cars are terrible in the twisties. You should only use 5000lbs saloon cars when you go into the corners.

Even Ayrton Senna wasn't perfect

Downforce.

The audio file is pretty moving. It's a reminder of how quickly something can go bad. We don't get many street racing calls in my jurisdiction because we're more in the middle of the city. It's too bad he wasn't wearing his seatbelt
