And yet another ABS, TC car crashes. Worthless electronic nanny aids on a sports car.

looked like a terrible course set up with an equally terrible driver. i didn't think an enzo could understeer like that!

One can get into severe understeer in a rear engined car when one has a foot on both the brake and the throttle at the same time. Listen to the audio prior to the crash. My wife broke her back in a parking lot in 1992 in a 25mph turn while driving a formula ford. She went wide, got into some loose stuff, started to understeer and stood on the brakes as hard as she could. Sadly she was also applying throttle at the same time.

At least he was honest: "The brother can't drive!"

Sucks for him and the owner of the car.

Any car will understeer if you overcook it into a corner like that.

Hopefully they can repair it!

Well, it's an Enzo... I'm sure it will at least go back to Ferrari for an evaluation of some sort. They're crazy about their cars like that. :)

Poor guy. It's bad enough to crash a car in private, but to have it circulate instantly all over the Internet, haha. Damn.

What safety officer would have approved a course design that had a solid barrier that close to the track? That was some especially horrible driving too.

That's a lot of car to put in the hands of your average non-enthusiast driver who doesn't know anything about driving.

"Poor guy?" Prior to this he was a relatively unknown comedian. Now everyone will know who Eddie Griffin is. He would have been even more well known if after the crash he would have said, "Enzo Ferrari doesn't care about black people."
