Just a few days ago we brought you videos of an inexperienced driver crashing his (or someone else’s) McLaren 720S into a parked Audi R8.
You can watch an external and in-car view of the blunder by clicking this link.
Heed the call
In another, similar incident, a Porsche 911 driver decides to perform a launch control start leaving a morning car show somewhere in the US.
Despite a warning from the cameraman, the driver decides to ham it up for the half a dozen or so phone cameras pointed at him.
Inexperience at the helm
As you can hear from the video the, most likely, inexperienced driver decides to use the car’s launch-control system with the steering wheel turned; never a good idea.
Shortly after take-off, he lifts his foot off the gas giving the rear wheels traction and sending the car in the direction the front wheels were pointing. BAM! the inevitable happens.
Catch the low-speed, completely unnecessary shunt here:
