gordy.r Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Don't know all the ins and outs of the details, but had a friend at Vmax over the weekend who was racing his stage 1 tuned A45 AMG and he was saying there was a white Supra there with .massive rear tyres and big bonnet vents that binned it going down the runway. Anyone on here? Hope all involved are ok and car is repairable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Glad the cage had been there to save him. I read the post from VMax that a car had been in an accident but didn't know it was this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Vijay's all safe and sound resting at home. It was very unfortunate. Just glad everyone was safe and sound. The GPS speed was over 220 and still pulling, we will probably know the exact speed once we checked the SD Card. Tyres were R888's, no idea as to why it came off the rim, but thank God that it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Damn that car just isn't having much luck, think he had another incident with this last year as well. Glad to hear him and his passenger is ok, can't imagine how scary that must of been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Blimey, R888's are only rated to 168mph, any reason for not running M/T ET Streets Darrett? Could have been very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 He was on R888 102y 335/30/18's rated to 186mph Was it his first run or would the tyre have taken a few runs at that pace before it gave up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lucky guy and might be the fact a 888 is only rated to 94w speed rateing which is only 168 mph so over 220mph is 50mph over there rated speed im not surprised they let go, There designed for grip on tack not top speed runs, Glad all are ok tho and a real shame about the car, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
