Looks like the lexus driver was flying around the corner and hit the BMW head on.

pretty interesting...the car does not look like it's that mangled & the airbag deployed? I mean, the front is obviously a lost cause, but I'm kinda surprised it ended in a fatality...the structure of the car looks to be pretty solid.

You know that's a $350k automobile, and you have to be CHOSEN to drive one, right?

More neg press for Toyota

Um, not really...

I'm pretty sure they will conclude that this was caused from driver error rather than mechanical malfunction.

If you read Bouncer's post, it said the guy came flying around the corner.:wack:

that particular car was a prototype nurburgring edition. so i am thinking all the safety features like airbags etc.. may not have been working.

the people in the people in the BMW have life threatening injuries also. they were both test drivers. i am thinking they were both flying around the corner at high speed head on.

i think that was a white sheet in the seat covering up blood and shit.

i think that was the white sheet they put over a dead body and it makes me wonder why a 67 year old would be on a semi private area going kinda fast meet a or crashed into another fast car on a road that would seem to attract fast cars?..first rules for 67 year olds on a hot road in a hot car ..headprotection..duhh

are we sure he didnt have a helmet?

if both cars were doing 80+ mph and a head on they would be pretty fucked even with all the safety measures.
