I thought that Ferrari had a 'No Idiots' policy on the Enzo? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

He probably would, and I'm not saying that there aren't exceptions to the rule. BTW, race car drivers don't count because they got rich by being good drivers. I guess the point is that MOST people can't drive for shit, and that's not changed by the fact that a person has a lot of money to throw away. A lot of people who own those things have no respect for the type of power they're dealing with, just like most people who aspire to own them have no idea what they'd be getting themselves into.
There wasn't much runout on that course, but still, he just blew it. No questions asked. You hear him get on the throttle and unload the front tires right before a super tight corner. Then when he realizes he's not going to make it, he doesn't let off or lightly trail brake. You see the car jerk as he jumps on the brakes after he's already off the course. It's full brakes, full lock, all the way into the wall. That's nobody's fault but his. The Enzo does have anti-lock brakes, but they don't work very well at full right lock.
I wouldn't say that it's staged just because I doubt anyone would risk their skin for a publicity stunt like that. Eddie Griffin's made his career being an over the top, stereotypically black, wannabe pimp. He's a prettyboy, not a stunt man.
And no, the producer obviously has no respect for cars. Just a waist of the hard work of people who have actually contributed to society. Enthusiast my ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)
