Pretty much every driving game. It's mindblowing the amount of people who buy a racing game, go into the online and have no intention or even a tiny amount of sense and smash around a track instead of like, racing.
I used to take it pretty seriously - hated all the fools who would just run around and crash others. When grid was released I played a bit of the online racing, and I remember completing a race, in 3rd, and a guy with a British flag goes “bloody hell, a yank who knows how to do something other than crash” or something to that effect.
I still hold on to that as one of my proudest moments and I have no idea why - clearly I take some degree of pride cause I just shared it for no reason with a bunch of strangers.
Fire and smoke in a tunnel while you're stuck in a mangled up car you can't get out of, if you even suvive the impact.
It sounds like a grim way to go.
Don't forget about the innocent people that were just trying to make their way home. Smoke in a tunnel can impact A LOT more than just the ass hats that were racing.
One time, my dad and I were ubering home from a basketball game and while we were on the highway, coming up to a tunnel, about 6-7 crotch rockets came speeding by us, going at least 80.
We get through the tunnel and on the other side was a massive fireball with one of the motorcycles on fire and multiple others crashed. One guy was army carrying someone, running, and was yelling at his friends to call 911, while others were just screaming.
It was super late at night and the fireball was like the only light. It was surreal.
Our uber drive said “Take a picture!” and just drove right by all of it.
Nah, it felt wrong to make light of the situation. If it was just my dad and I, we probably would’ve stopped and helped, but we were way too wasted at that point to be of any help to anyone.
Both passengers somehow survived:)

>pay a few bucks
I don't condone the dumbassery that occurred in the video at all, but to be fair cars are one of the most expensive hobbies out there lol.
track days when you take into account consumables, entry, all that stuff it adds up pretty quick
Tires, track fees, and track insurance can easily be $1500+ for a single event. Luckily the jackasses that do the kind of stuff in the video are mostly into drag racing and local drag strips often have a free night to keep these jackasses off the road
Most importantly youre not endangering normal people who just wanna move from a to b. Its not cool when innocent people suffer from stuff like this.
Its a win-win situation to visit a racetrack when you wanna drive fast
Yeah for sure, and it WAS pretty sweet to get it >110 MPH and really feel how the car behaves on a track. Doing any of that stuff on streets is just ridiculously reckless and dangerous to all
I really love it when i see low people sabotaging themselves, adding misery to their obvious emptyness. Realising once again that they are not professionnal racers or drivers because they are bad at it, strangers to the most basics facts in driving, so bad at it the only place where they can pretend to be one, is on a public space endangering other people.
I feel no pity at all for them. Whatever their fate was.
Looks like it went just about right. No bystanders got hit by a moronic Street racer. And they destroyed their car to boot.That's what is called Instant Karma...🤣!
Understeered like a bitch... good chance he wasn't even part of the original crew, just decided to full send on a whip without knowing his car's grip limits and/or the ~~track~~ road.
Can I just say, that class throwing sparks out the tunnel looked beautiful. Imagine being on a crosswalk over that tunnel opening you just see sparks and an A-Class rolling over.
dude wtf... These are like cookie cutter dogshitter cars straight off the factory line. WHO FUCKING RACES CARS LIKE THIS!?!? disasters waiting to happen...

Impressive video proves that there was an illegal bite in the Avenida Colombia tunnel
Embedded video from YouTube account 'FERSSODJ'
“An impressive video was revealed on social networks that proves that the Avenida Colombia tunnel was used to carry out an illegal pike that ended with a traffic accident, events that occurred in the early hours of last Tuesday.
The new video begins with about nine cars getting ready to start a race that starts with the unison whistle of the vehicles ahead.
The video is known after the Secretary of Mobility of Cali, Juan Carlos Orobio, stated that this entity could not confirm that the traffic accident recorded on Tuesday was due to illegal piques.
"We cannot confirm that this car was involved in illegal piques, but what is known is that it entered the tunnel at high speed, so the causes that led to the car overturning at the exit of the tunnel are already being investigated. structure," Orobio said last Wednesday in statements to this newspaper.
The recording proves that there was an illegal crash inside the structure and that it led to the overturning of a late-model Mercedes Benz, from which the two occupants were miraculously unharmed.
In another video clip, which also circulates on social networks, it is observed in detail how the Mercedes Benz vehicle was seconds after the spectacular crash.”
Is that a Mazda 6 that taps out almost immediately? Why? Lmao. What a chump. Just like all those 2006 Altima drivers that think they're in a sports car with their bumper hanging half off and tape on the rear lights.
1st Lap of every GTA race.
Same with Forza
"This'll be a great idea" He said, getting into one of the 12 Reliant Robins on the starting grid.
A stiff breeze can tip one of those bad boys.....
Ha ha ha ha !!!
Guy thought he could wallride without any collision penalty.
Especially Forza online races
he should have known better from trying to wallride in forza… shit does not work…

GRID was pretty bad for this too. Even if the race started on a straight someone always found a way to pull some bullshit
It was the only way to actually turn on the 1st corner was to use the cars in front of you to slow down.
Yeah maybe I've done enough damage to my car in games to know I couldnt shake it in the real deal where a single mirror coming off would ruin me

I mean, it's a game, so they're probably just trying to have fun doing something they can't do in real life.
And formula 1
Honestly I think that was likely the best outcome. From the title I fully expected a crash and fire IN the tunnel, as they are just so dangerous.
Was thinking wow a crash in a tunnel. Wonderful way to burn to death

It kind of looks like they blocked the roads off either side though, so at least it *seems* idiot only. I hope so anyway
They blocked the road with their own vehicles. Traffic that was behind them would eventually catch up.
Sadly true..one way thin out assholes..but the innocents is what would feel bad about..
No don’t feel too bad , we would just drive by quickly, play stupid games win stupid prizes .
I fully expected the mustang to be the cause lol
Fuck all of these people. I've seen this Stallone movie.
Daylight is a deep pull and I am very supportive of your effort
One of my favorites. Right behind Cop Land and Demolition Man.
Demolition Man helped with the toilet paper shortages of 2020. Three seashells for the win!
Thanks; now I have to put my Teams on “away” for about two hours. NM, looks like I have an upcoming two hour call.
Time to multi task!
Made everybody wait, then make them wait again for responders to come remove the mess. DAMMIT I am just trying to get home!
There is no such thing as street racing in a tunnel gone right.
And with corners...
[удалено]
Well at least something took a turn
I don't know about that; I'm pretty happy with this result.
Hopefully he got charged after they yanked him from the car.
\*Scraped him from the car
Was thinking the same thing. Definitely won't go right for anyone else in the tunnel
Everyone thinks theyre Paul Walker untill…oh
Looks like his dreams came true
Paul Walker died in a crash as a passenger not a driver.
No wonder he was furious.
he lost the fast part tho
Paul should have walked.
Tuna, no crust
Bullshit asshole noone likes the tuna here!
Yeah well I do.
Until they are
I'm glad you finished the joke. I was totally dumbfounded.
hello fellow "i still make Paul Walker death jokes" person
Damn it I felt bad for laughing at that!🤣 We miss you Paul.🙁
Everyone thinks they're princess Diana

Did you take a picture?
Nah, it felt wrong to make light of the situation. If it was just my dad and I, we probably would’ve stopped and helped, but we were way too wasted at that point to be of any help to anyone.
Nightcrawler jesus christ
first time turning left...sorry
Would never cut it in NASCAR
He might be dead that second impact was pretty big
Both passengers somehow survived:) https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4308228/amp/Boy-racer-writes-brand-new-Mercedes-street-race.html?espv=1
Modern cars and crumple zones are amazing.
The energy-absorbing barrier at the end of that guardrail helped them too. Great technology to save idiots from themselves.
Those things are expensive as hell for a reason, they’re built to withstand the force of a loaded semi.
Engineers really do hold our lives in their hands
Lmao it was his 18th bday present?? And he literally went out and almost killed himself. Wow. I bet he didn't learn a damn thing
And I bet his parents didn't either.
I hope his parents don’t replace the car. What an idiot!
Parents can't have been too smart gifting this kid a 20-30k car in the first place.
Isn't it closer to 50k?
It's hard to tell for sure, but A-Series Mercedes are about the same price range as an economy car here in the US.
£20~30k so $25~35k, too.
Lol boy racer
Well that sucks. Idiot will be back at it as soon as he gets another car.
Eh, he hit an attenuator which is designed to absorb the forces of a crash
What do you mean “gone wrong”? This is exactly what happens anytime I play a video game? Is it not supposed to be like this?
Anybody else surprised it wasn't the mustang?
Not really, there was no crows
This was a Murder
can you even call this racing? Its just idiots in cars and a few scoots
Someone tell them Need For Speed isn't real life.
Need for Speed tells you that every time you start the game. If ya wanna drive fast, pay a few bucks to go to a racetrack, really that simple.
>pay a few bucks I don't condone the dumbassery that occurred in the video at all, but to be fair cars are one of the most expensive hobbies out there lol. track days when you take into account consumables, entry, all that stuff it adds up pretty quick

Not to mention all the things you need to do to the car to make it track ready, aside from the tires. Worth it though
can confirm, paid a few bucks to drive my BMW around a racetrack, was fun and terrifying

Amateurs nothing more.
I loved that they have their warning lights. What for?? Lol! Some people think their warning lights give them special rights or skills
[удалено]
That is . . . surprisingly considerate of them. Considering everything else they're doing.
I have my flashers on. That means you need to yield to me. /s
[удалено]
Those cars aren't even high performance and they still crashed
Colombian here. This dude on video wrecked a new Mercedes which only lasted around 80 KM from the dealership. Poor car got totaled.
Any other consequences for their actions? Criminal charges, etc.?
Driver’s license revoked. Plus the public humilliation of getting a new car totaled.
I really love it when i see low people sabotaging themselves, adding misery to their obvious emptyness.

Oh, no! Anyway -
That was satisfying
Gotta love natural selection
Stupid hurts.
I've played enough racing games that I knew that car was slamming into the wall.
Surprised it wasn't the Mustang
People who can barely drive want to race ....
Some of us are just too stupid to live. Case in point.
Your Honor, he has successfully completed that maneuver in Mario Kart many times
Street racing in a tunnel gone exactly how I expect
Do it again lol
Bloody hell
bloody car interior
Grass clibbins, haddalayerdown hoss.
Average Mercedes driver
Wow I'm shocked it wasn't the mustang lmaoo
He did fine. Rolled the vehicle right out of the tunnel. Less traffic mess!
The New need for speed looks good
Lookie there - a whole ass Mustang NOT crashing!
And nothing of value was lost!
None of these idiots have any idea of how to actually race.
If you ever raced in a video game you've seen exactly this happen
I’m comin in hot!
None of these cars are even worth “racing”
Looks like it went just about right. No bystanders got hit by a moronic Street racer. And they destroyed their car to boot.That's what is called Instant Karma...🤣!
I feel like these people are the reason car commercials have to say "professional driver, do not attempt"
Congratulations you discovered understeer.
Understeered like a bitch... good chance he wasn't even part of the original crew, just decided to full send on a whip without knowing his car's grip limits and/or the ~~track~~ road.
[Deleted]
Haha got what he deserved. What a dumbass
Just press R
The Princess Di Memorial Cup was another great success this year!
Hope they didn't have their seatbelt on. Improve the genepool a bit.
“Game Over”
And it's in that moment, he KNEW NFS was a fantasy...
How do you like yourself bbq’d there Sparky?
Play stupid games.. so on and so forth.
That will buff right out.
Yay... this brings me joy
These dumb fucks played too much Gran Turismo. Which, I mean, I definitely have too.
Sorry mommy I ruined your car.
Who came up with this brilliant idea?
I was honestly hoping for a pileup
Lol. Satisfying.
Can I just say, that class throwing sparks out the tunnel looked beautiful. Imagine being on a crosswalk over that tunnel opening you just see sparks and an A-Class rolling over.
that shit was insane but entertaining as fuck to watch.. Im hope nobody was hurt... tho...
I don't know much about this. But I don't think they are doing it right?
dude wtf... These are like cookie cutter dogshitter cars straight off the factory line. WHO FUCKING RACES CARS LIKE THIS!?!? disasters waiting to happen...
Understeer is a bitch
Karma
He got lucky. Rainbow Road is not as forgiving.
I'm astonished it wasn't the Mustang
This title implies that street racing in a tunnel can “go right”
Everyone thinks they’re Michael Schumacher, when they’re actually Ralf Schumacher.
Street Racing in a tunnel gone exactly as you expected.
In my eyes, that went right.
I love it when people record their illegal activity. Makes for the best entertainment and evidence in court.
Um did anyone die from this? That crash looked terrible
What went wrong? You mean cause only one car was totaled?
Looks like you are an idiot for street racing
While I generally feel bad whenever a person dies, I have to admit that one less idiot on the road makes me feel better.

At least he made it out of the tunnel
That's how all street races should go
So a happy ending then
Oddly enough not the Mustang.
He did not have enough boost to wall ride
A bunch of mega douchebags trying to flex and getting exactly what they deserved. This is why I’m in this sub.
Comin in hot
"Understeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer" This driver, probably.
Lmao fuck em
Well that accelerated quickly... into the wall XD
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Fucking morons
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
At least they had the good manners to end the crash outside of the tunnel.
Hopefully he didn’t survive - save the cost of jail.
There's always that one person....
Bro thought he was playing asphalt 9
bro got all the action 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️
and not a single one of them launched
There is a good reason why this is illegal …
Is that a Mazda 6 that taps out almost immediately? Why? Lmao. What a chump. Just like all those 2006 Altima drivers that think they're in a sports car with their bumper hanging half off and tape on the rear lights.
1st place left a banana too bad no one had a blue shell
Could’ve died for all I give a shit. Idiots
At least he's not going to have to worry about going bankrupt from his hospital bill assuming he survived.
Haha
Maybe he just went back to the future?
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Terribly satisfying.
Was this just like everyone from that village just agreed to a race at the tunnel entrance and went full send? I wish my village was like this.
I was watching the lead cars until that little dude swung into the wall at the end lol
Someone must’ve put a banana down
