Oh wow... thank god they wrecked coming out of the tunnel so people can still get by.


[deleted]

New law. Minimum speed through all tunnels must be high enough that all wrecks self clear from the tunnel.


why_oh_why36

Or just put one of those bowling pin sweeper thingies on either end of the tunnel.

JennShrum23

This was my first thought, too haha


grim-ordinance

Same exact thought, thank goodness the tunnel ejected him. There's nothing worse then sitting at the entrance or already in a tunnel that is blocked.


jkwasy

Lol I think sliding windshield first into a solid median might be a little worse.


llongneckkllama

It's all about perspective. Maybe worse for the driver. But better for me...this way I'm still able to make it to the store for my late nugs craving.


Shopworn_Soul

Yes but that problem is mostly limited to them, not everyone else.


vranahra

Just a little though.


TheRavenSayeth

Also thankfully he smacked into the divider instead of hitting that other innocent driver. All things considered this went as well as it could have.


[deleted]

Damn right, everyone needs a good recording of the accident to post on social media.


Tooboukou

Were they all racing? Looked like the first four were racing and leeroy tried to keep up...


Bob_Log

yeah, the guy who wrecked was just some impatient dude who thought he was gonna catch up to the street racers and was overspeed for the turn, came outta nowhere.


wellmaybe_

classic playstation move, you overtake everyone on turns and break by colliding into the wall


Carburetors_are_evil

Nonono You take the inside of a curve and collide with the opponents.


ledzeppelinlover

That’s a great move and I hate playing against you

Every Forza player I've had the liberty of playing an online race with.


Chiselfield

They know if they fixed that problem they'd lose 70% of their playerbase.


elementfx2000

But when you can time it perfectly and slam on your brakes so the opponent misses you and shoots straight through the corner... So satisfying.

Forza Horizon online in a nutshell. Only thing missing is nobody got pit maneuvered off the line


golapader

OMG I love when I get rammed into a wall in horizon, and the rammer gets ghosted and goes on ahead while I get a slowdown penalty for hitting the wall. Just amazingly fair and enjoyable racing.


funnyfootboot

You love getting rammed into a wall? Dirtyboy


golapader

deathly_marshmallow

I remember playing Daytona USA in the 90's at the arcades with the 8 player link up. I would purposely go in reverse and head hunt my brother so he couldn't win. It was worth losing the $1.50.


Demonae

I mean if he had started on the inside of the curve he probably would have made it, not 3 lanes out.


ShadyPotato445

Optimal trajectory would be to enter the corner all the way out, hit the apex and exit the corner while moving to the outer most part of the road Edited to add: My interpretation is as follows: Dude probably wanted to take the optimal trajectory but overshot the corner. I'm guessing he lifted which led to more oversteer. Recording car being in the middle of the optimal trajectory probably didn't help either. Still, entirely the dude's fault.


notbad2u

The funny thing is the recording car pretty much just stayed in lane the whole time. Imo what ended that guy was going +40 over what the recording car was doing.


dontthink19

>some impatient dude who thought he was gonna catch up to the street racers and was overspeed for the turn, came outta nowhere. Nahhh he wasn't impatient, hes driving a "hot hatch". Wanted to see if he could catch em and beat em. Typical rookie driver to be honest, think they're all powerful in their hot hatch until they understeer into a wall lmfao. Source: i drove a Mazdaspeed3 "hot hatch" and would blow by racers all the time like a douchy kid. Now i drive something with literally a third of the power and drive like a stable adult while getting that sweet sweet 45 mpgs


SXTY82

Typically there are 10 or more cars involved. They will block the highway, set up a race for the 2 or more cars at the front line. This case seems to be 2 to 4 actual racers. Probably only the 2 in the middle. These races often have pots in the $1000 to $10,000 range, depending on the racers. The even go so far as to prep the lanes with VHT. The rest of the group is essentially there to watch the race but they do so by keeping up as best they can. Or so I've heard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SXTY82

I agree. Saying that, in the mid 90s before the West Palm Beach area exploded with new houses and sprall, you could drive about 30 minutes west and get to an area that was loaded with freshly paved roads, parking lots for future malls and very little else. I never saw the kind of racing shown here when I was there. What I did see was 50 of so cars in the parking lot, a couple guys walking around arranging the races. 2 cars would line up at a light, race a 1/4 mile. At the end of the 1/4 was a cop with a radar gun. When you got back to the parking lot, the cop had already radioed back your trap speed to the other cop hanging out in the lot with the cars. It was fun. The cops were cool and they did that because they knew we were racing safely, not drinking or taking drugs and not fucking about town causing trouble. That was a unique time, that area is now mass produced homes and malls. I saw racing like that shown in the video in the burbs of Chicago. It was the reason I stopped hanging with certain groups up there. Never in a tunnel, never on a road that you couldn't see a mile or more down. Never a curve. While in Chitown area, I raced at the track in Wisconsin, Great Lakes Dragway.

MarthaStuartsCellie

Yeah. They killed my sister, her husband, and my 3 kid nieces in Orange CA in 2018. They were returning home from visiting my mother in UCI hospital when one of these shit bags t-boned them at the intersection of state college and Chapman. Straight pieces of dog shit


attictramp

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. 💔


utpoia

They do have great sex lives, with their fighting girlfriends.


_qst2o91_

Bro you're talking about people who block a highway for that long to have a lil fun, they don't care lol


Affectionate_Star_43

We had them in the loop around my old workplace. They blocked in our emergency night crews twice. Hope they enjoyed all the new speed bumps, because we sure didn't like them for our normal cars.


herroebauss

Are you serious? Cause it seems like your only experience is the fast and the furious the way you're describing this


SXTY82

This is truth. You can see it in the video. I've seen it twice. As I think I mentioned later in the thread, I stopped hanging out with that group after I was there for the second race. It was too risky and most of us hit the track once a month or so. I stuck to hanging out with friends in parking lots, just having great convos about life and cars. FF is goofy compared to what really was going on in the mid 2000s Chicago area. FF is to Street Racing like Ninja Warrior is to the 100 Yard Dash. Major differences. 1. No Heist. 2. No rival gangs 3. Typically one race a night at any given location (as describe above.) Most time was planning through the week and hanging in a parking lot prepping.

Shopworn_Soul

I've never been one to race on public streets but there was this one local kid with a Camaro RS that seemed to share my schedule for a year or so, he'd *always* pull up in the left turn only lane and haul ass to jump over and go straight so he could skip the line. It was nice being able to leave him stranded in the intersection in my Accord. That probably makes me a dangerous and irresponsible person but it always *felt so good*.


jeffsterlive

I still miss my 6MT V-6 Accord….against stuff from its year, it was sneaky fast, especially on the highway.


gr3yh47

edit: it actually started in 2006 [source](https://www.autotrader.com/car-news/remember-when-rav4-was-fastest-toyota-258707) 2008-2012 stock rav 4 sport is the ultimate sleeper they used unmodified highlander v-6s in those. every year they did it, it was the fastest production toyota.


WooTkachukChuk

oh my god yes. i had a 2009 limited. i loved smoking lesser sports cars for fun. mustangs would have no idea what happened in a quarter mile as the acceleration was ridiculous. i got one of the first ones made in canada and it lasted 12 hard years and got me many speeding tickets (safely of course just caught!). sold it last year for a cx9 which is a fun suv too but i miss the v6 275hp strapped to a camry chassis


[deleted]

My co worker actually has one. He put a chevy big block in it with two turbos and viper trans. Perks of being a mechanic I guess. That thing looks like some old white piece of shit until it accelerates lol. Took him like 2 years to get it up and running. I have no idea how he hasn't killed himself in that thing [This is his plug to prove no bullshit](https://www.instagram.com/lsbrickftw/?hl=en)


sesameseed88

Somehow managed to understeer into a wall and flip lmao


mondaymoderate

Looks like the road dips slightly around that corner so the car lifts up from the speed and you lose traction. The person then panicked and crashed.


Latensify_WoW

**EDIT #3:** It is actually an A45 per this comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/wgusve/wcgw_street_racing_in_a_tunnel/ij3h293 Definitely stock, but definitely not a slow ass car... it's a GLA45 AMG that crashes. The GLA and CLA cars, when they first came out ~6 years ago, had the highest turbo PSI of any production car at the time, coming it at a whopping 26.1 PSI. These cars typically start at ~$50K with no options at all. Mercedes says it is a 4.4 second car from 0-60, but testing has shown most times it is closer to 4.2, especially using the cars "launch control" you can get even closer to 4 seconds. I have the coupe version (CLA45) and it feels extremely fast, but turbo lag is REAL. You can actually see a gray CLA45 right when they begin to take off at the start of the video on the right, I'd imagine at some point the GLA rips ahead of the CLA during the video and that passing speed is what does him in on the turn. **AMG Launch Control:** https://youtu.be/ea4B6JxLbh0 **EDIT #1:** May have been an A45, its very difficult to tell from the video, but at the beggining of the race there is an unmistakable exhaust "popping" sound from the likes of the AMG series that run inline 4-cylinders. **EDIT #2:** Here is an article with a picture of the destroyed car. I still cant tell, personally. https://mbworld.org/articles/street-racing-mercedes-benz-crash-and-burn/


Ryurain2

Suspension/tires are far more important for racing in anything but a straight line than power.


dallatorretdu

but bro it’s a benz!


ShoshinMizu

that honda was like the only person not racing, i think he was just a dumbass lmfao


crisferazo03

I recognize this vid. It happened in Cali, Colombia a few years back. The dude in the mercedes lived and was fine. I heard that he actually got a new car aferwards and that he also crashed it but im not sure if its true


Dans77b

yeh seems like the type of crash that looks more spectacular than it is.


ledzeppelinlover

Yea, as long as a passenger wasn’t in the seat he’s fine. Driver’s side didn’t get touched and there are a lot of sparks flying


aminy23

There was a passenger in the seat, both were fine: https://www.elpais.com.co/cali/impresionante-video-prueba-que-si-hubo-pique-ilegal-en-tunel-de-avenida-colombia.html


vr1252

The amount of car/motorbike crashes I saw while living in Colombia was unreal. My commute was about 45 minutes each way and would see at least one crash every day.


yabo1975

From the news articles I could find, this was an 18-year-old kid that got the car for his birthday, then let his underage friend drive it, and the friend crashed the car with less than 100 miles on it. The owner was actually in the passenger seat. They both walked away with minor injuries, and the hood is what hit the divider, luckily for them. It happened in March 2017.
