I posted one of the pics before, but the second I just got makes it worth posting again!

R32 GTR goes off onto what appears to be a grassy slope, but there is a concrete culvert not visible from the road......

I have seen some wrecks at Autocrosses and my first reaction was "get the camera" but I am always afrain people will get pissed because I am taking pics of someones bad luck.



I mean its a totally different story if the owner of the car is wanting pics. I would if it was me.

This guy was really good about it. Wanted pix, and wanted us to describe the car behavior before, during & just after the incident!

The lack of 4WD is what got him in trouble! He turned in, gassed hard, began to understeer and lifted before the ATESSA kicked the drive to the front. Goodbye!



Another driver who has had his R32 since new and is a lot more aggressive with the car did the same entry tekneek but kept it nailed stayed on the road. We all thought he was going off too but then the front wheels got drive & pulled the nose in........weird to watch. I need an R32, right after I complete my collection of Mazda rotaries
