External rotation with valgus stress on the knee.

What a load of self-indlugent wank.
I usually avoid these stupid videos, so shame on me for indulging, but it is soooooo cringe.

This guy is an adult human, who seemingly this is his day job? We do live in the stupidest timeline.

Why has no one comments on how this ding dong films himself the entire time. Why?

Listening to a YouTuber drivel is bad enough. Now we need to look at them also?

I don't even have a BMW any more. I have a ton of complaints about my M4CS (suspension, worst brakes of all time, lack of brake cooling) for track performance but it was still awesome and I'd turn it into a purpose built track car any day of the week before considering a GTR for that.

I mean you can cope all you want but you're sitting here trying to prove that an elephant is a great platform to stop & take corners in - it's not. It's one dimensional and there's way better options out there for that purpose. I get that the GTR has a loyal following but if that's the first, second or third car you think of for track performance then just lol.

I guess there's also not enough room in the car to fracture his knee either.

During a traumatic accident people often don't feel pain or notice their injuries right away. Him walking, bedding over, or standing doesn't suprise me at all. You're arguing with someone who sees this on a daily basis.

Yep, he's laughing at all the internet hate while he cashes his big payday.

Best way to make money today is just be a dumbass on camera and post it everywhere

The nutjob is back..

Was it all staged? You smell me. Who says, "oh no, oh no" when heading into a tire wall at 170mph [in the original video] instead of saying "Oh Sh_t" or worse?? Not even a scream right before the impact.. Then there's the original video editing and Police on site at the track....

For me, after him walking through the incident, I really don't see how he's as bad as everyone is making him out to be. He owned up to the DOT3 fiasco. I didn't get into the details prior to this video with what he did to the brakes and after watching this video, he was doing what he should be doing with upgrading the brake hardware.

As to who says "Oh no oh no", it depends on the person. I've had some Oh $hit moments on the track on a motorcycle and I never said a word under my helmet. One where I carried way too much speed into turn 7 at VIR and almost became one with my riding coach as I was staring right at his rear tire leaned over. Then proceeded to pick up my bike in an off camber corner going straight down the hill in the run off area.

Come on, man. Really?

Going 170 on DRAG SLICKS with a brand new brake kit on lap 2?

I'd smack the crap out of my track buddies for saying they were going to do that on a new set of PADS, let alone a new set of rotors, calipers, and pads. And I'd do it to keep them ALIVE because I care about them.

This decision making process was BAD BAD BAD. Staged? Maybe. I hope somebody on track doesn't have that bad of judgement. I don't wanna share the track with them if they do.
